Unless it’s to get rid of the debt ceiling permanently, there should no Dem votes to raise it prematurely now. A lot of talk about mandates, landslides and trifectas. Let those claiming absolute power use some of it to deal with the debt ceiling next year.
Little solace if you wanted a different outcome. But it is worth noting as some claim a grand mandate that Trump is now below 50% of the vote. 49.87-48.25. Margin will continue to shrink. He ran 3 times and never passed 50. Heading to dplouffe.bsky.social.
It was a privilege to spend the last 100 days with @KamalaHarris and the amazing staff led by @jomalleydillon who left it all on the field for their country. We dug out of a deep hole but not enough. A devastating loss. Thanks for being in the arena, all of you.
It’s helpful, from experience, to be closing a Presidential campaign with late deciding voters breaking by double digits to you and the remaining undecideds looking more friendly to you than your opponent. Close race, turnout and 4 days of hard work will be key. But good mo.
This guy is clearly not liking his internal briefings on the state of the race in Pennsylvania.

For your opponent, hard agree.
Trump: My Madison Square Garden rally was the greatest evening anyone has ever seen politically
A great update for everyone by @jomalleydillon on where the race stands. Rather be us than them but a lot of voters who need to be reached in the close to get us over the finish line. Please sign up to help if you can. Let’s go win this f’ing thing.
This race is going to be extremely close, and we need to keep up the fight every day between now and Election Day on November 5. When we fight, we win. Join us: go.kamalaharris.com
Usually pre-game speeches matter little. Pretty remarkable Trump’s MSG warm up acts are all creating controversy and content that will hurt him. Cluster. And that’s before his Soviet style speech that will generate much material of concern to the remaining undecided voters.
Perfect jawn to have on the air while @KamalaHarris is hitting the neighborhoods in Philly.
NEW AD: It’s Philly vs. Trump. Airing during the Eagles game today.
Why his fetish for generals like Hitler had matters. He is increasingly unstable and unhinged. He wants unchecked power He wants the military to go after anyone who won’t bend the knee. So he wants a military loyal to him. How is that going to work out for America?
He desires autocracy and the resultant state media. But this raises additionally large concerns about his psyche. He has to have a happy place where all content he sees treats him like the brilliant Adonis he seems himself as, never to be challenged. Weak and unstable.
Donald Trump concludes his Fox & Friends interview by saying he's about to go meet with Rupert Murdoch and tell him Fox shouldn't allow negative ads for the final 21 days or Democrats on air "and then we'll have a victory, because I think everyone wants to have a victory."
Kamala Harris (strong) handled an ambush Fox interview light years better than the hash Donald Trump (unstable) made of the Fox pep rally disguised as a town hall.
Pretty remarkable Trump (i.e. Father of IVF) did a Fox event stacked with his own supporters and it will still produce multiple pieces of persuasive content that we will feed to key voting targets.
Trump is unhinged. The father of IVF? He is the godfather of eliminating Roe V Wade, his proudest accomplishment. Has led to Trump abortion bans in 20 states. And his Project 2025 would give him unchecked power to enact nationwide bans on abortion.
Would highly suggest to those that can find time, watch the @KamalaHarris rally in Erie County, PA. And as always, share what you think might be persuasive to those in your networks still deciding how to vote.
We’ll all be living in Detroit with no dairy, beef or light. Unstable and unhinged.
A confused Trump goes on a delusional rant: “They just come up, they want to do things like no more cows and no windows in buildings”
F with Detroit and find out.
NEW AD: Yesterday Donald Trump attacked Detroit while in Detroit. Donald Trump doesn’t understand a damn thing about Detroit.
He wouldn’t send help to Americans in need after natural disasters unless there were enough MAGA voters in the population. But today we learn at a time when most Americans couldn’t get Covid tests in 2020 he secretly sent PUTIN Covid test machines.
Take it from those who know him best: If Donald Trump is reelected, he will fill the White House with loyalists—and there will be no one to stop his worst instincts. Watch our new ad:
