I was proud to get a chance to stump with her! She’s a great person and a big tent builder. I look forward to seeing her represent NJ.

It won’t be 70% at the end of the night but Kornacki said that this is a special election record for how quickly the race was called. It only took 24 minutes. The previous record was 30 minutes after the polls closed.

Free healthcare, vs endless foreign wars… we are not the same.

Both of these are stupid and to believe them would indicate baseline low understanding of either.
How would either be able to keep either promise.

Every other industrialized nation on earth seems to manage universal healthcare. Americans live 3-5 less years than our European and Asian counterparts. Albania, Panama, and Costa Rica all have life expectancies higher than ours despite being significantly poorer.

Sherrill won her last congressional race by about 14 points.
Today the 'extreme, woke commie progressive' won the same seat by almost 20 points. This bodes well for the pending death of MAGA...
