NEW: @JakeAuch, a US Marine veteran and current Newton City Councilor, has narrowly won the crowded Democratic primary to replace @joekennedy in #MA04, @DecisionDeskHQ projects, narrowly defeating former Brookline select board member @jessemermell businessinsider.com/massachusetts-… Image
Auchincloss is all-but-assured to go on to win the general election in this safely Democratic district, which voted for Hillary Clinton by over 24 points in 2016, against GOP nominee Julie Hall. #MA04 includes some suburbs around Boston & stretches down to the South Coast region
Auchincloss performed particularly well in the South Coast region. He was backed by VoteVets, the With Honor Fund, a slew of local elected officials and groups including the mayors of New Bedford and Fall River, and secured the endorsement of the Boston Globe editorial board
Auchincloss' personal and political profile is quite similar to that of #MA06 Rep. Seth Moulton: both are Harvard grads and US Marine veterans. Both also cite their experience in the military as why they oppose endless wars and support more restrictions on assault weapons

New memo from Biden campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon: “It’s a familiar story: Following Thursday night’s debate, the beltway class is counting Joe Biden out. The data in the battleground states, though, tells a different story.” Image
O’Malley Dillon, cont’d: “On every metric that matters, data shows it did nothing to change the American people’s perception, our supporters are more fired up than ever, and Donald Trump only reminded voters of why they fired him four years ago.”
“If we do see changes in polling in the coming weeks, it will not be the first time that overblown media narratives have driven temporary dips in the polls. In 2012, we saw media coverage of [Obama's] first debate performance drive a large, but temporary, drop in his polling” Image

NEW: I spent the day talking to Democratic voters + volunteers at Biden's rally in Raleigh, NC
Their reactions to the debate couldn't be more different than the ongoing panic from some top Dems + pundits — some actually thought Biden did well
Our story:
19thnews.org/2024/06/biden-…
Janice Lynn, a voter from Raleigh, said she supports Biden president because she believes he is an “honorable man”
“Even if he does have age going against him, it’s not the end of the world,” she said of the debate. “He had some good moments.”
19thnews.org/2024/06/biden-…
“My reaction is different than everybody’s else’s,” said a voter from Willow Spring, NC. “I thought Joe did fine. I think he tried to answer the questions, address the issues and to relay his policy ideas … and he was derailed by his opponent.”

BREAKING: Democrat @marilynforAL has defeated Republican Teddy Powell, who just conceded in the special election for Alabama House District 10, a Huntsville-area swing district, by what looks like will be a pretty big margin (district was Trump +1, Doug Jones +5 in 2020) Image
@MarilynForAL Lands campaign says Alabama women "sent a clear message that will be heard in Montgomery and across the nation.
"Our legislature must repeal Alabama’s no-exceptions abortion ban, fully restore access to IVF, and protect the right to contraception."

@MarilynForAL Some quotes from Lands voters I spoke to last week....
“I’ve seen your ads, and you looked so sincere,” a 61 year old first-time voter told her. “And I just agree.”
“I hate what’s going on,” another said of GOP led abortion bans. “I really hate it.”

News: Over 60 House Dems, led by @DemWomenCaucus, are pressing top pharma distributor AmerisourceBergen for answers on reports the company won't distribute Mifeprex, the brand name for abortion drug mifepristone, to pharmacies in up to 31 states 19thnews.org/2023/05/aborti…
@DemWomenCaucus .@rmc031 reported in March that AmerisourceBergen, the sole distributor of Mifeprex in the US, had told corporate clients it wouldn't distribute the drug to pharmacies in 31 states — the company has not confirmed the reports or said what those states are 19thnews.org/2023/05/aborti…
@DemWomenCaucus @rmc031 “This one company could be a determining factor in whether women can access medication abortion, so our ask here is simple: lawmakers want to see their list of states where they do not plan to supply this medication to pharmacies," said @RepLoisFrankel 19thnews.org/2023/05/aborti…

New: I talked to first-term Michigan Democrat @RepScholten about how she wants Democrats to reclaim faith, freedom and "compassionate conservatism" going into 2024
“Our biggest mistake has been completely giving up that lane of faith,” she said. 19thnews.org/2023/05/hillar…
@RepScholten Scholten thinks her 13-point victory over a Trump-aligned candidate in November could be a blueprint:
"You don’t win by that margin just because people are rejecting something on the other side. We built something that attracted people to our message" 19thnews.org/2023/05/hillar…
@RepScholten "When I go to the prayer breakfast, it’s basically me, Lucy McBath and Ted Lieu who are the only ones there on the Democratic side. We just need to be engaging more on this issue — faith and freedom are so inextricably linked.”
