TODAY WE LEARNED

1⃣ The GOP, led by McConnell, will support Trump if he’s its 2024 nominee—as all polls say GOP voters will make him.
2⃣ If the GOP has the Senate, it won’t hold hearings on any Democratic SCOTUS nom.
3⃣ 2022 isn’t a midterm—it equates to a presidential election.

IOW, the question of whether the GOP does or doesn’t hold Congress is the question of whether we have a democratic government. Anyone who thinks the 2022 election is a midterm is wildly off the mark: it’s the determination of the future of this nation and its democracy—full stop.

Put yet another way, the GOP just announced that (a) it’ll back sedition if its voters do and (b) we don’t have a government—as to our judicial branch, at a minimum—during any period the GOP holds the legislative branch.

This means *all* midterms are presidential elections, now.

I strongly urge every Democratic voter to tell your friends and family that the 2022 election is functionally a presidential election.

There can be absolutely no misunderstanding on this among Democrats; if you think what is coming in November is a “midterm,” STOP thinking that.
