What in the world does FOX HUNTING have to do with the United States Congress?!

More than you might think!

In Episode 2 of Political Explainers, I'm breaking down what a congressional WHIP actually does, where that crazy title came from, and a few things I learned working for Jim Clyburn.

Let's get into it! 👇

Hurray… seat belts but women can’t control their own bodies… voting rights act essentially gutted and destroyed… presidents with immunity for criminal behavior all because of Nader’s 2000 narcissistic vanity. But yay we have seatbelts.

Guess you also have no mirrors in your home. Haha.

Ever wonder who actually runs Congress? What's the difference between the Speaker, Majority Leader, and Minority Leader? And who picks these folks?

Well, I've worked behind the scenes on Capitol Hill and even helped run congressional leadership elections.

So let's pull back the curtain!

My latest thoughts on how Democrats must double down on investing in the South. https://t.co/jrgHRKHoiz

I would buy through the paywall of any story that includes the reporter asking these protesters when they have protested a single Republican office holder any time, but especially in the last 2 years they’ve had unified controls of Washington.

Reporters - please take me up on it 🙏🏽

Annie Andrews actually won a majority of SC State House Districts, 67/124 to be exact! Democrats only won 45 seats, so there were 22 Andrews/R State House Seats. (1/2)

Jaime Harrison in a tweet to Ralph Nader…

[Andrew Solender @AndrewSolender]

Ralph Nader in a letter to Hakeem Jeffries: "You should resign as Minority Leader and abandon your House Speakership ambition to honor the will of the midterm voters and their impressive vote of confidence in progressive candidates and fundamental changes for the people."

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

Reminder: The internal House vote for Speaker is Wednesday, Nov. 18. If you have a few minutes or an hour, use this link below to call Representatives and let them know you support Leader Hakeem Jeffries!

The voters are watching, Tim Scott. 👀

South Carolinians just broke the Republican supermajority. See you in 2028.

Dialogue… dude you had to go back to the 1800s to try and make a point. My 2nd grader knows that Lincoln’s Republican Party and Trump’s Republican Party aren’t even in the same universe. I’m not wasting my time with your nonsense. I get it … you need attention. I can’t help you with that.

[Jaime Harrison @harrisonjaime]

They tried to dismantle Black political power and turn back the clock. History had other plans and instead, we witnessed its greatest expansion since Reconstruction!

6 Black Democratic US Senators (NJ, DE, GA, MD, IL, MS) and 5 Black Democratic Governors (MD, GA, NV, WI, VI)

Let that sink in! #WhileWeBreatheWeVote

Senator-Elect Andrews and I met while in Washington today.

I am committed to ensuring a smooth transition, and I wish her and her team the best.

[Jalisa Washington-Price @j_washingtonSC]

Just a note: As a political media consultant, I love a good, creative ad. But wins like SC, GA, MS, NC and TX don’t come from flashy ads alone. They come from years of organizing, cycle after cycle, with little to no investment and a lot of courage to keep trying. The organizers on the ground are the real heroes of election night, even if most of them never get the national spotlight.

Let's find them invest in them and empower them to keep winning!
