Really?? There’s a Republican with the name “Barack Obama Mandela”??? He was born in 1971. What are the odds that is his true birth name?
With almost no shot at turning a Red seat.It's because there are 23 current D/I seats up vs only 11 R seats.
Did you get that map from the wiki page?Why? Not arguing, just not seeing an “almost assured“ outcome on this map.
He also was in the IDF, according to his profile at The Times of Israel, where he is a blogger, apparently.Barack Obama Mandela - Ballotpedia
From his responses to Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection:
"I am a California attorney. I graduated from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law. I served honorably in the United States Army. I earned the National Defense Service Medal from the Pentagon. I am pro-business, pro-freedom, pro-technology, and anti-crime."
"I will strengthen California's economy. I will reduce crime in California. I will solve the homelessness problem."
"I strongly support the high-tech sector in Silicon Valley. I will invest in California's economy and create thousands of jobs. I will build houses, condos, and apartments for homeless and unhoused people. I will reduce crime and support safe communities. I am pro-business and pro-growth and pro-family."
Montana, Nevada, West Virginia are the vulnerable ones. Montana seems safe-ish because Tester is very popular. Manchin is a canary in the coal mine that somehow managed to survive the asphyxiation that killed all the miners, but is about to drop. Nevada is going to be interesting, as that is a very tight state. There is a trumpy candidate that likely can't win the general election, and a "mainstream" or alt-right candidate that is normal enough that can probably the margin of victory to 100 votes. So, do the GOP primary voters screw it up again?Did you get that map from the wiki page?Why? Not arguing, just not seeing an “almost assured“ outcome on this map.
If you go there, you will see that Ds defend 20 (+3) seats to Rs 11.
Furthermore, Ds defend some seats in R-leaning states. Like Manchin (WV is R+22 on the Cook Index) and Tester (Montana is R+11).
They also defend Michigan (Cook PVI is R+1, but not sure if that still holds) and Stabenow is retiring, so there is no incumbent bonus.
The three-way race in Arizona (R+2) could make that state spicy. Wisconsin (R+2), Pennsylvania (R+2) and Nevada (R+1) are other close states Dems are defending, albeit with incumbent advantage.
Rs are not defending any seats in such states. Closest is Florida (R+3).
Interesting as in a Constitutional Crisis? We don't want that. Well, at least patriotic Americans wouldn't.Which should make any SCOTUS vacancies in the next presidential term very interesting should Biden win reelection.
Is this another George Santos situation or were Mandela’s parents so enamored with 10 year old Barack Hussein Obama’s that they decided to name their son after him?He also was in the IDF, according to his profile at The Times of Israel, where he is a blogger, apparently.Barack Obama Mandela - Ballotpedia

McConnell appears to have a medical incident.

Mitch has that look on his face that happens occasionally to a guest on a talk show who can’t carry on a conversation while someone is speaking into their earpiece.
I think there was another voice speaking only to Mitch that caused him to freeze and listen to. A voice that frightened him. Perhaps a voice telling him “It’s time Mitch. Judgement day is upon you”.
Someone mentioned he had the exact look on his face that his mother had when she was experiencing TIAs (mini strokes).Before being ushered off, he does state something short indicating he is aware, at least on some level. No idea what happened. A minor seizure, he was being fed the speech and the connection was lost (memories of George W. Bush and his pause during the presidential debate that led to some interesting hypotheses), brain hiccup?
And the same look after my mother got a concussion. Neurology is a little overcomplicated to diagnose via a quick video.Someone mentioned he had the exact look on his face that his mother had when she was experiencing TIAs (mini strokes).Before being ushered off, he does state something short indicating he is aware, at least on some level.

Yup. A lot of talk about a full stroke going on with Mitch but I'm not seeing that.And the same look after my mother got a concussion.
