In case you're wondering, white leftists are trying to smear Shontel Brown. The Intercept decided to run a hit piece about "pay for play" against the Cuyahoga County official who is the chief rival to candidate endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and white leftists. They are going to realize that their candidate Nina Turner is destined for failure. The race in Ohio will get interesting.
The special election to replace Cedric Richmond is over. It appears the Democratic Party picked a candidate that vows to work with President Joe Biden and not be a gadfly.
Rep-elect Troy Carter (D-LA) defeats challenger Karen Carter Peterson in a special general election. He won the endorsement of longtime lawmaker Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) and the now White House advisor Richmond.
Carter, 57 will be sworn in by Friday. He will be the U.S. House Representative from the 2nd Congressional District. The district covers most of Metro New Orleans and parts of Baton Rouge.
The district is gerrymandered and it's the only area the Democrats have control of.
Louisiana has a jumble primary. It doesn't matter who is running, the candidates who poll the best will face off in a run-off. The candidates who ran as Republican had no chance. Claston Bernard, a Jamaican-American decathlete who lives Louisiana wanted to run as a Republican. The enabler of white nationalism came in a distant fourth place. Wow, he didn't run a great campaign.
Bernie Sanders-backed Karen Carter Peterson was defeated. |
Carter's opponent Karen Carter Peterson (no relation) had tried numerous times to become the U.S. Representative of the 2nd District. She tried since the days of William Jefferson.
Peterson who championed herself as a progressive who supported Sanders' platform of Medicare for All, free tuition, taxing billionaires and the Green New Deal was defeated roundly in the run off.
Carter won with 56% of the vote.
Carter also had backing of Republicans. The Biden Republicans came out in full force to back Carter over Peterson.
Now that Carter and Rep. Julia Letlow (R-LA) are settled, there's the race to replace the late Texas lawmaker Ron Wright and the race to replace Marcia Fudge, now Housing and Urban Development Secretary.
Fudge who represented the 11th Congressional District of Ohio left her seat to join Biden. Now the former co-chair of The Bernie Sanders Campaign and president of Our Revolution, Nina Turner wants to win the seat.
I will straight up tell you that she's going to lose to Shontel Brown. First things first, Turner is relatively known in Democratic circles. She also has burned bridges with local Democrats. Second, she lost badly to Jon Husted in the race to be Secretary of State. Third, she backed Hillary Clinton in 2015 but ended up backing Bernie Sanders. She said she did not support Clinton and she allegedly supported Jill Stein, the Green Party nominee for president. Fourth, she got into it with Hilary Rosen, Jason Johnson and Roland Martin. They would have a ground zero approach to winning Democratic votes and Turner caused a rift with them. Fifth, she backed Sanders again and spread misinformation about Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, Beto O'Rourke, Amy Klobuchar and Joe Biden. Sixth, she said that voting for Joe Biden is "like eating half a bowl of shit. It's still shit." Seventh, she has the backing of grifters like Susan Sarandon, Shaun King, Charlamagne tha Rapist, Cornel West and Ryan Knight. Eighth, she has the backing of the Squad. Ninth, she is a raging hypocrite.
I am going to say this again! Support Shontel Brown for Congress. She is the best choice for the district. She had an ear to the needs of residents in Cleveland, East Cleveland, Akron, Kent and Stow.
Brown understands that we have to work for the benefits of Biden not become a distraction and obstructionist like white nationalist Democratic senators Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin of West Virginia.
Brown is best suited for the job.
Congratulations to Troy Carter, Representative-elect.
