2025 & 2026 Elections | Adams drops out in NYC

[mpaer]

Yea
But being VP didn't suck

Haven't read through the last few pages to see if addressed, but here in Texas, the GOP this morning released a redistricting plan [at the behest of the felon in chief] that would add 5 GOP seats in Texas.

Of course, I have been without a representative since Sylvester Turner died earlier this year and Gov Hot Wheels refused to call the special election for the available May window.

Should they follow through with all of this, I really hope Pritzker, Newsom and Houchul decide to retailiate in kind.

Forged signatures found on Mayor Adams’ petitions to run as an independent

The Adams campaign said it is conducting a review after Gothamist found signatures that were fraudulently obtained or outright forged.

“… Gothamist reviewed signatures submitted from across New York City and found people who said their names were forged, as well as people who said they were deceived into signing the petitions. In at least three instances, the campaign turned in signatures from dead people.…”

“…
In all, Gothamist identified 52 signatures that were fraudulently obtained or outright forged, but thousands more have not been vetted. Verifying signatures is time-consuming work; for two weeks, three reporters knocked on more than 200 doors in four boroughs and interviewed more than 100 people. In some buildings, the majority of the people we spoke with said their signatures had been forged.

There are other reasons to believe there may be many more problematic signatures. The fraud uncovered by Gothamist was committed by at least nine workers who together submitted more than 5,000 signatures.…”

What I've read is that they are cutting it pretty fine and it could end up as a dumbmander, where they lose a huge # of seats because their anticipated 52-48 margins slip to 49-51.

They will. California will have a proposition on the ballot this Fall to repeal the independent redistricting committee, and the proposition will pass with ease. This is one of those areas where the low approval ratings of democrats will motivate them to make these changes. They understand that "playing by the rules" is no longer popular with the base.

I don't particularly like Gavin Newsom but I do appreciate that he's seemingly the lone Democrat willing to go lower when the Republicans go low. About GD time.

She’s going to lose Virginia by 20 points or more. She’s essentially Mark Robinson without the Nude Africa subscription (that we know of).

Yeah, she genuinely doesn’t seem like she would have a Nude Africa skeleton in her closet.

It is fascinating to me how NC , now Va , just offer nothing as a candidate for Gov
In Nc I "kind of " assume no Pub wants to be a Governor since the legislture basically ignored everything Pat McCroy asked for.........
In his first week in office they took his (Art Popes) budget and tossed it in the bin

I certainly hope that CA, NY, and other blue states retaliate. At this point if Democrats expect to remain competitive in the House they're simply going to have to fight fire with fire.

Keep digging.

As has been pointed out here repeatedly, the reason Democrats are doing so poorly is because their base voters are frustrated and mad at them because of how they've approached dealing with Trump, not because their policies are unpopular or voters in general have turned against them. There are other polls showing that Democrats are actually quite eager to go to the polls next year and vote against Trumper candidates. The real issue, imo, isn't whether there will be a large anti-Trump vote in next year's elections (I think there will be), the question is whether Republicans at the national and state levels will manage to rig the votes and gerrymander districts to the point that the actual vote won't matter. They're already hard at work on doing so, as in Texas.

SC loves their crazy.

It's so wild to me how different of a state it is from North Carolina
