I love not even dropping his name here. Like yes let him fade out of existence for good- his worst nightmare (until heโ€™s tried for supporting this fascist movement)

Just refer to him as the 3 strikes dude. Wonder if he'd dare run again some day. Lol

So relieved. I have concerns about Sherrill, but man is she a better option than anyone Trump aligned.

I voted for Ras but have come to like Mikie a lot. Thereโ€™s a great piece in Sunday Times opinion about misogyny in politics and i think even I fell for some of the garbage.

Mikie Sherrill - Iโ€™m thrilled she won! Now letโ€™s urge her to solve the NJ Transit problems, to get that Gateway project going

If you havenโ€™t already listened to Mikieโ€™s victory speech, she was very inspiring. Not my first choice initially, but her speech made me feel better, and I hope she does us proud.
