Roe v Wade!
Women, young people. Most seem to be ignoring this. Dems get whooped if Sleepy Joe runs against DeSanctimonious. I would love Chump to win the nomination though  The US is crying out for fresh blood and new ideas. Pelosi and McConnell have to go so do the rest of the old guard. Bush's, Clinton's Amrika is fed up. Biden is part of the swamp. |

Moscow Mitch was re-elected as leader yesterday which means plenty of entertainment ahead as Trump hates him and Mitch will be doing everything he can to stop Trump becoming the nominee.

I suggest you all go and take a look at early front runners in pres races. Ignoring Trump, atm rds is that front runner/alternative and everyone rallies round until someone else appears. RDS has never really been under any pressure in campaigns esp in debates but when he does (come under a bit of pressure) he doesn't seem to react well. He will come under incredible scrutiny over the next year and its how he comes out of that that will decide things. If I were him I'd carry on being gov and concentrate on 2028 to tidy up the inevitable gop mess post Trump.

GOP’s Lisa Murkowski wins reelection in Alaska Senate race
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Alaska Republican U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski has won reelection, defeating Donald Trump-endorsed GOP rival Kelly Tshibaka. Murkowski beat Tshibaka in the Nov. 8 ranked choice election. The results were announced Wednesday, when elections officials tabulated the ranked choice results after neither candidate won more than 50% of first-choice votes. Murkowski wound up with 54% of the vote after ranked choice voting, picking up a majority of the votes cast for Democrat Pat Chesbro after she was eliminated. “I am honored that Alaskans — of all regions, backgrounds and party affiliations — have once again granted me their confidence to continue working with them and on their behalf in the U.S. Senate,” Murkowski said in a statement. “I look forward to continuing the important work ahead of us.” Tshibaka in a statement posted on her website congratulated Murkowski but took fault with ranked choice voting. “The new election system has been frustrating to many Alaskans, because it was indisputably designed as an incumbent-protection program, and it clearly worked as intended,” she said. The race also included Republican Buzz Kelley, who suspended his campaign after the August primary and endorsed Tshibaka. Murkowski was the only Senate Republican who voted to convict Trump at his impeachment trial last year who was on the ballot this year. Trump was not convicted. But her vote was a sore point for the former president, who vowed to campaign against her. https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-donald-trump-alaska-223ea5a590c1b9c4f7905ab4b7849e6f |

Democrat Mary Peltola defeats Sarah Palin in race for Alaska's at-large House seat
Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola has won a full two-year term representing Alaska in the House, NBC News projected Wednesday, defeating former governor and GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. Peltola made history in August when she became the first Alaska Native seated in Congress after she won the special election to replace longtime GOP Rep. Don Young, who died in March at the age of 88. Shortly after news broke that she had won a full term on Wednesday night, Peltola tweeted "WE DID IT!!!" https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2022-election/democrat-mary-peltola-defeats-sarah-palin-race-alaskas-large-house-sea-rcna58207 |

Arizona certifies 2022 election despite GOP complaints
PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona’s top officials certified the midterm election results Monday, formalizing victories for Democrats over Republicans who falsely claimed the 2020 election was ****. The certification opens a five-day window for formal election challenges. Republican Kari Lake, who lost the race for governor, is expected to file a lawsuit after weeks of criticizing the administration of the election. Election results have largely been certified without issue around the country, but Arizona was an exception. Several Republican-controlled counties delayed their certification despite no evidence of problems with the vote count. Cochise County in southeastern Arizona blew past the deadline last week, forcing a judge to intervene on Friday and order the county supervisors to certify the election by the end of the day. “Arizona had a successful election,” Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, said before signing the certification. “But too often throughout the process, powerful voices proliferated misinformation that threatened to disenfranchise voters.” The statewide certification, known as a canvass, was signed by Hobbs, Republican Gov. Doug Ducey, Republican Attorney General Mark Brnovich and Chief Justice Robert Brutinel, a Ducey appointee. https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-arizona-biden-cabinet-phoenix-government-and-politics-29f0883bf2a47743d55d1b45ec43cbbf |

Kari Lake challenges her defeat in Arizona governor’s race
PHOENIX (AP) — Kari Lake, the Republican defeated in Arizona governor’s race, is formally challenging her loss to Democrat Katie Hobbs, asking a court to throw out certified election results from the state’s most populous county and either declare her the winner or rerun the governor’s election in that county. The lawsuit filed late Friday by Lake centers on long lines and other difficulties that people experienced while voting on Election Day in Maricopa County. The challenge filed in Maricopa County Superior Court also alleges hundreds of thousands of ballots were illegally cast, but there’s no evidence that’s true. Lake has refused to acknowledge that she lost to Hobbs by more than 17,000 votes. https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-arizona-donald-trump-lawsuits-e8a36e1018f07b2804eba9ac8df0da1b |

Funny, given that some Republican guy from Arizona already announced pre-election that the go-to move would be to try and just declare the votes they didn't like as non-counting.

"The election is now 'certified' by Katie Hobbs & I have a strict timeline before I can file my lawsuits," he tweeted. "We are $85k short of what I need to pay for lawyers. Please chip in $5, $10, $15 or more right now to help me get lawyers on retainer." the grift is in |

NY Rep.-elect Santos investigated for lying about his past
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. Rep.-elect George Santos of New York was under investigation by Long Island prosecutors on Wednesday, after revelations surfaced that the now-embattled Republican lied about his heritage, education and professional pedigree as he campaigned for office. Despite intensifying doubt about his fitness to hold federal office, Santos has shown no signs of stepping aside — even as he publicly admitted to a long list of lies. Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly, a Republican, said the fabrications and inconsistencies were “nothing short of stunning.” “The residents of Nassau County and other parts of the third district must have an honest and accountable representative in Congress,” she said. “If a crime was committed in this county, we will prosecute it.” Santos’ campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday. https://apnews.com/article/Republican-George-Santos-Investigation-New-York-d783ca654dc08aba892f694ef2584af7?utm_source=homepage&utm_medium=TopNews&utm_campaign=position_02 |

Democrat wins Arizona attorney general race after recount
PHOENIX (AP) — A recount of votes has confirmed Democrat Kris Mayes narrowly defeated Republican Abraham Hamadeh in the Arizona attorney general’s race, one of the closest elections in state history. The highly anticipated results announced Thursday in Maricopa County Superior Court are among the last in the country to come out of November’s election and solidified another victory for Democrats who shunned election fraud conspiracies in what used to be a solidly Republican state. With Hamadeh’s defeat, Republicans running statewide in battleground states who spread former President Donald Trump’s false claim that the 2020 election was stolen have all lost their races. https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-politics-phoenix-arizona-09aee9ff24cd2af5777a6d7ae140782b |
