“The committee approved moving South Carolina’s primary to Feb. 3 and having Nevada and New Hampshire vote three days later. Georgia would go the following week and Michigan two weeks after that.” I don’t pretend to know how decisions are being made inside the Biden White House but it was quite remarkable that President Biden Read More

The results of the (first round) of the Georgia Senate election was basically Raphael Warnock 1, 943,737, Herschel Walker 1,907,272 and the libertarian candidate 81,278.

It is often said that the midterm elections (especially 2 years into the first term of a President) are essentially a referendum on that president.

With just 11 weeks left until the 2022 midterms (and it being 8 weeks since I first posted my opinion on this topic The Five Senate Seats Most Likely To Flip (in 2022) – Left Coast View) here is an update on the five Senate Seats most likely to flip in 2022. Number One: Pennsylvania Read More
