2026 Elections: To the Midterms and Beyond!

[Kepler]

KY-06 is going to start it all. From the 'hood to the holler...to all across America...it's the blue wave of 2026.

From your lips to God's ears.

Not talking about the party. Both meaning El Sayed and Stevens. They obviously have some sort of fued going on… and usually there is some fault from both sides.

Well yeah, she lost to him.

The leftist, socialist, Muzzie terrorist. Why shouldn't she hate him? All patriotic, country-lovin' 'Mericans should.

Edit: Always 'both sides' with you. I mean, it really is something to endorse the Republican who you would be otherwise running against if a few thousand votes went the other way in the primary. As someone said, then what is it you really stand for? Why did you want to run against him if you like his policies so much?

Court to GOP: DIAF.

Court to GOP: DIAF.

I mean, the Alaska courts had already decided this months ago.

Even if true, what has El-Sayed done, in your opinion, that would make Stevens not, you know, just refuse to endorse him or tell her supporters "vote your conscience" or some crap, and instead endorse the other guy? Since you're the only one coming at it from this angle, I can't say I recall too many times where this happened.

Right - I have no idea what may have been said or done behind closed doors. But unless we think Stevens, as a lifelong democrat, all of a sudden went full on MAGA (unlikely), there must have been something, particularly where she previously had endorsed El Sayed.

Right - thats why it makes sense to think of the possibility that SOMETHING went on behind the scenes.

Also, FWIW, I don't think it will have very much impact.

No one thinks she went full on MAGA. She’s an opportunist. Almost her entire team quit, so it seems only she was offended enough to abandon her values to endorse someone who wants to dismantle all of them.

You don’t?

Maybe he should not have told her to stay away from his campaign? Infighting seems like a bad idea when you already need to attract some of those moderate/swing voters.

She had a disastrous interview with Anderson Cooper. He asked her why she told Debbie Dingell that she wouldn’t endorse Rogers at midnight and then was in church with him the next morning.

First she deflected saying the call wasn’t at midnight. Then he asked regardless of the time of the call, what happened within 24 hours of her backing Abdul and then backing Rogers. She just kept circling around to the same talking point about anger and division, and Hasan Piker, and Cooper told her none of those changed in the last 24 hours, so what changed in her mind? That went back and forth for five minutes before he just straight up asked, did you even talk Debbie Dingell yesterday, and she failed to even answer that question.
