2024 elections Congressional & State

[BDKJMU]

FWIW this is for the conk primary 8/20 in FL’s 1st Congressional District, which is solid red (2020 Trump +30 something). Gaetz’s opponent.

It will be a good test of whether Florida Republicans believe that a show of support for BLM is worse than being a pedophile.

Dimmock (never heard of him before a few hours ago) has said he’s Pro Life, Pro Gun, amd Pro Trump, so we’ll see.

Kari Lake uses her Republican National Convention speech to increase her support by 0

Kari Lake had her five minutes under the sun Tuesday at the Republican National Convention and spent precisely none of it trying to broaden her base.

It was a made-for-MAGA moment — certainly not the stuff of a candidate who desperately needs to figure out a way to appeal to those McCain Republicans and independents she spent three years savaging.
...
Lake got a warm reception in Milwaukee.

But here in Arizona, she’s still getting the cold shoulder from the moderate voters who will decide this race.

'A roller coaster': Harris' sudden rise resets a tight battle for the House

From the outset of the election cycle, Democrats’ path to the majority ran through the 18 GOP-held House districts that Biden won four years ago, 10 of which are in historically blue California and New York. But Biden was still lagging in the polls, as voters voiced concerns about his age and Democrats reported low levels of enthusiasm.

Now, key parts of the Democratic coalition — young, Black, Latino and suburban women voters — are coming back to the party with Harris in the mix, Smith said.

“It’s those core groups that we need in order to win. And we’re seeing, already, upticks in most, if not all, of our internal polling in a lot of those districts,” Smith said.

Still, Democrats have little room for error in such a small and evenly divided battlefield. Of the 22 House seats the Cook Political Report with Amy Walter rates as “toss-ups,” 11 are held by Democrats and 11 are held by Republicans. Both parties have reserved $265 million in airtime across those 22 districts for ads after Labor Day, with Democrats spending $135 million to Republicans’ $130 million, according to the tracking firm AdImpact.

Harris isn't rising she's being propagandized by the media. Everyone knows she's the same person that couldn't get 1% of her own parties vote. That is how stupid the democrats have become.

American Black Nazi Party Worried Mark Robinson Could Hurt Other Candidates Down Ballot

“Mark Robinson does not represent the African American Third Reich,” said American Black Nazi Party chairwoman Sandra Higgins, who warned that by refusing to exit the race, Robinson was endangering the campaigns of thousands of American Black Nazi Party candidates in races ranging from county commissioner to U.S. Senate. “There are so many tight races between American Black Nazi and Democratic candidates right now. We’ve made significant inroads with racist Black voters for years, and now, I fear, we could lose them all. It’s a shame his pornography use is undercutting the very insightful comments he has made about Martin Luther King Jr.”

Wait, Commiela assured us the Biden/Harris administration was never supportive of a ban on fracking. Then how could Casey have stood up to Biden on a ban on fracking.

Also on Monday Commiela campaigned in Erie. Casey was too busy doing something else to attend. Something tells me Casey will be too busy to attend any more Commiela rallies in PA over the next 17 days..

Commiela held 3 events in Wisconsin yesterday. Tammy Baldwin was too busy doing something else’s to attend any.

Don’t look now, but Cook has moved all Donk Big 10 seats into tossup.

Donk seats:
-WV: Solid Red
-MT: Leans Red
-PA: Tossup
-OH: Tossup
-MI: Tossup
-WI: Tossup

Conk seats:
-TX: Leans Red
-NE: Leans Red (Conk vs Independent)

Remember, for Senate control conks only need to gain 1 seat with Trump in the WH, 2 seats with Commiela.
