.@KamalaHarris: “They are ruthless. And look, we are never going to violate the law or do anything unethical or immoral, but we need to be ruthless, too.”
Telling how none of these Abughazaleh postmortems is willing to acknowledge the main reason behind her loss (repeated by countless actual IL-09 voters On Here): that she was a carpetbagger with no ties to the district, and more than a supermajority of voters didn't like that.
Congratulations to Governor @JBPritzker and @cmitchellforlg as they move forward as the Democratic ticket for Governor and Lieutenant Governor!
Under Governor Pritzker’s leadership, Illinois fought for working families and proved that our state moves forward when we stand up for each other.
Illinois Democrats are united and ready to elect Democrats up and down the ballot in November.
The biggest mistake Kat the Karpetbagger made was not doing one of her slick little videos to address her carpetbagging.
It didn’t matter who she was or what she stood for. You’re not going to helicopter into a district that you have precisely zero connection to a year before an election and expect to win. At the very least a thin gruel explanation like “my boyfriend moved here for work so I moved with him” gives her some relatability.
It was offensive to the district’s voters for her to think she could waltz in represent a people and a place she doesn’t know. For this reason I’m glad she lost.
The nation's oldest and largest Latino civil rights group, LULAC, will endorse a presidential candidate for the first time, CBS News has learned. It will back Kamala Harris. https://t.co/AR6UjDJhki
Pete: we know why & it’s not right, but America still has some growing up to do on both sides of the aisle.
Shapiro: baggage (Google it, it’s a lot).
Beshear: unintentional cringe & changing viewpoints on abortion.
Kelly: issues w/ labor unions & immigration in his state.
Twitter is going to lose its mind when, after a week of debate surrounding Josh Shapiro and Tim Walz — either of whom would make incredible picks for Vice President, Harris throws a curveball and picks Pete Buttigieg.
People know that @PeteButtigieg can deliver a line in a studio or interview, but his ability to feed off a large crowd and channel their energy is incredible!
"The point is what lies on the other side of the fight."
Pete Buttigieg: I have seen how the industrial Midwest went into a manufacturing recession under Donald Trump and has experienced a manufacturing renaissance under the Biden-Harris administration. Why is that? Because Biden-Harris has invested in these communities. How could JD Vance initially think that Donald Trump is a disaster, watch him lead the country into a manufacturing recession, and then say, ‘oh now I've seen the light, he's a great leader and I want to be on his team?’ We all know why JD Vance changed his mind
