Isn’t it always the plan for Dems to unseat Republicans? That’s how the 2 party system works no?
I believe the tactic is prioritizing those districts with resources.
That’s always the tactic. But a speaker vote for a psycho like Jordan will make it so much easier.
What they’re doing is publicly signaling that they’re going to spend a lot of money in those districts if these reps vote for Jim Jordan. They’re already swing districts, so anyone who wants to keep his seat is going to have to raise and spend even more money. The Dems are betting that the pressure of having to fundraise and fight a contested election is more of a problem than just making up an excuse to not vote for Jordan.
You’d think.
Yes but if PACs identify potential weaknesses they will strategize how to take advantage. It’s how politics work now.
You would think so yes. But they divide up the country, take the corporate cash, and him haw about how we didn’t vote enough. Weaponized incompetence at its finest.
"I hate the double standard that exists. It’s because Democrats are always the adults. If this was Nancy Pelosi, do you think that anyone would be saying, ‘Hey, Republicans, go help Nancy?’ No one would be saying that. No one would even expect that. But they always expect us to fix their mess.”
— Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX),
The threat is easily overcome by bribing moderate republicons with cushy jobs if they lose.
