governor leaving a state with only half representation is a bit of a political gambit
this was my thought as well
reports are saying leahy is fine though
Heās an 80 year old in the hospital during COVID. Do we think heās fully vaccinated plus two weeks at this point?
Eh, if Leahy goes, it just accelerates the final GOP takeover by a few years.

As with all brushes with death, it makes you think about priorities, this Leahy thing makes me want them to go hard as fuck on covid relief through reconciliation asap.
Jesus fucking Christ how does Vermont have a demsoc guy not even get 30% against the Republican governor in 2020? Bern wasnāt available to campaign for the dude?
That would piss people off. I donāt see Scott doing this.
This is getting more and more likely. Heās really popular. He could easily be the GOPās answer to Joe Manchin.
Makes me wonder with Vermont and Mass having repub governors and California slurping Feinstein - if republicans ran āmoderateā types in all the Northeast and pacific states, how many repubs would be in the senate? Like 80?
MA sent Scott Brown to fill Ted Kennedyās seat.

Right wing derps are going to get all upset about how the left railed on Trump for treating the media like shit, and hereās Biden doing it. Even though it was clearly an off the cuff joke.
in that case, the transcript is out there he can go read it himself
he also said that to him when asked about his VP choice
theyāll get mad tho so it works, triggers them
Jesus fucking christ. Can we get the average age of Dem senators somewhere below deceased?

How about you phone it instead, say until your next election(lol)/retirement
It truly is incredible how the evil side wins at every step of the game. 600 powerful and deplorable Republicans get COVID-19, including centenarian Grassley and obese twice impeached President Trump, and they all survive (except lolCain but he had no power). Meanwhile the good side is filled with people who should have retired literally decades ago who die at the absolute worst times.

That Mitch tweet is very encouraging. He never does that if he isnāt scared.

Iām still unclear why Mitch folded on the organizing resolution. I thought their āLOL, make usā strategy was working fine for them.
