Voted for Kamala Harris and Angela Alsobrooks today

...wife and I.

She was full of good feels about it. I felt less anxiety than in the past, which is as excited as I get about voting. Feels weighty and solemn and I have to shake it off everytime.

But, hell, let's go!

Good morning from Malvern, PA where @KamalaHarris will be kicking off her three state tour today. PA ➡️ MI ➡️ WI.

Harris focusing on the suburbs in these blue wall states where the campaign sees an edge over her opponent.

*Women make up half the population in Chester Co.






🪷 Madam Auntie VP Kamala Harris for PRESIDENT! @flywithkamala
Today VP Kamala Harris and former Rep. Liz Cheney will embark on a three-state tour to Chester County, Pennsylvania, Oakland County, Michigan, and Waukesha County, Wisconsin!

The pair will hold moderated conversations in each state aimed at winning over undecided voters. #NoRest







All three conversations will be moderated by Sarah Longwell, a Republican strategist and the publisher of the Bulwark, and Charlie Sykes.

...remember, Liz Cheney, as co-chair of the Jan 6 committee, has all the receipts and will spill them on the campaign trail today.


Charlie Sykes @SykesCharlie
And today… Harris and Cheney return to crucial Waukesha County.
