so the Democratic candidate is likely Danny O'Connor
hmm
"The 31-year-old Shelby County native has a bachelor's degree in political science from Wright State University and a law degree from Syracuse University. If elected, O'Connor would be younger than any currently serving member of Congress."
unless he has some severe flaws, not a good sign
^male R candidate

>Trump state, not a Republican state
One of the few places where this combination is true
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 same with Pennsylvania
Basically the entire Rust Belt except Ohio
Because OH is kinda a toss up
Haha, us thinking we can beat the Democrats
Why is the Republican Establishment not even weakened
It's like they've only grown stronger
McCarthy is in line ahead of Scalise for Speaker~
McConnell is still in charge of the Senate GOP and no one is fighting him
Anyone that does is eliminated
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 Joe Manchin is their only Democrat who's occupied a federal position in WV since 2014.
Notice a pattern?
Whenever the Republican leadership tries to block a candidate,
