So, about the battle for the 203-member PA state House: In order to get elected speaker, you need 102 votes. Not just a majority of those present—102 votes, minimum. And there are some real potential hurdles for Dems
Right now, as @Taniel notes, it's 101 D, 100 G, with two seats up in the air. Dems only need to win one, but they'd *really* like to win two. Sadly, just a month before e-day, Dem Rep. Anthony DeLuca died of cancer, though he won re-election in a landslide theguardian.com/us-news/2022/n…

I'm waiting for some fuller county results in Kentucky - watching the abortion measure - but in the meantime, here's a song from Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Charles Booker.
Miami-Dade is getting the ink, but majority-Hispanic Osceola County (central Florida) is another huge DeSantis breakthrough.

2018: DeSantis 39%
2020: Trump 43%
2022: DeSantis 53%

AIPAC has dropped over $1M in less than 48 hours against @SummerForPA, the Democratic nominee in #PA12.

Yet not a single Democratic Party leader has condemned AIPACs most recent spending for her GOP opponent, despite claiming to fight for a Dem majority.
This is a dangerous precedent for Dem leadership to not weigh in publicly on.

AIPAC is trying to set an example with Summer— if you dare speak out about Palestinian human rights + are young, progressive, and Black you will be crushed. Unless Democratic Party leadership steps in.
AIPAC spent $4mil+ against Summer in the primary, making a mockery of how a fair democratic system should function by jamming the airwaves with disinfo about Summer and Dem leaders barely spoke up about it, paving the way for AIPAC to do as they please. theintercept.com/2022/05/16/pen…

Every state has critical races on the ballot — & some are facing a perfect storm where so much is on the line at once.

So I'm starting this ongoing thread of all states, to encapsulate as many stakes as I can for a state within 280 characters. As I did in 2020. Let’s go! 🧵
1️⃣ I have to start with Michigan

—Ballot measure to overturn abortion ban
—Another to protect elections system
—Supreme court may flip
—Election denier up for SoS
—Governorship, AG, trifecta all at stake
—Can Dems flip state Sen. for 1st time in decades?
—Central for U.S. House
2️⃣ Arizona:

—May decide U.S. Senate
—Key House races
—Election deniers up for Gov, AG, SoS
—Measures to weaken ballot initiatives, tighten voter ID
—Measure on tuition for immigrants
—Prosecutor of nation's 4th biggest county
—PSC flips?
—Horne's comeback?
—🎇for school boards

Allowing Republicans to steer the conversation around crime with their repeatedly debunked racist narratives will continue to be the bane of the Democratic Party and democracy until we address it head on through both policy & rhetoric.

Republicans don't care about public safety.
What Republicans do care about is enriching themselves — so they will use crime as a way to divide us, make enemies of us, while they erode our democracy to give power to the corporate donors lining their pockets.

It's why the GOP plan provides no solutions - just more prisons.
But more prisons doesn't reduce crime and they know it.

We know what keeps us safe: living in communities where people of every color and background have fair wages, great schools, housing, & affordable healthcare.

Ending poverty is our public safety emergency.

There's the spending boom I was waiting for...the NRCC drops $19.27 million on 31 House races, pulling ahead of its 2020 pace and adding the Biden +20% #PA12 to the board as targeted seat #64, backing Mike Doyle for retiring 14-term Dem Mike Doyle's seat.

Voter confusion in #PA12, where a Republican named “Mike Doyle” is trying to succeed a Democrat named “Mike Doyle,” sounds ridiculous and is also very real. wesa.fm/politics-gover…
Funniest part of this is that Doyle re-announced his retirement just to get local news coverage that he was not the “Mike Doyle” running as a Republican this year.
Lee is extremely likely to win - she survived the DMFI/AIPAC ad barrage bc she’s a good candidate with great field - so this probably becomes a weird footnote in her bio.

But if she was sleepwalking and taking the race for granted…

In the #PA12 democratic primary, @SummerForPA overcame $3 million in Israel lobby donations for her challenger, @SteveIrwinPA, winning by a razor-thin 400 votes. Here's how she did it. 🧵
Lee performed strongest in the [1] city of Pittsburgh, where she was endorsed by progressive Mayor Ed Gainey, and [2] the minority-heavy industrial towns of the Mon Valley, including her hometown of Braddock, Swissvale, and McKeesport.
Irwin did best in suburbs across the district, including both [3] Conor Lamb's turf along the southwest belt of Allegheny County such as Bethel Park, and [4] John Fetterman's turf in the suburbs of western Westmoreland County.

#PASen is extremely unlikely to resolve tonight. Let's do a thread on the races you may have missed in the meantime!
#NC1: Sandy Smith (R) vs. Don Davis (D); D's get preferred matchup in D+3, R-trending seat.
#NC4: Valerie Foushee (D) wins Safe D open seat
#NC13: 26-year-old Bo Hines (R) and Wiley Nickel (D) advance in R+1 seat
#PA6: Guy Ciarrocchi (R) gives GOP best shot in D+5, ancestral R seat
#PA7: Lisa Scheller (R) barely leads in R+2 seat
#PA12: Summer Lee (D) barely leads in open D+8 seat
#KY03: Morgan McGarvey (D) wins open Safe D seat
#IDGov: Brad Little (R) romps over Trump-endorsed primary foe
#ID02: Simpson (R) easily survives challenge
#ORGov: Tina Kotek (D) and Christine Drazen (R) advance; R's get preferred matchup in 3-way general with Betsy Johnson (I)

The 2022 midterm elections will shape the future of our democracy—and touch the lives of families across the country. Today, I’m endorsing three more terrific Democratic U.S. House candidates who are ready to make the big change we need:
As a state legislator, @DeliaCRamirez has been a champion for working families—fighting to raise the minimum wage, expanding health care, and securing millions of dollars for affordable housing. I’m proud to endorse her for Congress in #IL03 so she can keep up the fight. Photo of Delia Ramirez. Text that says "Elizabeth Warre
I’ve worked with @DavidSegalRI on plans to level the economic playing field, support a responsible foreign policy, and build a government that Americans can trust to work for them. I’m happy to endorse him for Congress in #RI02 because he’s ready to make change happen. Photo of David Segal. Text that says "Elizabeth Warren

I know we’re supposed to be excited about the #Infrastructure agreement in the Senate, but I can’t help but think the #GOP succeeded in delaying and slicing it down to the bone.

Welcome to the Pennsylvania member of Congress Tracking Report for the week ending March 22, 2020. We are doing things a bit differently this week. All of our content centers on the #COVID19 #coronavirus pandemic.
#MoCTrack 1/28
demcastusa.com/2020/03/22/pen…
First up, we have a recap of HR 6201, the #FamiliesFirst bill that was passed on Wednesday by the Senate and signed into law.
#MoCTrack 2/28
npr.org/2020/03/19/818…
If you have a chance, check out the #MoCTrack recap of the #FamiliesFirst action in the Senate. There were three attempts to amend the bill (1 good, 2 awful), and it is worth seeing ow our lawmakers voted on those efforts.
