She was going to get clobbered in the primary against Ruben Gallego. Now Dems only have one move, which is not to run anybody against her.

Wow! I was concerned that Kyrsten Sinema would switch to independent but I never thought she'd do it this fast.

This is the first time since the direct election of U.S. Senators where every Senator who ran for reelection has been reelected.

Congratulations to Rafael Warnock who just won his fourth election in two years.

Huge political news if this happens. I haven't heard anyone else's analysis but I'm not opposed to these changes. The way our primary is organized right now makes no sense.

It looks like this is really going to happen, and it’s about time. A bunch of states are making their case, but because the Democratic party owes such a huge debt to Black voters, it’s a pretty good bet that it will be a state with a large Black population. South Carolina fits that bill and has been early in the primary calendar anyway, so is not a bad bet. Biden is biased, of course, because that was the state that established his front runner status in 2020.

I've never seen someone so thirstily forcing a bankrupcy.

This FTX thing is the horrible, but I do kind of like the fact that they were all in a poly relationship. People keep saying that fact like it’s part of the reason why a billion dollars evaporated, and I’m like “If none of them were fucking, I’m pretty sure that money would’ve gone away anyway.”

Tweet of the day:

“Be realistic. How could Trump beat a popular Florida Governor backed by the entire Republican establishment?”

Because there will be 6-7 candidates and Trump's base will get rid of all of them including De Santis if something doesn't happen to stop him.

[OscarGuy]

From what I've heard De Santis is a shitty public speaker and has a squeaky voice. I'm sure all the R's will vote just because, but some have suggested that these might be factors against him winning over independents.

To be fair, DeSantis reminds me more of Scott Walker.

Walker, and I also get Christie vibes. There's always some "Asshole Governor"-type that they get excited by.
