My guess is it’s higher than it otherwise would have been, but according to the article, it’s significantly less than when RGB died. I’m not sure whether that is good or bad? Seems like fundraising for this decision should have equaled or surpassed the totals from her death, given how much focus is being placed on it, yet it’s nearly 50% less.

You’re making the false assumption that I care about that. It’s one thing to express an opinion on an issue or to boycott a meeting with the President. Birk has been putting his money where his mouth is for decades. In his case, it’s not just about enacting laws, and calling for bans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTV Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/26/politics/midterm-elections-democrats/index.html from the article: Though gerrymandering of House districts leaves only a few truly competitive ones, that pool of targets appears plenty large enough to place the speaker's gavel in GOP hands. Republicans need a net gain of only four seats -- a fraction of the average historical gain for the party not holding the White House -- to recapture the majority. In a Senate now split 50-50, Republicans need a net gain of only one seat. But that won't come as easily. In 2022, the political geography is decidedly blue. Democrats can hold the Senate merely by reelecting incumbents in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and New Hampshire -- all states Biden won in 2020. If they can't keep them all, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin provide chances to flip Republican seats in two more states Biden won.

Matthews is currently a member of the South Carolina State House. The voters in her district need to know about this phone conversation with inmates. Hopefully they don't elect her for the U.S. Senate. Matthews: "... I know how to turn it off and turn it on." "... we need some folks that can wear all black at night and take they f******* yard signs down. When they, when they sleeping." "They can't tell they family, you know, period, because I can't trust family." "I don't care about no dope money! Give me that dope boy money!" Her campaign website states: When running for re-election in 2020, she had the backing of not only progressive party leaders like Stacey Abrams but also the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce. If the organization heard the YouTube video, it might decide to support someone else. Edited June 27, 2022 by RTV 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
