The Jacobin-Intercept left is still defending Morse, while ironically still pushing the Tara Reade is truthful angle.

More good news for the Dems.

On the heels of two Democratic internal polls that show a close race between Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-Dennis) and challenger Amy Kennedy, the Cook Political Report has moved New Jersey’s 2nd district from Leans Republican to Toss-Up.

“Massachusetts Rep. Joe Kennedy III’s Senate bid may be in some trouble, but Democratic teacher Amy Kennedy (who is married to former Rhode Island Rep. Patrick Kennedy) is building a head of steam in South Jersey,” the Cook report stated. “Now, a new poll by Global Strategy Group for House Majority PAC shows Kennedy leading the party-switching Van Drew 46 percent to 45 percent. This blue-collar seat voted for Trump 51 percent to 46 percent in 2016, and Trump embraced Van Drew after he voted against impeachment and switched parties. But now Biden is running neck and neck here and Van Drew may be paying a price”

In the 11th district, the Cook Report has shifted Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-Montclair) from Likely Democratic to Safe Democratic.

FLORIDA PRIMARY NIGHT!

“The six people competing in the Aug. 18 primary include a former burlesque dancer and wild animal exhibitor who did business in the same circles as “Tiger King” Joe Exotic; a Palm Beach neighbor of Mar-a-Lago who is supported by QAnon believers; and Laura Loomer, a far-right commentator and anti-Islam activist who calls herself “the most banned woman on the Internet” and who once handcuffed herself to the front door of Twitter’s office in New York.
There’s also an ex-cop, a nuclear engineer-turned college professor and a retired investigator for the IRS.”

Another House incumbent looks like he’s going to get primaried. Spano has been under investigation for campaign finance violations.

Crazy AF Laura Loomer has won this primary and will go on to face incumbent Lois Frankel in this D+9 district.

Meanwhile in GA-14, which will probably be won by carpetbagging QAnon crazy Marjorie Taylor Greene, the retiring incumbent can’t even stick it out the rest of the way.

Sarah Palin really blazed that quitter’s trail.

The Dem dropped out of that race today - abruptly and weirdly, and not leaving enough time to field another challenger - and so it looks like that QAnon lunatic is going to be Rep. Qanon Lunatic soon. Because America is exceptional or something. Can't wait for her salary to come from my taxes.

Please check NJ-2 race. Pretty close - donate to Amy Kennedy.
