The GOP can spin last night all they want as a "win", but a 13-point shift to the Dems in a +22 Trump district is making them shit enough bricks to rebuild the East Wing.

Dear Pete, Donald, MAGA etc:

When our daughter was born, she couldn’t swallow and was in the ICU, but insurance cos. pushed new moms out of the hospital in 24 hrs.
That inspired me to get involved in politics to allow new moms longer stays. Thanks to Governor Beshear for having me on to share my “why.”

A 90 pause is more uncertainty. Uncertainty doesn’t make me more likely to make purchases; you? Families figure they need to hold on to money until they get a better idea of what’s head. But this hurts consumer demand, which drives the economy. So, Trump’s 90 pause continues his harm to economy.
