Powell has my vote at least.

Powell has my vote at least.

Lindsay > Sidney?

Is Powell favored to win? One would think so, but I'm not familiar with the district.

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

It's quite a blue county. It includes Pittsburgh, and is the second largest county in the state.

New Mexico governor issues order suspending the right to carry firearms in public across Albuquerque
New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Friday issued an emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in public across Albuquerque and the surrounding county for at least 30 days in response to a spate of gun violence. The Democratic governor said she expects legal challenges but was compelled to act because of recent shootings, including the death of an 11-year-old boy outside a minor league baseball stadium this week.

The Hill - Fetterman recaps six months in Congress: ‘Fixation on a lot of dumb s—‘
“The fact that we’re playing with something like [a debt ceiling] is antithetical to the stability of our democracy,” [Fetterman] argued, calling everyone in Washington “cynical.” “But we can fight for things that are meaningful,” Fetterman said, adding, “We’re fighting for women’s reproductive freedom, making sure we have resources and support our unions. I’m going to fight for what’s really important.”

Business Insider - John Fetterman says JD Vance is more focused on 'silly performance art' than trying to pass the railway safety bill they've introduced together

If one guy (Fetterman) is trying to get other Senators to vote for it and the other guy isn't (Vance), then of course it's only performative for the latter.

Fetterman in the early Halloween spirit.

Lol, hilarious. :P

Business Insider - [PA Democratic Senator] John Fetterman says he'll 'never understand' progressives who refuse to support Joe Biden

• Sen. John Fetterman has a message for progressives: support Joe Biden.
• The Pennsylvania Democrat says that supporting anyone besides Biden is the same as supporting Trump.
• He recalled his time serving as a Clinton surrogate in 2016, even after he supported Sanders.

You'll hear the same things out of Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders.

Even retiring Mitt Romney (R) says supporting a third party is the same as electing Trump (again).

The difference between a Clinton non-presidency and the Biden presidency is that third party voters switched from voting third party in 2016 to the Democratic ticket in 2020. More Trump 2016 voters showed up to vote in the 2020 election than Clinton 2016 voters according to the exits; it was third party voters and new & formerly non-voters that made the difference.

National Results 2020 President exit polls.
