2024 Update
The chairwoman of the Biden reelection campaign suggested yesterday that they are giving up on Florida. She did, however, say that the Biden campaign will try to flip North Carolina.
Hundreds of thousands of people, including many from blue states, have moved to North Carolina in recent years. Donald Trump won the state by just 1.3%. If Joe Biden carries North Carolina, the path to victory for Donald Trump becomes very difficult.
In order for Donald Trump to win the White House, he must hold North Carolina. He must flip Arizona and Georgia. And then it comes down to Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin. If Trump wins just one of those states, he wins the election.
Of course, Joe Biden won seven of those eight states four years ago, and his campaign will aggressively fight for each one this year.
The biggest news to come out of yesterday’s primary results was the stunning defeat of Squad member Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY). The anti-Semitic, fire alarm-pulling congressman lost his primary 42% to 58% to Westchester County Executive George Latimer. Pro-Israel organizations spent at least $15 million to defeat Bowman.
Polling shows that another Squad member, Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), is also in trouble. Bush came to the public’s attention as one of the main protest leaders during the 2014 Ferguson riots, which were based on the completely false narrative of “Hands up, Don’t shoot.”
The Ferguson riots were also notable for their anti-Israel demonstrations. What does Israel have to do with Ferguson? Nothing. But it’s more evidence of how the so-called “progressive left” is motivated by raw anti-Semitism.
In other election news, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) will likely be returning to Congress next year. She won the GOP primary yesterday for the bright red seat vacated by Rep. Ken Buck.
