Pelosi sent a ltr to Dem Caucus yesterday telling them to focus on flipping House STATE delegations in case neither Trump nor Biden win the EC majority
BC the election then goes to the winner of the majority of House delegations
#TrumpTaxes
The letter:
crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF…
2-"[Trump] was suggesting that if GOP leaders can hold up the final election results so that Joe Biden doesn’t get 270 electoral votes certified, the 12th Amendment would require the House to decide the presidential contest. But instead of giving every Member of Congress a vote,
3-"the 12th Amendment gives each state one vote, which is determined by a vote of the state’s delegation. In other words, how many state delegations the Democrats win in this upcoming election could determine who our next President is.
4-"The Constitution says that a candidate must receive a majority of the state delegations to win. We must achieve that majority of delegations or keep the Republicans from doing so. Because we cannot leave anything to chance,
5-"House Majority PAC is doing everything it can to win more delegations for Democrats. It’s sad we have to have to plan this way, but it’s what we must do to ensure the election is not stolen
6-"That’s why it’s so important that we support House Majority PAC right now. We have outstanding candidates in these key districts and they have built strong campaigns, but we must forcefully ensure they win.
7-"Simply put, this strategy to protect our democracy and elect Joe Biden will take an all out effort and resources. Many of you have already been patriotically generous supporting House Democrats and the Biden-Harris ticket.
8-"I’m asking you to help with this delegation strategy as well. Thank you for your generosity, your support, and your consideration.”

Now that Kevin McCarthy has said he'll push the contested House committee leadership elections until after the Speakers vote on 1/3

Here, from Politico, is a little bit of what the (serious) fallout will be for the 118th Congress: 👇
“days, if not weeks, of uncertainty for GOP committees as they begin their stint in the majority. Some of the most important panels, including those charged with tax-writing and border security, won’t be able to prepare bills, tee up hearings, or even hire staff. 👇
"While some House committees already have uncontested leaders in place, those chairs won’t be able to choose their member lineup or potentially pay staff. The GOP’s subpoena power, too, will be frozen.”
Kevin McCarthy will not be one of the great Speakers of our (or any) time 👇

And Dems have a new House Minority Leader!
Hakeem Jeffries
Last night he said:
"Leadership is incredibly important. When we get an opportunity as diverse leaders to serve in positions of consequence, the most meaningful thing we can do in that space is do an incredibly good job."
Hakeem Jeffries on the House GOP:
"Moving forward, it’s my hope that House Democrats can find common ground with Republicans to get things done that would make life better for everyday Americans whenever possible. We are also prepared to oppose their extremism when we must.."
Hakeem Jeffries on Trumpism:
"We're still working through the implications of Trumpism, and what it has meant as a very destabilizing work for American democracy... In my view, hopefully House Republicans will govern in a way where we may be able to agree to disagree on issues

Manchin & Schumer made a 'deal' to include a "permitting" bill in the CR when Manchin helped pass the IRA
So far Manchin hasn't released the text
Hearing today that he won't do so until after the CR plan is made public next wk
Says he needs 20 GOP to counter Dem opposition
👇
Also hearing Manchin is pressuring the GOP WV Senator Shelley Moore-Capito to whip GOP support on it
But no one understands Manchin's bill
Not even Moore-Capito
Her remarks 👇
“Now the onus is on me to provide support for something I had no hand in and still don’t know what it is? What if I [said]‘Hey, you know, support this, it’s really good.’ Well, they go ‘What is it?’ And I go, ‘Well, I don’t know. Trust me.’ ..you just can’t operate like that.”

How badly does Rick Scott want to be SML?
Guess we'll see
Per @PunchbowlNews
Now that the NRSC (which Scott chairs) coffers are dry
GOP Senate want him to cough up a portion of the $1.4M in his own reelect fund
(Senate-2025, but the pres run in 24..)
He's dodging
This is fun!
.@PunchbowlNews :
"Key GOP senators are now willing to say it publicly. If Scott wants to revive Republican prospects in 2022, he can do what he always does to win — use his personal fortune to close the yawning cash gap between the GOP and Senate Democrats
👇
"'Interesting idea,' Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told us Wednesday, when asked if Scott should cut a check to benefit the NRSC.

Biden gave 2 more spectacular, high energy speeches yesterday
During the Milwaukee speech I kept thinking about how Trump kept saying Biden was "hiding in his basement" bc he was "sleepy"
Trump should be grateful Biden wasn't out there
And I'm grateful he is now
He's GOOD AT IT!
PA: “[D]emocracy is really at stake. You can’t be a democracy when you support violence when you don’t like the outcome of an election. You can’t call yourself a democracy when you don’t, in fact, count the votes that people legitimately cast. …
"And so, folks, look, we have a choice. Trump and the MAGA Republicans made their choice. We can choose to build a better America, or we can continue down this sliding path of oblivion to where we don’t want to go.”

Why Trump will almost certainly declare his 2024 candidacy on 11/9:
🧵
Per Bloomberg sources 'familiar":
DOJ “likely to wait until after [11/8] to announce any charges against Trump"
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
“Under long-standing department policy, prosecutors are barred from taking investigative steps or filing charges for the purpose of affecting an election or helping a candidate or party, traditionally 60 days before an election. This year, that would be by Sept. 10.”
BUT: "To be sure, the department has ignored that policy in recent years with moves interpreted as political interference. Most notable was when former FBI Dir James Comey revealed that the FBI was reopening a probe into Democrat Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server j
