Joe Manchin isn’t the kind of Democrat progressives want. He is the kind that can win a US Senate seat in West Virginia. And without his seat, Dems wouldn’t have the majority & any of the powers that go with it.

A thing my mom did to get me into college was write a check for $35 to pay for the application fee at the local state university. To put in #AuntBecky in perspective: Even having the money for an app fee is an economic privilege not available to many students.

My quick take: 1. Yes, absolutely, Hogan has a *significant* uphill battle to win a US Senate seat in Maryland. 2. I’d still avoid an outright, immediate dismissal of a two-term governor who maintained a consistent mid-60’s/low-70’s approval rating for 8 years.
