"SNIP.....

Associated Press: “Results in Kentucky, Mississippi, New Jersey and Virginia won’t necessarily predict whether Trump will be reelected or which party will control Congress after the general election next fall. But partisans of all stripes invariably will use these odd-year elections for clues about how voters are reacting to the impeachment saga and whether the Republican president is losing ground among suburban voters who rewarded Democrats in the 2018 midterms and will prove critical again next November.”

Didn’t even run candidates in most races. So we may not matter much but Dems have worked hard to get good turnout this year.

In 2016 it went Clinton/Lance
In 2018 - for the first time since the early 1980s - Tom Malinowski won.
We have a Blue Mayor and Split Council
We currently have two Democratic Assembly members

And a VERY GOP Trump Humping Sherriff - Brown.

This is a Right Wing RAG:

Important to note - the Author lives a few streets over from me and is a foaming at the mouth nerd - and trumpster herself.

I was at a debate between him an Dominick Puzio a few weeks ago - and Fred's 'fans' were foaming at the mouth regressive Trumpsters.


^^^^^^ This is the one to watch in the NJ 7th District ^^^^^^^^^^

If Puzio wins, Trump is toast in the 7th District, Tom Malinowski goes back to Washington.

Wish us luck today!
