Former TV anchor John Avlon is out at CNN but hopes to find himself in Congress in January, he announced on social media on Wednesday morning.
The partisan former network mainstay is running for the nomination in New York’s first congressional district -- a seat currently held by Republican Rep. Nick LaLota.
**SNIP**
In a video he posted on his X page, Avlon pleaded with the people of eastern Long Island to put him into office.
“It's official: I'm running for Congress in #NY01 because there's too much at stake for the country & community I love,” Avlon wrote.
He added, “Long Island families deserve someone who fights for their values, not Trump's. It's time for us all to get off the sidelines.”
In his video, Avon referred to conservatives as “MAGA minions.”

"Right now, our democracy's in danger," Avlon said. "This election is not a drill. It's up to all of us to step up and get off the sidelines.”
The former CNN personality said “too much” is at stake for him not to run.
"We need to build the broadest possible coalition to defeat Donald Trump, defend our democracy and win back the House from his MAGA minions, who don't even seem interested in solving problems anymore,” he said.
Avlon went on to say he wants to get elected in order to protect abortion and to fight “climate change.”
“Democrats can’t afford to lose this fight,” he concluded.

Who ?
So being disqualified for a job at CNN qualifies you for a job in Congre$$? Go figure
The partisan former network mainstay?
He should have stayed.
Never heard of him.....................
Being called a minion I had to look up exactly what I am…….
bootlicker · doormat · fan · fawner · flatterer · flunky · follower · groupie · hanger-on · lackey · puppet · stooge · toady.
Never heard of him.
Great! Another MEGA-CNN Maggot who doesn’t want to Make America Great Again. A two bit thug loser.
Gae.
yup
It appears former CNN anchor John Avalon is a Democrat open borders fluffer.
Perfect person to run as the Democrat candidate!
Looks like a gay version of Ricky Ricardo, but instead of being the sane one to Lucy’s idiocy, he’s the idiot.
"My fellow Americans, vote for me as your congressman and I will fight, FIGHT, to keep eastern Long Island free from those migrant workers that come into our towns, leave such messes everywhere and disgust us as they walk around our beautiful towns! I will fight for a woman's right to choose so that fewer of those mongrel children will be born - you know they are all headed to prison anyway. And I will fight to protect the rights of LGBTQs, especially those teaching in the schools, so that they can enlighten and expand the learning opportunities for your children. Vote for me, to protect the values we so deeply cherish! I will fight for you!"
Right now, our democracy’s in danger,” Avlon said
