Adrienne Elrod, a senior spokesperson for the Harris-Walz campaign, bumbled and tripped all over her words while explaining VP Kamala Harris’s stance on guns. The worst part? She stumbles on whether Harris has a gun or not.

But he’ll face a serious fight for the seat against Elrod, who overwhelmingly won the...

If you think your vote isn't important, consider what happened in the 97th district in Indiana: Jon Elrod defeated Edmund Mahern by 5 votes. True, we took a beating a few weeks ago, but our votes do matter...don't give up.
