Fetterman takes the stage in Montgomery county to a packed gym of over 2750 people. Not including the 300 people who could not get in due to being at capacity.
This is amazing: President Biden invited the gay nephew of the Republican Congresswoman who cried over marriage equality to the White House to watch him sign marriage equality into law.
"The other, big, quiet, winner tonight is a president of the United States who becomes the first one since 1934 to not lose a single Senator of his own party in the first midterm election."

VP: Those same people are the ones who voted against the extension of the child-tax credit. The same ones who voted against a tax cut for families to pay for childcare. The same ones who are voting against paid-family leave.
🚨🚨 Sleepy August be damned:
@TheDemocrats
brought in $15.5 million last month—bringing us to $107.8 million this year, more money than any other midterm year and almost twice as much as was raised at this point in 2018.
Democrats are fired up for
@JoeBiden
and his agenda. 🧵
“Clearly those bragging about overturning Roe v. Wade have no clue about the power of women in America. But they found out when reproductive freedom was on the ballot and won in 2022, 2023, and they will find out again in 2024.” -
@JoeBiden
at the SOTU a few weeks back
In the Huntsville AL area, Democrats have flipped state House District 10 tonight. In 2022, Marilyn Lands (D) lost by about 7 points. This time, she won by almost 25%, sweeping nearly everything.
This was a stronger margin here than Doug Jones's 23-point spread from 2017.
ENERGY!!! It's the "And I'm the Vice President and my name is
#KamalaHarris
" for me...put some respect on it. Give it to em just like this every 👏🏾 damn 👏🏾 time 👏🏾 they try you Madam VP!
Hillary Clinton goes in on the GOP: ‘Republicans will claim they’re on the side of parents and family values, but they will do nothing for actual parents … nothing on child care, nothing on paid leave … they’ll ban books but do nothing about guns’
MAJOR VA PROJECTION: Juan Pablo Segura has lost the Election Day vote to Russet Perry in Loudoun County. We are projecting SD-31 and the Virginia State Senate for Democrats
Yesterday, I joined organizers and spoke directly to voters about what is at stake in the midterms.
With only 100 days to go, it’s going to take all of us phone banking and knocking on doors to elect Democrats and defend our rights.
I always admired that the “Pod Save guys” found a way to use the platform they built for good, sharing pieces of themselves to help strangers process the world and make it a better place. In a moment of unthinkable loss, Tommy and Hanna are doing it once again. I’m in awe. ❤️
Yesterday, Hanna & I lost our baby daughter. Tragically, cruelly, this was not our first miscarriage. Before, we suffered privately. This time, we want to share and honor our beautiful girl, and for others who’ve been through this to know you’re not alone.
Every generation has a moment where they have had to stand up for democracy. To stand up for their fundamental freedoms. I believe this is ours.
That’s why I’m running for reelection as President of the United States. Join us. Let’s finish the job.
Just a reminder, that in addition to Jimmy Kimmel, 14 of Laxalt's own family members endorsed his Democratic opponent and don't think he belongs in the Senate.
President Joe Biden was moved to tears during a stop at a Catholic shrine when he discovered that a chaplain working there had performed last rites on his late son Beau Biden.
Harry, I’ve struggled with a stutter all of my life. Thank you for telling me about yours, and don’t let anyone tell you it will stop you from achieving your dreams.
I’m proud of you.

Re: Trump calling Putin "savvy" and "genius" amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine: "I put as much stock in Trump saying that Putin's a genius as I do when he called himself a stable genius."
Facts:
1. Our President and party standard-bearer is 81 years old.
2. Our accomplishments, message, and ability to lead are popular AF.
3. When voters vote, they're bucking all historic precedent and prognostication and they Keep. Choosing. Democrats.
LFG.
What if - and just hear me out for a second - the Democratic brand *and* Joe Biden have policies people actually like? And the way people voted last night is a reflection of both those things?
After a midterm cycle that blew threw expectations, voters, volunteers, organizers, and the Democratic Party are right back at it, together:
✅ 12 point swing in NH special
✅ Janet Protasiewicz w/ big 1st round win in WI Sup Crt Race
✅ Jenn McClellan is Rep.-Elect in VA
Just in: Rep. Chuck Grassie (D-NH) has won in a massive victory, 56-44, after his race ended in an exact tie in November. This shrinks the GOP’s state house margin to just 201-198. Republicans had tried to steal the November election by ignoring the result.
Not tired of winning yet, and while another special in neighboring NY will get a lot of the attention, this is a big win too!
Hell yeah

If you don't think elections matter - all of them, not just the top of the ticket - Arizona AG Mayes was elected by 280 votes out of more than 2.5 million cast.
Now, let's go elect more Democrats and overturn this extreme ban.
RNC co-Chair Lara Trump insists she’s working really hard to reverse the Republican Party’s financial disaster: “I personally wrote an email this morning!”
Trump: They want to keep me here instead of campaigning in Iowa… They want me to be here

Reporter: Will you be back tomorrow?
Trump: Probably not. We’re having a very big professional golf tournament at Doral, so probably not
“Also PLEASE, I’m BEGGING you, buy my memoir. Please. Dear God. Im desperate for cash so I can spend 12 months knife fighting Mike Pence for 7th place and 2% in the primary. Also here’s a supportive quote from my friend Pike Mompeo about the book…”

10:12PM PROJECTION: Joshua Cole (D) defeats Lee Peters (R) in House District 65.
REPUBLICANS HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
DEMOCRATS ARE ONE SEAT FROM A MAJORITY
Current House: 44 GOP, 50 DEM, 6 UND
🚨This is phenomenal, not just for the President, VP, and their team, but for our entire party and country.
@JulieR2019
is whip smart, strategic, & a strong manager. She's earned every ounce of the immense respect she garners. Strong and getting stronger!
Counter narrative: despite narrow majorities; multiple, historic inherited crises; and a Republican Party focused more on Trump than the American people, Biden/Dems are grinding out generational progress on judges, jobs, the pandemic, diplomacy, etc. Soon: voting rights and BBB.
I remember when the GOP used to say that Trump's judicial picks were alone enough to prove his leadership.
He won confirmation of 19 judges in 2017.
Tonight, the Senate confirmed the 38th judge nominated by
@POTUS
in 2021.
Biden calling out Republicans who called the infrastructure bill socialism but still asked for money: I didn’t know there were that many socialist Republicans
Technically, the Biden campaign hasn’t weighed in on Trump’s criminal trial Monday— but this email ostensibly on abortion, with references to “Stormy” coverage, efforts to “hush” panic that won’t “payoff,” and claims the Trump campaign is “fast asleep” sure seems to come close.
I can GUARANTEE that anyone saying the VP isn't an absolute rockstar on the campaign and fundraising trail is outing themselves for: 1. Never having been to an event with her; and/or 2. Probably never having been invited!
Salty.
Proud to be a part of her and
@JoeBiden

Just devastating. My heart goes out to the LGBTQ+ community of Colorado Springs, and the millions of Americans that see who they are and who they love under attack. 🌈❤️
Fleischer: The Republican Party today just can't govern. Nancy Pelosi with a five vote majority, she was able to govern. The Democrats have become the party of discipline and the Republicans have become the party that lacks discipline.
Grateful for

Tom Keen is your HD35 Special Election Winner!
Orange just dropped their election day vote and NPA's leaned LEFT. Not enough ED votes in Osceola to overcome the lead for Tom in Orange ... WOW.
Even with Republicans getting a nearly 1,000 raw vote lead, it was not enough.…
Last year, a young man named Harry wrote me a letter about what it’s like to live with a stutter. Tonight, I met him and his family in Milwaukee and shared some techniques I use to overcome mine.
My message to Harry was simple: don’t let anyone tell you what you can or can’t do.
