Not to mention that if the Republicans keep the House and Johnson is still speaker, then they are in a better position for Johnson to try to force a contingent election in congress where each state gets one vote, which would install Trump no matter what we do. VOTE for Dems in every race in every state. PLEASE!
SoCal here, my “ENTITE HOUSEHOLD” and extended Family cast our votes 2 weeks ago💙💙💙 along with photographs of our ballots and our drop box location! We 🎉 our honor and privilege of voting in this crucial election…. PERIOD!!!
I’m in NY. I wish early voting had started earlier. I tell everyone I know to vote early, and why. I blame Sean Patrick Maloney for NY losing the seat in 2022. Playing stupid games, getting too big for his britches.
Please!!!!! NY and CA. Please..We need Jeffries Over the House. Johnson will fight on policies Kampala and Wala make if they get in. I'm feelIng positive. VOTE BLUE
All points are well taken, except that the reason New York lost four congressional seats to Republicans was not lack of turnout. It was a severely gerrymandered map. That has been corrected. In person early voting here just started on the 27th but we've been able to mail in ballots for weeks. My husband, my daughter and I sent our ballots in two weeks ago.
Thank you for covering this issue. This is why Trump has been campaigning in New York, California & Illinois to pick up Republican seats in the swing districts. This is the "secret plan" Trump was talking about with Mike Johnson. If Johnson is sworn in on January 3rd it helps their plan to create delays and chaos. These swing seats in Democratic States are almost as important as voting in Swing States💙🇺🇸💙
I plan on voting. I have been feeling a bit ambivalent when I watch the news and see all the focus on swing states. It has caused me to wonder if the rest of us even matter.
Look, the pull the electoral college has on presidential elections is nefarious. There's a reason why both Kamala and Trump have been on a swing state/battleground state extravaganza. 🤔 But, lemme tell you this, with a Dem controlled House and Senate, we have a much better chance of having progressive folks who want to get rid of it. Jus sayin' :3
NYer here. I filled out and physically dropped my ballot off at the post office last week. 💪 I think the assumption here where I am (Suffolk County) is that most areas that aren't close to the city go hard red and NYC goes hard blue and it's been that way for a very long time, so everyone just assumes it's not going to be any different this time around. My district in particular has gone red for over 20 years if I'm not mistaken. So we just assume it's not going to change. We have a lot of Fox News boomers out here that makes it feel like we're trying to push through a red wall. I have been always voting each cycle since 2016 regardless but I can see why others are apathetic.
does rally size matter? does it matter to trumps ego? i want to see the voter turnout absolutely CRUSH trumps tiny ego. i want republicans to know that when they try this nonsense, voters will get rid of them. every vote counts.
Listen good people and do something this is one of the most important elections in our lifetime we need to get this right for democracy and decency and our rights and freedoms are under line so please let's all do our part for the love of country HarrisWalz2024 💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸...!
Both my son (age 24) and I in CA already voted 2 weeks ago. I agree with everything you’re saying (hence our early votes). HOWEVER, the Dem supermajority in this state is not doing the party’s national candidates any favors. The legislature is completely captured and votes in lockstep with whatever Gov Newsom wants, which is mainly a lot of performative legislation. They are not tackling the state’s really hard problems (infrastructure, housing, government oversight) because they are all afraid of upsetting the governor, and by extension, his big donors.
NY here, unfortunately, NY leads all states in population decline. Yes, people are leaving NY but if you take away the 5 boroughs of the city, Upstate NY and Long Island are heavily Republican. Only because of the city, we are a blue state.
I voted blue in Utah. Republicans are not falling into apathy no matter the state. They fight to scrape together power however they can. Democrats have to finally start fighting back or they’ll just keep being ruled by an oppressive minority party
California voter. I mailed my ballot in this morning. DONE. We punted Dana Rohrbacher in 2018 (the rep that Kevin McCarthy said was paid by Putin, paid along with Donald Trump) and flipped every house seat on Orange County to blue. We got this.
Three of four districts are Democrats in Orange County. CA-40 is a conservative district. CA-45 flipped from red to blue. I'm from CA-47 (Irvine). I used to live in Santa Ana (CA-46). It's only 15 mins from there.
NYer here. 45 minutes to vote on Saturday (1st day of early voting) and it is the only time I have ever had to wait outside the polling place to get my ballot. Based on demographics, it was a predominantly Republican turnout. I doubt Kamala Harris is in a position where she will lose the state, but it doesn't bode well for our house races.
@jesscraven101 Hello Jessica! I'm from proudly golden state of California in 47th district by Congresswoman Katie Porter. My newly elected Congressman is Dave Min defeating MAGA Republican Scott Baugh as it retains blue. Three of four districts are Democrats in Orange County. CA-13, CA-27 and CA-45 flipped 3 House seats from red to blue. NY-4, NY-19 and NY-22 flipped 3 House seats from red to blue. California and New York are aiming to win more House seats in 2026. Vice President Kamala Harris will run for governorship in 2026, then will also run for President in 2028.
NY, California, NJ, Connecticut, Illinois, and other blue states need to lower their taxes. They need to stop funding the country. Stop using blue state taxes to support red undertaxed states. Let the red states support themselves.
But you support law breaking. Democrats aren't stupid enough to sit in prison for a lie. To me Liberal means liberated, law abiding citizen. You support cop killing rapist draft dodging pedophiles. You're only American by birth, I know you hate America. It's your right under the constitution and Bill of rights.

Sleep on your rights, and you may not have them anymore 🤦♀️ VOTE VOTE VOTE 🙏💙🇺🇲
35, Californian, am voting, thank you for your activism and reminding us our CA votes are still imporatant 💙💙💙💙💙
California Harris voter here and reporting for duty! 💪🌊
I’m in Cali and waited to vote in person. Not taking chances, voted today.
People need to vote every where, not just for president but also for congress! Vote!!!!!
My daughter filled out her ballot today and mailed it!
We parents voted already 😊
I’m in California and trust me I feel the sense of urgency

Early voted in NYS.
All points are well taken, except that the reason New York lost four congressional seats to Republicans was not lack of turnout. It was a severely gerrymandered map. That has been corrected.
In person early voting here just started on the 27th but we've been able to mail in ballots for weeks. My husband, my daughter and I sent our ballots in two weeks ago.
Sadly, apathy took over. No one’s vote has been threaten in these two states like it is in the southern states.
I already voted on Saturday here in NY! It was the first day of early voting, so the line was pretty long, but it felt good to get it out of the way
Come on, NY and CA!! Vote!! 💙

Voted blue here in CA 2 weeks ago!

Also we mailed ballots last week
I love how expressive you are with your hands
Mail-in votes you say? Louis DeJoy, a Trump appointee, is still in charge of the United States Postal Service. 😔
I sent my 3 weeks ago!
I will say I put my ballot in the drop box a week ago (CA) and it was just counted yesterday. I was checking it every day too. 😅
does rally size matter? does it matter to trumps ego? i want to see the voter turnout absolutely CRUSH trumps tiny ego. i want republicans to know that when they try this nonsense, voters will get rid of them. every vote counts.

You are forgetting Buffalo and Rochester, also large Democratic voting urban areas
I suspect apathy is electoral college based. I voted but felt like why bother, I'm not in PA, GA, etc. 💙
I voted blue in Utah. Republicans are not falling into apathy no matter the state. They fight to scrape together power however they can. Democrats have to finally start fighting back or they’ll just keep being ruled by an oppressive minority party
Apathy got us an insurrection

That won't happen. The corrupt Democraps love overtaxing the obedient citizens.
You're being unfair to Johnson; they also tried to save the gas stoves.
👌🏻😂
Liberals have to whine
