Here's the problem for me: New Jersey and Virginia have gubernatorial elections this year. Virginia, especially, is going to be treated as a bellwether.
Should the Dem prevail, watch it be *instantly* challenged in the courts. Trump+MAGA will sing their only song: "Rigged, Stolen, Voter Frauuud!"
God I hope it does. Youngkin only won here for two reasons. One he just constantly hammered the racist Critical Race Theory is being taught in schools to get white suburbanites on board and two the Democrats seemed to think they would win without trying so they didn't try.
I'm old enough to remember the Obama years where if there was even a passing mention of the loss of a single coal miner job, it had to be paired with a program to provide training and support for a better job.
take this and apply it to any republican running right now. there isn't really a right answer. if trump and musk do 1/10th what they're threatening to do, huge numbers of people will lose their jobs in every state, in every district. people don't like it when their neighbors get fired.
By the time the election rolls around, half of NOVA will be out of work thanks to trump/Musk, and no Republican running for statewide office will be able to wash off that stench.
Of course Youngkin said this. He won by lying about CRT, tried to pretend he wasn’t a hard-core MAGA, then set up a Stasi-style snitch line about teachers within 2 weeks of election. He wants a cabinet or VP position, so watch it, Vance.
Miyares and Sears ruined their future prospects by throwing in with youngkin in the first place, and again by doing nothing while their party pillaged Virginia. They are both done.
Sears is saying similar things. Virginia is abandoned right now. We don't have a state elected fighting for our jobs between Youngkin, Sears, and Miyares. We need @abigailspanberger.com @levarstoney.bsky.social ASAP.

Fox News isn’t real life either.
