"A coronavirus outbreak that infected President Trump and spread to the Senate threw a fresh element of uncertainty on Friday into the politically fraught fight over installing Judge Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court before Election Day."

Delays mean the AZ and GA Senate races could deny McConnell the votes he needs to replace RBG because the winners can be seated early -- in November.

The growing coronavirus outbreak among Senate Republicans adds credence to a MAJOR political insight you may not be hearing elsewhere... about a potential way to block Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump's plan to ram extreme conservative Amy Coney Barrett onto the Supreme Court.

Two tight Senate races this November -- Mark Kelly in Arizona and Rev. Raphael Warnock in Georgia -- are also special elections against appointed senators. If we win, the Democrats could get seated in November, not January like everyone else -- potentially changing the balance of power in the Senate.

With 3 Republican senators testing positive for Covid-19, and others quarantining due to confirmed exposures, Mitch McConnell just announced that the Senate will not meet this week as originally planned.

Turning the Arizona and Georgia Senate seats blue could potentially deny McConnell the votes he needs to replace RBG if they can't force a vote before the election. Can you join thousands of PCCC members who have rushed emergency donations to these key races? And pass this email to others?

Vox reports, "One wrinkle is the Arizona Senate contest, which is a special election. Republican Sen. Martha McSally currently holds the seat. But if the Democratic nominee, Mark Kelly, defeats her, he will likely be seated before the other new senators -- once the results of the election are certified, which could be in late November."

The same is true in Georgia if Rev. Raphael Warnock gets over 50% against ethically-challenged Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler.

Mark Kelly is a former astronaut whose life has been personally impacted by gun violence when his wife, former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, almost lost her life in a shooting. He's campaigning on stricter gun laws, paid family leave, and closing the wage gap. He's also emphasizing the urgency of the climate crisis -- saying that, as an astronaut, we only have one world and need to save it.

Warnock is pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church, the same church where Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. served as pastor. He is rejecting corporate PAC money and campaigning on voting rights, secure elections, and ending private prisons.

The Cook Political Report lists these races among the most contested in the nation. Arizona leans Democrat, Georgia leans Republican -- both will be down to the wire. FiveThirtyEight shows Kelly leading in Arizona and Warnock within five points in Georgia.
