This is how a flawed congressional candidate, like @AbdulElSayed, announces in writing that he has zero credibility, morality, or high ground. This is a truly shocking tweet. Michigan, get this right and vote for @HaleyforMI.

Credible allegations of sexual assault cannot be ignored. Voters in Maine deserve a choice for US Senate that doesn’t force them to make a moral compromise between sexual violence or corporate servitude.

@brianros1 She lost the race in part because she's *not* a good communicator. She said very stupid things basically any time a question made her nervous - we can't have M4A because Republicans might be in charge of it one day, we should discuss giving Hamas an iron dome, etc.

FWIW, I’d have preferred the party coalesce around her because she’s such a good communicator. But I get it- the hierarchy of recruiting goes Congress over state legislator.

Today, I'm announcing that I am suspending my campaign for United States Senate. And I'm doing it with a deep, deep sense of gratitude. For our thousands of volunteers, for everyone who donated what you could — building a campaign with zero corporate PAC dollars. For my staff, who built this team up from nothing. I thank you. For my family. For Ray, who believed in me long before I ever believed in myself. And for Noa. Our five-year-old, who presses her hands up against the window to wave goodbye every morning when I leave for work. "Remember, Mom," she reminded me recently. "It's not about if you win. It's about trying hard and having fun." She's right. So I want to be very clear about what this announcement is not. I may be suspending this campaign, but I am not leaving the fight. I never planned on politics. After the 2016 election, I felt lost. I picked up my phone and typed five words into the search bar: "How to run for office." And here's what I learned: when regular people get in the fight, things can change. In my very first election, we flipped a district against the incumbent. Four years later — with so many of you — we flipped the Michigan Senate for the first time in nearly forty years. And we didn’t stop at winning. We repealed Michigan's abortion ban. We raised wages. We made sure every child gets breakfast and lunch at school. We made it easier to go to college. We expanded civil rights and voting rights. And so, so much more. These wins took thousands of us — showing up every single day, refusing to give up when there were setbacks. That's why I'm staying in this fight. And why I need you to stay in it with me. Now, I haven’t been shy about calling for new leadership and a better Democratic Party. I mean it. The energy is there. People are crying out for change. And we owe it to them to listen. Then we need to build it up, together, from the ground up. So here's what we do next. Every day through November 3rd. We win this Senate seat and send Mike Rogers back to Florida for good. Whoever wins this primary on August 4th will have my full support. Then, let’s elect Jocelyn Benson as our next Governor. Let’s flip the State House, and expand our majority in the State Senate. Let’s elect Democrats up and down the ticket and show the rest of this country what it means to fight like Michigan. Ten years ago, I started this work heartbroken, typing five words into a search bar. And I learned the only thing that has ever really changed this country: ordinary people who love something enough to fight for it. I love this country. I love Michigan. And I love the little girl who waves at me from the window every morning, trusting the grown-ups to leave her a state and a country worth inheriting. That's who I'm fighting for. And I'm not going anywhere. I hope you'll join me.

Can't say the "centrists just care about getting stuff done" argument does much for me as we watch Gov. Spanberger, VA's poster child of centrism, veto bill after bill sent to her from her Democratic state legislature. Centrists aren't special non-ideological unicorns.

Gov. Shapiro: Democrats need to focus on "getting stuff done for people and shying away from this performative politics that just makes noise but doesn't make anybody's life better."

yeah sorry but the whole problematic age gap thing doesn't really resonate when discussing two people over the age of 30.

wtf is happening. "conserve energy during heat waves to prevent blackouts" is incredibly common advice that is wholly non-political. These people think you're idiots.

@kenklippenstein There's a concerning amount of people who think Congress should have term limits while simultaneously casting their 17th vote for their 80-something year old representative.

@daveweigel Donavan is winning by at least 12%. This is way more of a layup than CO-01 for multiple reasons.

McKinney may actually be the best positioned of any DSA challenger. Thanedar won his seat when a glut of weak candidates split the vote; then in 2024, he and allies had to spend to hold off other weak candidates who spent no money. McKinney’s the strongest challenger he’s had

My predictions this cycle (receipts in replies): Rabb: -result ✅ -margin ✅ Chevalier: -result ✅ -margin ✅ (1% off, but I think finally tally will get her there) Kiros: -result ✅ -margin ✅ (made no other predictions) Next: Donavan McKinney by 14-17% El-Sayed by 4-7%
Thomas@Thomas_Rhomas_

When will Twitter respect me as a ball knower? I got the result and margins right on Chevalier while others spent three more weeks researching only to ultimately predict her losing by 1-4%. My next prediction is that @MelatKirosCO wins by 8-11%.
