Thank you for the post. Wonder why Trump hasn’t endorsed Royce White. I know it’s a long shot but man i hope he pulls it off.
"Um, sir, you can't wear that hat in here."
Don't even.
VOTERS NEED TO SPEAK OUT TODAY!
Do you want a Stalinist Nazi regime and the end of your freedoms? Or are you going to stand up on behalf of OUR America???
Once again the Department of Justice(sic) and the FBI are proving themselves to be so corrupt in the raiding of a former President’s home when they have whitewashed every other crime going on!! It is so pathetic and they are proving themselves that they are what so many people have expected! The Biden administration is pointing their fingers at YOU America... are you happy?
AND THE FBI HIDING THE CRIMINAL WORK OF THE BIDEN FAMILY PROVEN ON A LAPTOP THAT THEY HAVE HAD IN CUSTODY FOR 2 YEARS?????
Vote the RINO Bums out today.
Re-post this every half hour today.
Vote as if your freedoms depends on it, because it does.
Get your butts out there and vote today Wisconsin!!!! Your state is critical to stopping vote fraud and getting Trump re-elected to his 3rd term!
Here in Minnesota, there are a few races of note.
In the 1st congressional district (southern Minnesota), there is a special election to fill out the remainder of the term for the seat left open when Jim Hagedorn died earlier this year. At last check, the Republicans were expected to hold the seat.
In the 5th congressional district Democrat primary (Minneapolis/first ring suburbs), incumbent Dem Ilhan Omar is being challenged by a former member of the Minneapolis City Council, Don Samuels. The latter is a liberal but not a firebrand like Omar. Anecdotally, I’ve heard it’s close but who knows?
Across the state, a number of GOP incumbents in the state legislature are being challenged by challengers on the right. Some have been quite brutal and expensive and unfortunately, the eventual GOP nominee will be a bit damaged coming out of the primary.
There has been a contentious primary for the GOP side for Attorney General. The winner will face dem incumbent Keith Ellison in November. Jim Schultz is the party’s endorsed candidate but is being challenged by Doug Wardlow, our 2018 nominee for AG.
Any Connecticut FReepers on? How’s the turnout?
GOP primary turnout in ‘18 was 250 at my polling place. I expected 180 today.
It was 110 at 330 pm.
DEM turnout was even lighter.
Hartford County Connecticut
Which is why the GOPe told Biden to go ahead and make his move against Trump.
Levy wins!! Congrats Pete, it was all your signs. And the good candidate for SOS?
Michels beats Kleefisch for WI governor. I wasn’t sure if there was anything wrong with her but some people thinks she’s too establishment and made pro-Obergfell noises.
Rick Scott’s handpicked lesbian ex-US Attorney candidate lost the primary for VT Senate to a conservative.
Ilhan Omar survives by 50-48, boo.
MN special election for CD 1, Olmstead country JUST reported (all at once, a MN thing?) and the GOP lead is down to just 2.3 points. The 2 outstanding counties are GOP so the lead will grow a little but it’s a very underwhelming win. Trump won it with 53% in 2020.
Both liberal Republicans lost.
The two party-endorsed Dems won in a romp against serious opponents. Dems aren’t tolerating dissent
Leora Levy was the right choice in the CT Senate primary; she actually has a chance to beat Blumenthal in the general. Great job, Pete!
I wouldn’t lose too much sleep about the MN-01 special election having been “close.” Yes, the district gave Trump 53% in 2016 and 54% in 2020, but Democrat U.S. House candidates have well outperformed national Democrats in the district.
In the great GOP year of 2014, Democrat incumbent Tim Waltz won 54.2%-45.7% over Republican Jim Hagedorn. Hagedorn tried again in 2016, but Waltz won again, this time by a narrow 50.4%-49.6%, despite Trump trouncing Hillary 53%-38% atop the ticket.
Waltz ran successfully for the governorship in heavily Democratic 2018, and the open-seat election saw Hagedorn beating Democrat Dan Feehan by a tiny 50.1%-49.7% margin. 2020 saw Trump whip Biden in MN-01 by 54%-44%, but the Hagedorn rather narrowly won reelection, edging Feehan by only 48.6%-45.5%, with the “Grassroots—Legalize Cannabis” party nominee getting 5.8%. Despite being the incumbent, Hagedorn ran over 5% behind Trump’s result in the district.
So the MN-01 is not a strongly Republican district in non-presidential elections, and a 51%-47% victory for a new Republican candidate in a special election against a well funded Democrat is by no means a terrible result. That’s the best showing for a GOP House nominee in the district, in terms of both vote percentage and victory margin, since Gil Gutknecht’s final successful reelection 18 years ago, back when Rochester’s Olmsted County was reliably Republican.
Democrats who see their “near miss” in the MN-01 as auguring successful elections nationwide this November are just whistling pass the graveyard.
Yes, that is true. No need to fret.
It seems the dem, despite romping in his home county did worse than Biden in most other rural counties.
In other news
GOP primary turnout eclipsed the dems in the 8th district for the first time.
GOP turnout also looked great in Wisconsin.
