The mayor of Arlington Jim Ross is now on stage. He says he is an independent but Talarico can bring parties together. He says he’s excited to support a candidate like Talarico because he’s “tired of criminals running for office.”
Now it’s time to defeat Mike Rogers and send him back to Florida for good. We’re united and in a strong position. Chip in $10!

seriously they don't even have a picture of the guy
Cameron 🇺🇸🗽🦅@cameroncorduroy.bsky.social · 7h agovery funny side plot where a Trump-endorsed guy lost his primary to a candidate who dropped out of the race, probably because his name is "Amir Hassan"
I still cannot wrap my head around this. A primary electorate so racist and disengaged that they voted for the whitest name available over the Trump-endorsed guy with a name that suggested a person of color.

Michigan college towns, notoriously bourgeois.
Tim@lodgepolepines.bsky.social · 6h agoThis afternoon she is retweeting far right accounts
she's deployed this strategy again and again, only deviating where her vote was a deciding one, a la Kavanaugh
Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social · yesterdaySusan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
Powerful interests are fighting like hell to protect the status quo. They know my opponent will do their bidding, and I won’t.
Sen. Bernie Sanders calls Abdul El-Sayed's win "one of most extraordinary victories in modern American political history." "He withstood $70M of outside funding. He was outspent 9-to-1," he says. Plus establishment Dems in MI and DC opposed him. "Never heard" of a major candidate overcoming that.
Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.
Abdul El-Sayed has won, NBC News says. And there are other wins for the left in Michigan: —William Lawrence wins his U.S. House primary. —A DSA-backed candidate is leading a Democratic incumbent for state House. —Abbas Alawieh, co-founder of Uncommitted, leads for state Senate.
Thank you, Michigan. I love you from the bottom of my heart!

Be patient, folks. You'll see the numbers from the bigger counties and I believe they'll tilt El Sayed.
I hope @abdulelsayed.bsky.social team knows they need to make in roads with white high school educated voters that are a tad xenophobic
VoteHub@votehub.com · 24h agoThis may be Stevens’ strongest result yet. She is even winning the Election Day vote in Shiawassee by 12 points, helping narrow the race. Her better-than-expected performance across rural and small-town Michigan is adding up.
University of Michigan voters have a 100% El-Sayed precinct right now.

I have seen enough. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social wins. He’s winning areas by 20 points; Stevens winning areas by 3
I saw some thing where Dems wanted to expel Miller. Whatever for? He's great material leading up to the Ohio election!
One last call and response for the primary. You know the drill. 🗣️
we just need to do true centrism, I swear it’ll work this time.
Spectrum News NY1@spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social · 2d agoHouse Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told NY1’s Errol Louis that Democrats have to “own the center and win over centrist voters” in order to take control of Congress after November’s midterm elections.
