Murphy: "What if 2024 comes down to just one state? It’s a lot easier to steal just one state…what if these same people who support the Texas lawsuit decide there’s no way they won our state so let’s just throw out the result and choose a Republican?"

“Ordinarily, the U.S. Supreme Court would stay out of election disputes, especially concerning state law. But these are not ordinary times,” Cruz, a member of Bush’s legal team in 2000, says in the statement
The PA Supreme Court ruled unanimously against the GOP lawsuit, saying it would disenfranchise nearly *7 million* voters.

Bipartisan COVID bill framework from the Talking Stick Gang (Manchin, Collins, Romney, Warner, Murkowski, Cassidy) being unveiled this morning:
This is roughly the same price tag as the $1T bill McConnell rolled out in July that his members tore apart. Unlike that bill, however, it doesn’t include another round of stimulus checks. But it does offer slightly higher weekly unemployment benefit — $300.
Romney says half the money in the new bipartisan COVID bill is repurposed from unspent funds from CARES Act. Only $380B in new spending
