20% tabulation errors in Maricopa County is a hiccup apparently.
But it’s curious no one calls out claims of Jim Crow 2.0. In fact, Democrats will abandon that and the media will allow them to. https://t.co/4krH1VmX4N

One lesson I’ve learned tonight is I doubt Republicans will not rock with Trump in 2024. If they do, the message is clear, they will get crushed.

“There are heartbreaking stories in every room. Someone came up to me to share a heartbreaking story about their family and the fentanyl crisis,” Smiley said on the Dori Monson Show. “One mother came up and said that she lost both of her sons this summer. One was homeless and was murdered and there were still no answers. The other one overdosed on drugs, and she’s like, please fight, please help us.”

Says a lot of about President Biden. Usually the current President’s party gets crushed during midterms. Blue is doing ok so far. There’s some surprises for sure. #Midterms

“Honestly, the first time I heard about Tiffany Smiley’s campaign, I just had a feeling that this is a remarkable woman, and a part of a remarkable family,” former Vice President Mike Pence said on the Jason Rantz Show. “When I was vice president and was moved by his service to the country in uniform by his historic status in the history of our military, I just had a sense that she had the quality, she had the integrity, [and] she had the values that we’re going to break through. And we’re seeing that all over Washington state.”

The reason is simple: I’ve spent the last 18 months talking to voters in all 39 counties & I’m talking about the issues that matter to them.

Patty Murray is the only choice for US Senate this November. MAGA Republican Tiffany Smiley is anti-choice and supported a national abortion ban before she launched her campaign — say no to Tiffany, send in your ballot for Patty.
