If current results hold…
- Now that Warnock and Ossoff have won, will the GOP majority get rid of runoffs?
- Daniel Blackman, you did your absolute best to elevate the PSC to Democrats’ attention, and I really need you to stay in this fight as the DPG’s go-to organizer for future PSC races. You did an amazing job, and you’ve set the template for the PSC District 2 race next year. But please ask for a recount.
- We now live in the era of mixed statewide results, but we’ve shown that Democrats can win a majority statewide, and not just a plurality like Biden won in November. No looking back.
- I want Doug Jones for Attorney-General. Confirmation hearings for Biden’s cabinet this year should be fun to watch.
- I’m wondering if the VP-elect plans to have an office in the Senate because she’ll be tiebreaking a LOT
- Schumer becomes majority leader and the highest-ranking Jewish American in history, but Joe Manchin succeeds Robert Byrd to become the most powerful person in the Senate and secure West Virginia’s role in American politics once again.
- Warnock becomes the second Black Senator from the ex-Confederate South, 11th nationally, and one of three in the new Senate alongside Tim Scott of SC and Cory Booker of New Jersey (not including VP Harris). Ossoff becomes one of the youngest Senators and Han Solo cosplayers in U.S. history. He also becomes the fourth Jewish senator from the South, the first Southern Jewish Senator since Benjamin Jonas of Louisiana (served 1879-1885), and the first Jewish member of Congress from the non-Florida Deep South since Ben Erdreich of Alabama (served 1983-1993).
- Get used to this: Chairman Sanders (Budget Committee).
- The dam on those 500 bills will now break.
- $2000 checks y’all!
- I pay great tribute to the work of Laura Ratcliff Walker and Tonza Sheree Thomas for leading our Muscogee County Democratic Committee to overperforming in Muscogee County, and to Linda Parker for fighting for us on the Muscogee County Board of Elections against Alton Russell’s attempt to screw newly-registered voters. You are the MVPs here in Columbus.
- EDIT: Thanks to the county committees and candidates who commissioned me for websites this past year. Thanks to Cliff Albright and Black Voters Matter for hiring me earlier last year, and thanks to Jeremiah Chapman and Woke Vote for hiring me for the runoff. I began and ended this election season working for Black voter turnout, and that’s huge for me.
