This has, literally folks, been the Biden plan for a year.
They “believe that Trump or any other Republican nominee will be reluctant to work with the Commission on Presidential Debates, lessening the chances, and risk, of a head-to-head debate.”
If ya don’t think somebody who’s skipping the super bowl pre game interview two years in a row - a massive free media opportunity - is looking to avoid any unforced errors you should pay closer attention
Among the Rs who want McConnell to cut a deal w Sinema: W. Mitt Romney
Even if she doesn’t caucus w Rs, Mitt said he wants Sinema back, is open to stump for her in Ariz
Consider: In the vote that counts for McConnell, leader, he’s more likely to be backed by Sinema than Lake
This glimpse at Sinema is why some of her colleagues like her (quick w a iine, in on the joke) and why some of them find her insufferable (full of self)
But it's who she is.
And is why so many eyes rolled when she became an indie & said she hadn't thought thru the implications
The attack on Paul Pelosi has left the speaker & president shaken, deepening their alarm about the country. And for Pelosi, who had been weighing the personal & the political, the attack effectively merged those two considerations, bringing her concerns home in the worst fashion
Pelosi was poised to step back if a red wave came ashore. And many House Democrats still believe that as long as they fall short of 218, she will relinquish her leadership post. But the rank-and-file are first to say: they're speculating.
Rick Scott was poised to ride the red wave to launch a long shot challenge against Mitch McConnell, had even recorded video to take on Trump’s bete noire
Then the wave didn’t crash, and there may be no majority >
But winning wasn’t the point. Scott wanted a foil.
But the aborted coup now may just mark the final rupture between Scott and McConnell, who go back to when Scott was a donor and hospital exec in Louisville in the 90s.
Didn’t get a ton of attention, between ya know a pending midterm and promising dirt on DeSantis, but Trump told Fox on Monday that Scott was “a likely candidate” for leader and “hates” McConnell.
