won by an old country kilometer




Quote:

..........   Democratic firefighter Chedrick Greene defeated GOP lawyer Jason Tunney for a seat to determine whether Democrats would retain control of the state Senate. With an estimated 93% of votes in, Greene led Tunney by 19 points. Michigan was one of the hardest-fought states in the presidential election and remains a top battleground in the midterms, home to competitive Senate and governor’s races. Former Vice President Kamala Harris carried the state Senate district by less than 1 percentage point in 2024.         ........

Michigan Democrats on Tuesday won a special election for a state Senate seat in another party over-performance after the district was almost evenly divided in the last presidential election.

Not just the base: Democrats in recent elections are flipping independent and Republican votes

Americans are sick of the rapist, war criminal and convicted felon in the White House,

Here’s hoping the Dems keep continuing with these results so they regain control of Congress in November and can make Trump a lame duck President.

If there's a free and fair election, which I have my doubts.

It's a foregone conclusion that Trump will do everything he can to rig the election in his favour, and for those that he loses, he'll sue in Court and claimed it was rigged against him. I just hope the American people wake up and vote against Republicans before it's too late - if it isn't already.

It might be too late.

Trump’s latest missive came on Sunday, after the Supreme Court ruled last week that Louisiana’s congressional map is an unconstitutional gerrymander and further chipped away at the Voting Rights Act, potentially allowing Republicans to redraw maps in the South a lot more favorably for them. That could tilt the US House map toward the GOP for years to come.

Trump urged his side to act post-haste.

He called on states — even those that have already begun voting — to quickly change their maps for the 2026 election to supposedly comply with the Supreme Court ruling.

“That is more important than administrative convenience,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The byproduct is that the Republicans will receive more than 20 House Seats in the upcoming Midterms!”
