Jason Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Quote While virtually nobody paid attention to the race, unheralded and underfunded Democrat Michael Kripchak was losing by less than 10 points in a district that Biden lost in 2020 by 29 points. For a time Tuesday night, it appeared as though it could have been even closer. Democrats have over-performed in special elections throughout the 2023-2024 election cycle, but this was one of the biggest swings to date. Quote State Sen. Michael Rulli (R), now representative-elect, outspent Kripchak, a former research physicist in the military who most recently worked as a waiter, $571,000 to about $7,000 as of May 22, according to campaign finance reports. Outside groups including the national parties basically ignored the district because it had been uncompetitive in recent presidential elections. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/06/12/ohio-special-election-rulli-kripchak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricofoley Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Basically every piece of information rights now points to the most enthusiastic voters absolutely hating the Republican party right now, and what it's going to come to is whether the presidental polls--which are the only things going against this trend--are systemically wrong, or whether Biden really is uniquely weak compared to the rest of the party. And the other possibility is that the polls numbers are accurate now, but Trump shows up at the debate in a couple of weeks and acts a hundred times more out to lunch than Biden and it completely kneecaps the attacks on Biden's age. Of course, Biden could also come out for the debate and immediately trip and fall, at which point we might be fucked. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5timechamp Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 What happens if theyre both equally bad.. what if theyre both worse than what we think they are.. we can cringe together as a Nation. then the declining health of Biden will really be used as a reason to prevent his VP from taking over.. folks hate the prospect of president Kamala..

These bitches keep lighting sparks hoping to strike gas. Leaders across the world have been planning since the first Trump tour. Don't bet the civil service to help you, you're going to need your own way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
