UPDATE: Republicans currently have 220 House seats, but there are a few seats left, and we're in good shape in them. In CA-22, the news is good. Though Rudy Salas is currently slightly trailing his GOP opponent, The Washington Post election model predicts when all the votes are counted that Salas will win! So let's secure this race for Rudy Salas by making sure EVERY VOTE IS COUNTED!! To do this, can you give $5, $10, $25 to Rudy Salas so he can pay staffers and lawyers--the watchdogs--for this effort? Let's take another seat, keep the GOP majority so small they remain in chaos! THANK YOU!

Rudy Salas! Republicans are now expected to have a 5-7 vote edge in the House. Two of those votes, lunatics Andy Biggs & Matt Gaetz, have promised to will NEVER vote for Kevin McCarthy as leader. 31 voted for Biggs over McCartthy in a leadership contest. And Republican House member, Rep. Don Bacon, who is one of the more normal Republicans, has already floated the idea of power-sharing with Democrats if McCarthy doesn't have the votes. This all adds up to something simple: Every seat we win makes it more likely McCarthy won't be Speaker, the GOP won't be able to agree on any candidate and Democrats can join Bacon and perhaps a half dozen to a dozen sane Republicans to form a power sharing agreement, where progressive legislation we care about can get a vote. One of the races still outstanding is California's 22nd Congressional District, a seat long held by Democrats, but taken over in 2020 by Republican David Valadao. Democrat Rudy Salas is currently within 4,000 votes with an entire 25% of the vote left to count. A political science professor in the area was quoted saying she expects the race to be decided by 100, maybe 1000 votes at most. |
