Virginia, I hear you. You’re fed up with Trump’s rising costs, reckless policies, and corruption. So am I. It’s an honor to keep fighting for you in the Senate. I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and get our country back on track.

“Blanche is in town to announce federal funding for Jackson.” Yeah. Sure. 🙄

🚨 BREAKING: Democracy Docket is on the ground in Jackson, Mississippi, where Attorney General Todd Blanche is holding a press conference near where Hinds County voters go to cure their ballots. With a Tuesday deadline for voters to fix affidavit ballots in a Senate race where every vote counts, a heavy police presence surrounds the area. Pro-voting demonstrators showed up to protest and say the scene amounts to voter intimidation, video journalist Emily Gross reports. Blanche is in town to announce federal funding for Jackson.

A big call from CNN: They project Eileen Laubacher has defeated Rep. Lauren Boebert, one of the most visible ultraconservative members of Congress. This also means that Democrats have flipped 3 of the GOP's 4 House seats in Colorado, and will hold 7 of the state's 8 seats.

Congrats to @INDems and my former state senate socialist colleague @KarenTallian. I feel very confident in Karen’s leadership and that Republicans will continue to dominate the state on her watch.

Thank you Coumba Kebe for running a race that engaged and excited Hoosier voters all over our state. Your campaign was an instrumental part of our success up and down the ballot across Indiana.

Hoosiers, you made history. The most state legislative seats flipped in one election by either party in 52 years. Let’s get to work.

After losing 16 seats in the State House, Indiana Republicans made the author of the failed mid-decade Redistricting bill the new Speaker of the House. It’s clear they’ve learned nothing from this election.
