Possibly, but I wouldn’t get your hopes up. It’s an unusual district, dominated by the politics of the orthodox Jewish community. Considering their rabid support for the genocide in Gaza, I’m not sure we would want them in our coalition anyways.
If this is the omen of things to come, Democrat voters have good reason to be very optimistic. This is not just a 'flip'. . . this is a toss of a Republican into the dumpster. Get ready for the midterms... no sleeping at the polls.
The district did go for Trump in 2024, so this win ain't nothing. But I am tired of these low-quality memes getting shared here. If I want disinformation, Twitter/X already exists.
No 'disinformation' here... unless you think Trump's initial win didn't stand a chance against a Democrat a few months later:
Last night, Democrat Sam Sutton defeated his Republican opponent to win New York’s 22nd State Senate District special election — a district Trump won by 55 points in 2024.
It's totally disinformation because it says he flipped the district. He didn't. A Democrat already had the seat. That doesn't meet the basic definition of "flip."
Being anti-Trump only gets the Dems so far. They need to actually do something to keep people voting for them. Hatred of Trump worked in Biden's and the Dem's favor. But they squandered that and gave us another 4 years of Trump.
Sorry for you if you think the Democrats are just going to 'sit and hate Trump'. I suspect they're going to be out in BIG numbers during the coming midterms (& any prior special elections). Total *disgust* will remind them what they have to do at the polls in 2026.
🙄 You haven't been paying attention the last 10 years, have you? They're going to pull the same "vote for our lackluster candidates, or it will be your fault the Republicans win!" bullshit.
Someone who doesn't recognize that the Republicans in Trump's administration are incompetent and downright dangerous - should not be bothered by 'lackluster'. It would still be a 100% elevation of the state of American government.
With all the so called turmoil within the democratic party candidates continue to win & with some surprises. Are the people bitching the loudest trying to destroy the success? The diversity & plethora of issues are the democrats worst enemy. Coming together with singular messaging far more difficult
Kicking him the hell out of office - and putting a 'lien' on his Saudi-gifted airplane - will be victory enough. Get ready for the midterms. Watch your district ridings carefully; know who to target and who to vote for.
