The Black Republican who lives in the suburbs of Baltimore is running again to take the seat once held by Elijah Cummings. She was the troll who posted a video of one of the grimey neighborhoods of Baltimore which was shared by Terrence K. Williams (aka Sweet Chicken) and Donald J. Trump.
She got unnecessary attention from Fox News. She organized clean up on one fucking block as a publicity stunt with alt-white troll Scott Pressler in a desperate attempt to generate Black votes.
She is trying to run on a platform that doesn't paint her as a far-right extremist. She is trying to create a profile of herself as an "advocate" for Baltimore and willing to do the job the Democrats failed to do.
First things, first, Baltimore is an American city. It's not a third world country or a shithole.
The walk of shame in Baltimore. Far-right troll misleads people into believing Baltimore is a dump.
Two, Baltimore is one of the many cities of the rust belt still dealing with the elements of racism. Cities in the rust belt often are suffering from white flight. They often look a community that is forgotten.
Three. Baltimore isn't just all boarded row homes and liquor stores. There's places where Baltimore is pretty safe and decent. This agitator is just trying to dog whistle her way into Congress.
Once again, another QAnon nut running for office. Only this one is a Black person running like a white nationalist.
Klacik with gay white nationalist Scott Pressler.
Elijah Cummings passed away in 2019. The lawmaker was a champion of civil rights and holding the fascist Donald J. Trump accountable for his actions. He was an advocate for the city of Baltimore, a city that suffered from white flight, corrupt police and desegregation. It's a rust belt city that is caught between Washington, DC and Philadelphia. A city that has population of 594,000.
The seat previously was held by his predecessor Kweisi Mfume, who is currently the lawmaker of the district.
Former Fox News commentator and coonservative Kimberly Klacik continues her quest to be the next U.S. Representative for Maryland.
Klacik is once again trying to win the seat after a stinging defeat in the special election. She is determined to "bring Baltimore back" by being a defender of white nationalism.
A Black woman who won the Republican primary to be on the ballot in the general.
Trump endorses Klacik
The 7th Congressional District of Maryland is SAFE DEMOCRAT. But please, don't take anything for granted this election.
She made a video that went viral. She walks through the Fayette Avenue neighborhood. The block where row houses are boarded up and liquor stores are near a corner bordea.
She claims she's walking "Real Baltimore" and places the problems squarely on the Democratic Party.
Democrats don’t want you to see this.
They’re scared that I’m exposing what life is like in Democrat run cities.
Bernard "Jack" C. Young is the mayor of the city and he doesn't think the "Charm City" is a dump.
Nor does Rep. Mfume (D-MD).
Matter of fact, the 7th Congressional District encompasses just over half of Baltimore, the independent city, Ellicott City, Owing Mills, parts of Towson, Baltimore County and Howard County
Klacik is now running for the seat again. She already got the backing of former civil rights attorney turned coontivist Leo Terrell.
Rep. Kweisi Mfume (D-MD) ain't stressing about Klaick's latest attempt at beating him
The Republicans are rationalizing white nationalism as a platform. They continue to push narratives to paint Americans against one another.
All I can tell you in real time, that 6.8 million people are infect with the coronavirus. Over 200,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus. There are over 35 million Americans unemployed in the United States. Companies are going out of business left and right. We have civil unrest in many of America's municipalities. We are less than three months away from the U.S. Elections and we're not prepared for the possibility of election tampering from foreign entities. We are not prepared for mail-in ballots or absentee ballots. We are having a food crisis due to the coronavirus.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Over 103 people have died a day because of gun violence.
We are really having a moment where the world is on fire and Donald J. Trump is just playing golf or rambling about how everyone who doesn't support his ass is anti-American.
White nationalist Scott Franklin beats white nationalist Ross Spano.
The far-right beats the far-right. It seems like this is going to be an interesting year.
This is the eighth lawmaker to be defeated by a primary challenger.
It happened to Rep. Scott Tipton (R-CO), Rep. Steve Watkins (R-KS), Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-VA), Rep. Steve King (R-IA), Rep. Daniel Lipinski (D-IL), Rep. Lacy Clay (D-MO) and Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY).
Now Rep. Ross Spano (R-FL) is defeated. The freshman lawmaker is under federal watch for campaign finance violations was defeated by Lakeland city commissioner Scott Franklin.
Franklin beat Spano by a mere 3 points in a race to keep hold of the 15th Congressional District of Florida. The district went to Trump by 10 points. But now it could be a potential pickup for the Democrats.
The district carries parts of East Tampa and Lakeland.
Spano faced heat over 2018 loans he accepted from two friends, which he then used to loan his own campaign, a clear violation of campaign finance laws governing contribution limits. Spano faces a federal sandwich.
Spano got backing from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL). Franklin got backed by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), the white nationalist lawmaker who backed Laura Loomer, Marjorie Taylor Greene and other QAnon nuts.
Rep. Ross Spano (R-FL), a white nationalist lawmaker was defeated by white nationalist Scott Franklin.
Trump stayed out the race but is now throwing his full support behind Franklin.
"Tonight is a win for Florida's 15th Congressional District. The voters have made clear that they want someone they can trust to get the job done in Washington. They want someone who will defend our freedoms and our family values. They want someone who will fight back against the socialist liberals like Nancy Pelosi and AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez). They want someone who will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with President Trump," said Franklin in a press release.
Gaetz backed Franklin in a phone call.
"Hi, this is Congressman Matt Gaetz, President Trump's No. 1 ally calling you to tell you that your Congressman Ross Spano has just got to go. Ross Spano is so weakened by the Justice Department corruption investigation that we can't count on him to defend President Trump against Pelosi and the liberals. President Trump and I personally need Scott Franklin to help keep the fight for the Trump agenda alive and to take back the House of Representatives. Everything is on the line this election and we can't have a weak link like Ross Spano take down our team," said the white nationalist lawmaker.
Gaetz appeared with Franklin in a last minute attempt to generate votes.
The 15th Congressional District of Florida is LEAN REPUBLICAN.
The Republican will take Alan Cohn, a former investigative journalist who worked for WFTS-28.
He will face an uphill battle to take on a seat. This is the second time around for Cohen. He will be labeled a "socialist" and the like by a very polarizing Franklin.
This disgusting troll is the Republican nominee for a U.S. Congressional House race.
WEAR THE DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!
The ugly side of politics.
The internet alt-white troll who is banned from Facebook, Twitter, Uber, Lyft, Instagram, GoFundMe, PayPal, XFinity and social dating apps won the Republican primary for the 21st Congressional District of Florida.
— Marjorie Taylor Greene For Congress🇺🇸 (@mtgreenee) August 19, 2020
She got the backing of white nationalists Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Roger Stone, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Breitbart, Alex Jones. Even that facasist Donald J. Trump endorsed her.
Laura Loomer will take on Rep. Lois Frankel (D-FL).
The 27-year old is a conspiracy theorist who is supporter of the QAnon bullshit.
The white nationalist beat five candidates to win the nomination. The district is where Donald J. Trump and Melania Trump file their mail-in ballots. That is the residence where Trump claims his home now since he's moved from New York.
Lois Frankel will take on internet troll Laura Loomer in the general.
Loomer is a notorious troll. She handcuffed herself to Twitter's headquarters in New York after she got permanently banned from the platform. She was soon banned from Facebook but is in arbitration due to her political campaign. She tried to throw dog shit on the lawn of Rep. Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) home. She has interrupted Shakespeare in the Park. She crashed an event hosted by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MI) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MN).
Loomer unfazed by the critics says that she wants to put an end to "Lazy Lois."
"I will be everybody's congresswoman. [See] I will represent people from all walks of life and political beliefs, unlike Lois, who does absolutely nothing for anyone who's not a part of her base. People are just sick of her."
She added, "I just call her Lazy Lois. She's politically lazy and fat."
Frankel's campaign slammed her.
"Rep. Frankel is focused on serving her constituents and not disrespectful name calling."
Don't underestimate the race. I call it LIKELY DEMOCRAT but given how Republicans are willing are adapting to a white nationalist platform, they'll be willing to shelve out donations to this notorious grifter.
The Bernie Bros and Broettes are insufferable assholes. They are white privileged idiots who don't understand that their messiah's policies aren't feasible in a time where the frustration is getting rid of this idiot fascist. We don't need another troll in the White House. Or Congress.
More on Laura Loomer later.
Former Democratic National Committee chairwoman and Florida congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz easily beaten a candidate backed by the Squad and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
The divisiveness of Sanders, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) didn't help Jen Perelman win her bid to unseat Wasserman Schultz.
Perelman practiced corporate law before becoming a full-time mother.
Rep. Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) is leading in the polls. As of right now, she has 75% of the vote.
The race isn't called yet but it's clear that Wasserman Schultz isn't sweating over the results.
I want to thank all the primary voters who put their trust in me. It is an honor and privilege to represent you in our fight for a more just, compassionate and equitable America. Of course, that’s what this general election will be all about. pic.twitter.com/djmnZGX58r
Perelman tried some last minute shenanigans. She sent a troll to bother the congresswoman.
The troll was allegedly shoved by the congresswoman. The troll decided to press charges.
Florida could charge Wasserman Schultz with minor battery which is a misdemeanor. It will not likely be a criminal case. It will likely be arbitration. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Jen Perelman vows to take on Wasserman Schultz in 2022.
Perelman shared the footage on social media as an attempt to generate last minute fundraising.
The attempts backfired and Floridians saw through the stunt and immediately backed Wasserman Schultz, a survivor of a mail bomb plot, death threats, cancer and sexual abuse.
Wasserman Schultz was vilified by Sanders in 2016 when his struggling campaign accused her of putting her finger on the scale for Hillary Clinton.
Wasserman Schultz for her part, didn't hide her fact that she supported Clinton but she also said that would support Sanders if he won too.
Wikileaks leaked emails between Wasserman Schultz and DNC workers. The lawmaker slammed Sanders for being whiner. She resigned from the leadership.
Wasserman Schultz represents Florida's 23rd Congressional District. She held that seat since 2013. It was then the 20th Congressional District which she held since 2005.
Did you happen to catch last night's Democratic National Convention?
I know a lot of people are talking about the speeches made by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), former First Lady Michelle Obama, former Ohio governor John Kasich and New York governor Andrew Cuomo. They managed to steal the show.
Those were the people Donald J. Trump and the far-right attacked the most. Besides them, the Republicans have targeted Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) his running mate.
Somebody please explain to @MichelleObama that Donald J. Trump would not be here, in the beautiful White House, if it weren’t for the job done by your husband, Barack Obama. Biden was merely an afterthought, a good reason for that very late & unenthusiastic endorsement.....
....My Administration and I built the greatest economy in history, of any country, turned it off, saved millions of lives, and now am building an even greater economy than it was before. Jobs are flowing, NASDAQ is already at a record high, the rest to follow. Sit back & watch!
Looking back into history, the response by the ObamaBiden team to the H1N1 Swine Flu was considered a weak and pathetic one. Check out the polling, it’s really bad. The big difference is that they got a free pass from the Corrupt Fake News Media!
The ObamaBiden Administration was the most corrupt in history, including the fact that they got caught SPYING ON MY CAMPAIGN, the biggest political scandal in the history of our Country. It’s called Treason, and more. Thanks for your very kind words Michelle!
Many thousands of people work for our government. With that said, a former DISGRUNTLED EMPLOYEE named Miles Taylor, who I do not know (never heard of him), said he left & is on the open arms Fake News circuit. Said to be a real “stiff”. They will take anyone against us!
Many thousands of people work for our government. With that said, a former DISGRUNTLED EMPLOYEE named Miles Taylor, who I do not know (never heard of him), said he left & is on the open arms Fake News circuit. Said to be a real “stiff”. They will take anyone against us!
A horrible Governor. Crime is taking over NYC & State, everyone is leaving. He is after the NRA - They should move to Texas or elsewhere, and must get tough. Cuomo killed 11,000 people in nursing homes alone. Crooked & Incompetent! https://t.co/d4hZDAvdWo
People forget how divided our Country was under ObamaBiden. The anger and hatred were unbelievable. They shouldn’t be lecturing to us. I’m here, as your President, because of them!
Joseph Robinette Biden and Kamala Devi Harris will take the stage this week and formally become the Democratic presidential and vice presidential nominees. The Democrats will have to work extra hard to encourage voter enthusiasm.
The former rival Sanders has once again left the Democratic Party with a toxic brew.
The party's young and progressive base are not so keen on a Biden-Harris ticket. They are once again going to cost the election for the Democrats all because of a covert campaign sparked by Sanders' vile allies.
Polls say that Biden is leading in many states. However, Biden isn't stupid and he knows that the risk of getting to confident in this election. He doesn't want to face a Walter Mondale or Hillary Clinton defeat.
So Biden is going to take things with consideration. He is trying to win over disgruntled Republicans and independents. Many progressives are concerned that Biden is taking a moderate path. They said that Trump went full conservative and won.
They want a leader who can bring progressive policies to the mainstream.
Trump is trying to campaign in crucial states he's gonna need to win. He was in Wisconsin and Minnesota on Monday. He will be in Arizona to host a campaign rally and donation.
Last night Michelle Obama brought the house down.
"Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country. He has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job, but he is clearly in over his head. He cannot meet this moment. He simply cannot be who we need him to be for us. It is what it is."
NPR reported that Obama acknowledged that some weren't sure the Democratic Party should stick with that approach. But she defended staying true to it, saying, "Going high is the only thing that works, because when we go low, when we use those same tactics of degrading and dehumanizing others, we just become part of the ugly noise that's drowning out everything else. We degrade ourselves. We degrade the very causes for which we fight."
Trump had words for Michelle Obama, Bernie Sanders and John Kasich.
But for the 2020 version, Obama suggested there are times when hitting back is necessary, saying, "Going high does not mean putting on a smile and saying nice things when confronted by viciousness and cruelty."
Wearing a gold necklace with letters that spelled V-O-T-E, the former first lady made an urgent plea for Americans to show up in 2020.
"We've got to vote early, in person if we can. We've got to request our mail-in ballots right now, tonight, and send them back immediately and follow up to make sure they're received. And then, make sure our friends and families do the same. We have got to grab our comfortable shoes, put on our masks, pack a brown bag dinner and maybe breakfast too, because we've got to be willing to stand in line all night if we have to."
That message could be viewed as at odds with advice from public health experts who warn that Americans need to social distance during the coronavirus pandemic and avoid crowded places. Joe Biden, 77, has held few public events and has stuck to just a handful of low-key events with small numbers of voters in his home state of Delaware or neighboring Pennsylvania.
Sanders had said that Trump had failed in handling the pandemic and our economy is inching closer towards a Great Depression. He said that Trump is like Nero and he's fiddling while the country collapses.
"We are facing the worst public health crisis in 100 years and the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression. We are confronting systemic racism and the enormous threat to our planet of climate change. And in the midst of all of this, we have a president who is not only incapable of addressing these crises but is leading us down the path of authoritarianism," Sanders said.
Bill Clinton and AOC will bring some A-game. The Republicans will try to bring up Jeffrey Epstein and Clinton in real time.
"This election is the most important in the modern history of this country. In response to the unprecedented crises we face, we need an unprecedented response — a movement, like never before, of people who are prepared to stand up and fight for democracy and decency — and against greed, oligarchy and bigotry.And we need Joe Biden as our next president."
"Nero fiddled while Rome burned; Trump golfs. His actions fanned this pandemic, resulting in over 170,000 deaths and a nation still unprepared to protect its people," said Sanders.
With night one closing, who will now shine at night two of the DNC 2020?
Who will appear at tonight's event?
Sally Yates, former acting U.S. Attorney under Barack Obama and Donald J. Trump.
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY)
John Kerry, former U.S. Senator and Secretary of State under Barack Obama.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE)
Bill Clinton, former U.S. president (1993-2001) and husband of Hillary Clinton.
John Legend, R&B singer, songwriter, actor, activist and Oscar awarding entertainer.
Tom Perez, Democratic Party chairman and former Secretary of Labor under Barack Obama.
Jimmy Carter, former U.S. president (1977-1981).

Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE)
Ady Barkan, Israeli-American lawyer, activist, disability rights speaker and organizer.
Dr. Jill Biden, former Second Lady of the United States, wife of Joe Biden, educator and activist.
The formal nomination will be tonight where the delegates will declare their nominee.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) faced backlash for her lack of support for Biden and Harris. She shared on social media her intentions to continue to back Sanders and his failed platforms.
Cindy McCain, the widow of the late U.S. Senator and former 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain. McCain made a surprise endorsement of Biden.
A good night ahead for the Democrats.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell who endorsed Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton previously is going to speak at the convention. The former Republican under George W. Bush has been frustrated with the direction the party's been going. He believes that Trump has done serious damaged to the party.
In a video that will be shown tonight, McCain shares her friendship with Biden and how her husband had decency and respect for the country he served. She said that difficult decisions cannot be blamed on others. She believes that Trump's actions caused great damage to the country.
Also the Republicans Against Trump organization has
There was a bipartisan report that showed Trump's 2016 former campaign manager Paul Manafort was engaging contact with members of the Russian Federation. They also claimed that Trump engaged in contact with Roger Stone when he got word Wikileaks was planning on dumping the emails of the DNC and Clinton chair John Podesta.
Donald Trump, Jr. had allegedly slept with Natalia Veselnitskya, the lawyer who met with Trump campaign advisors Jared Kushner and Manafort at Trump Tower.
Russia may have information on Trump that could blackmail him. The "golden showers" tape allegedly found in the Christopher Steele dossier has been one of the themes of Sean "Softball" Hannity's right wing carnival. Trump and Michael Cohen are at risk of blackmail due to their engagement with Russian women.

A star-studded lineup for the Republicans. The St. Louis couple who pointed firearms at protesters is invited to the event. Mr. Kevin and Mrs. Karen will have a voice in the shitshow of Donald J. Trump.
The couple who brandished firearms at peaceful protesters in St. Louis, Missouri will make a virtual appearance at the Republican National Convention.
The Donald J. Trump Presidential Campaign announced that the couple Mark and Patricia McCloskey will make an appearance during the week that Trump and Mike Pence accept their nomination for the Republican ticket.
The two are criminally under investigation for storming outside their home to intimidate peaceful protesters who were heading to the mayor's home.
The McCloskeys face felony charges for unlawful use of a weapon after confronting the protester in June. They maintain innocence and claim that they were defending their property and are not racist.
But the images show that they wanted to start trouble.
Trump pretty much defended their actions and believe that Black Lives Matter and Antifa were the real agitators in the situation. The protesters came through a private gate and walked down a private street to confront mayor Lyda Krewson.
They get rewarded for their incompetence.
Krewson is under fire for calling out protesters who want reforms within the St. Louis Police.
The McCloskeys, both in their 60s are personal injury attorneys. Their attorney who promises to deliver names. The lawyer accused Kim Gardner, the St. Louis prosecutor of siding with criminals and deviants.
Since the incident, Mark McCloskey appeared on far-right outlets to defend his actions. He is getting assistance from the likes of the alt-white.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The feds announced a break in the unsolved murder of Jam Master Jay.
The U.S. Justice Department announced the arrests of two terrorists involved in the killing of American rapper and DJ, Jam Master Jay.
Jam Master Jay was killed in October 2002 at his recording studio and the case remained a mystery until the feds broke the case and made arrests.
On Monday, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York unsealed an indictment against two men (who I won't name) in a murder plot that involved a drug dispute.
The two men were conspiring to kill Jam Master Jay (born Jason William Mizell), the hype man and producer of the iconic rap group Run-D.M.C.
The case was open for nearly 20 years.
Seth D. DuCharme, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District said law enforcement never gave up on finding the individuals involved in this senseless tragedy.
"It was important to us then and remains extremely important to us now to bring justice for the victim, his family, friends and the community that cared so much about those events," he said.
The news helps bring an end to the senseless killing of one of the most influential members of hip-hop.
He was a member of a rap group that broke the barriers of pushing hip-hop into the mainstream.
Run-D.M.C., Public Enemy, Eric B & Rakim, The Beastie Boys, Big Daddy Kane, Grandmaster Flash, Kool Moe Dee, LL Cool J, EPMD, DJ Kool Herc and Marley Mal were the legends of the rap game.
Jam Master Jay, Run (Joseph Simmons) and DMC (Darryl McDaniels) formed the group in 1981 and had rocked the mic for years. With Run and DMC rapping on the mic and Jay mixing the beats and turntables, the group succeed in making numerous hits.
Run-D.M.C. was the first hip-hop act to do a crossover hit with rockers Aerosmith. Their song, "Rock This Way" was a breakthrough hit. It's still a song that is played in many bars, weddings and a travel themed song.
The indictment alleges that Jam Master Jay was involved in trafficking the naro. The feds said that he was a part of a smuggling organization that had transported kilogram-quantities of cocaine between 1996 and 2002. Aside from the music career, the feds believe he was a runner for a known domestic terrorist group.
He acquired 10 kilograms of cocaine that was intended to be distributed by the terrorists. On the promise of getting some of the cut, Jam Master Jay allowed them to distribute the yayo out of his studio in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens.
So the two conspired to ambush Jay. On October 30, 2002, they broke down a door and open fire on Jay and another man. They managed to rob the men of their properties and took off into the darkness.
The alleged terrorist was only 17 or 18 at the time of the shooting and the other one was in his early 30s. The two were nabbed by the U.S. Marshals without a bullet fired.
The youngest is facing one count of conspiracy and seven counts of distribution of cocaine for alleged incidents in 2017. He was arrested on Sunday and pleaded not guilty on Monday in a court appearance from the federal time out.
Run-D.M.C. shortly broke up after the death of Jam Master Jay.
The oldest is facing a federal sandwich that could carry the death penalty. The Hobbs Act had got him in a bind. Not only he's a felon with disability, he is a known offender. He was convicted in 2007 for a string of stick ups and was sentenced to federal time out. He was close to being released from his 210 month bid in the federal time out. That's no longer the case.
The charges these two are facing could carry a LIFE or DEATH card if convicted in federal court.
The state of New York could push for state charges that could put the two in the iron college for LIFE.
They will serve the sentences concurrently.
Jay's family disputes the drug kingpin allegations.
Jam Master Jay helped build a career for a young Curtis James Jackson III.
Jackson is known as 50 Cent. Before he became the iconic rapper/business mogul/internet troll, 50 was this grimy hustler from Queens. He made the song called Ghetto Qu'ran which fingered the two and their boss Kenneth "Lord Supreme" McGriff. That led to the campaign by rival rapper Ja Rule to label 50 a "snitch."
McGriff was allegedly the man who helped Irving "Irv Gotti" and Chris "Chaz" Lorenzo start up the Murder, Inc. rap label.
The feds were on the case of the oldest terrorist. They believe he was the point man involved in the shooting of former Tupac Shakur associate Randy "Stretch" Walker, a member of the Thug Life posse. Tupac accused James "Jimmy Henchman" Rosemond and Sean "Puffy" Combs of conspiring a hit on him in 1994.
Tupac was gunned down in September 1996.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Puerto Rico governor Wanda Vázquez was defeated in a primary.
I am reminded that my Spanish is not perfect and I used Google Translate which is not completely accurate.
Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico
Known as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the self-governing unincorporated and organized territory's governor Wanda Vázquez Garced was brutally defeated in a primary to run for a full term.
Vázquez is identified as a New Progressive Party (Partido Nuevo Progresista) member and the Republican Party. She was defeated by former U.S. Representative/Resident Commissioner Pedro Rafael Pierluisi Urrutia in a primary upset. Pierluisi identifies as a member of the New Progressive Party and the Democratic Party.
With more than 66% of the vote, the Associated Press called the race for Pierluisi. He had received more than 58% of the vote compared to nearly 42% of the vote for Vázquez.
"We have to abide by the decision of the majority," Vázquez said in a brief speech where she warned her rival Pierluisi that he should "aspire" to have the support of those who voted for her. She will remain as the governor until the winner of the Puerto Rican general election on November 3.
Turmoils in Puerto Rico have affected the way of life.
Pierluisi spoke shortly after Vázquez and said the governor can count on him: "We all have to be united to push Puerto Rico forward."
Vázquez was facing a lot of pressure shortly after taking office. She was not popular. A reporter and a group of activists uncovered a hidden bunker full of supplies. She knew of its existence and became the anchor that sank her campaign chances.
The U.S. territory has experienced a whole lot of problems since the Hurricane Maria tragedy. The island faced some of the worst damage in modern history. Over 3,800 Americans died from that hurricane. Donald J. Trump continues to claim that the territory got billions in government aid and stated that he would be willing to give up the territory for Greenland.
No he was not joking.
The New Progressive Party is hoping to convince the U.S. Congress to approve statehood. The Republicans are against granting statehood to Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. They are against establishing voting rights for those living in the U.S. territories.
Those living in Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands can not vote in the presidential election. They can only pick their presidential nominee for the Democratic National and Republican National Conventions. They have U.S. Representatives who are non-voting delegates to the House. The resident commissioner of Puerto Rico is a four year term as a U.S. Representative.
Pierluisi will face off against Charlie Delgado (born Carlos Delgado Altier), the current mayor of the city of Isabela. He is a member of the Popular Democratic Party (Partido Popular Democrático).
Former U.S. Representative and residential commissioner Pedro Pierluisi will face his opponent in the general.
The Popular Democratic Party advocates for self-governance with bond to the United States. Puerto Rico is considered semi-autonomous but not recognized as a country. The residents of the territory are U.S. citizens. The territory's majority speaks mostly Spanish.
Delgado defeats San Juan mayor and Trump critic Carmen Yulín Cruz Soto. Delgado won with 60% of the vote.
The results came one week after delayed and missing ballots led to a chaotic primary that forced a second round of voting on Sunday in which thousands of Puerto Ricans got a second chance to vote for the first time.
Voting centers in nearly 50 of the island's 78 municipalities opened following a recent Supreme Court decision that stated a second round of voting would take place at centers that never opened on August 9 or did not remain open the required eight hours.
With the coronavirus pandemic spreading across the island, many were forced to do in-person voting which is a problem here in the states. Trump is trying to stop mail-in voting by cutting the U.S. Postal Service budget and forcing states to scale back ballots being sent to homes.
The general election will have six candidates running for the U.S. territory.
Pierluisi had served as governor of the territory for only one week before Vázquez assumed power.
Ricardo "Ricky" Antonio Rosselló Nevares was forced to resign due to his handling during the Hurricane Maria crisis. He was caught on camera bashing residents and saying that he and Trump done more for these "ungrateful assholes."
The territory's residents wants elections commission president Juan Ernesto Dávila Rivera to resign after he failed to protect the elections.
Many residents believe that the failure to handling voting is a sign of what the states are going to face if they're not prepared.
Puerto Ricans had to wait for hours in the sun to vote. Even in a pandemic, residents had to vote.
Many states are not prepared for the influx of mail-in votes. With the pandemic an ongoing issue, Trump is trying to carry on a "normal" life despite COVID-19 killing over 200,000 Americans.
We have over 7 million Americans affected by the coronavirus. We have over 35 million Americans out of work. We have gun violence almost everyday in the United States. We have millions facing eviction from their homes due to the CARES Act not being extended by the U.S. Senate. We have civil unrest in the United States as well as Puerto Rico.
California, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Arizona, Puerto Rico, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Washington and Oklahoma have seen a huge increase in coronavirus cases.
Trump is too busy golfing and tweeting insults and conspiracy theories on social media to be worried about the problems America is facing. He has built his presidency on divisiveness and deception.
Puerto Ricans are paying the price for a Trump presidency as well.
Opening night for the Democrats. A time to show and prove.
WEAR THE DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!
Showtime. Joe Biden's nights to shine. He will certainly need the momentum. Cause it's going to be an uphill climb despite the polls saying he's leading.
Ignore the polls. The polls don't mean shit. It's the electoral college. If Biden can't win 270 electoral votes, he will not become the president. His rival is going in with enthusiasm despite his failures.
Enthusiasm is going to be key for the Democrats to win. They certainly need it given that politics has become so fucking toxic. With the stakes so high, the Democrats must be united in this fight. If not, we're going to have another term (or longer) of Donald J. Trump.
Trump has signalled he will not leave peacefully nor leave after a second term. Don't take it as a joke.
The Democrats will gather for a virtual rally. It was supposed to be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin but due to the coronavirus pandemic, Democrats have scrapped a full-scale convention and it will be held virtual.
Can Bernie Sanders bring his flock to the fold?
Former vice president Joseph Robinette Biden who ran for president twice before will finally get an opportunity to show and prove to the world that he could lead this nation in troubling times. He will have his running mate, California senator Kamala Devi Harris nominated as the vice presidential nominee.
He will have a lot of guests attending. Some will be Republicans and of course, leftists are upset.
Who will get the most attention at DNC Night One?
On Monday night.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)
Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV)
Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan
Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC)
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS)
Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI)
Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL)
Leon Bridges, R&B singer, songwriter and producer
Billy Porter, LGBTQ activist, singer, actor and television personality
Stephen Stills, instrumentalist, singer and songwriter.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)
Michelle Obama, former First Lady, podcaster, activist and wife of Barack Obama.
Some of the leftists are complaining about former Ohio governor John Kasich speaking at the Democratic National Convention. If you ask me, being an Ohioan, I think it was a great idea.
Kasich who was governor of Ohio from 2011-2019 was controversial during his first term. But when Barack Obama won Ohio in the reelection, Kasich saw the writing on the wall and moderated.
Democrats are counting on independents and disgruntled Republicans like John Kasich.
When he came into office, he was disliked. Yeah, he turned down funds for high speed rail. He tried to dismantle public unions and sign off on legislation that made conception within less than two months. All of those issues were appealing to the Tea Party, a far-right grassroots movement that led us to Donald J. Trump.
Kasich who eventually became a moderate won reelection with 40% of the Black vote. Yes, a Republican in a swing state won reelection easily. You can't make this shit up. Kasich had deep respect for Obama and Biden. He felt that Trump has abandoned the principles of the Republican Party.
He said that it's reckless to allow Trump continue the country on this path. He would be a great investment to helping the Democrats win the state of Ohio.
It would be interesting if Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) did a last minute endorsement for Biden.
Romney who was the 2012 rival respected Obama and Biden. They at least had respect for one another unlike their mutual disdain for Trump.
The event is going to be streamed online.
Who will make the night?
Will it be Bernie Sanders, Andrew Cuomo, Michelle Obama, Doug Jones or Jim Clyburn?
Trump doesn't seem to care about the pandemic. He travels to swing states to undermine Joe Biden.
WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!
Donald J. Trump will appear in Mankato, Minnesota and Oshkosh, Wisconsin to generate buzz. He will once again put the lives of thousands at risk of the coronavirus. He will also troll the opening night of the virtual Democratic National Convention in attempt to undermine his rival Joe Biden.
Again, ignoring the advice of his White House Coronavirus Task Force, Trump continues to campaign. After the infamous Tulsa, Oklahoma rally, Trump is taking the necessary steps to prevent a disappointment.
He threatened to ban TikTok.
Social media had sabotaged his rallies by falsely registering for tickets and not showing up.
Donations are heading to the Biden campaign. Now that he's picked California senator Kamala Harris, the Biden team had earned millions of campaign cash soon after the announcement was made.
Trump is still riding on the culture war. Instead of calling it the culture war, it should be called an attempt at appealing to white nationalist with distractions.
During his arrival he will be attacking Biden, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), the junk food media, the United States Postal Service, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and entities who spurned him.
He will address the death of his brother Robert and how he's done so much for the Black and Hispanic communities.
Doing rallies despite the risk of COVID-19. His supporters will spread the coronavirus.
He will talk about his border wall, mail-in votes, opening up schools and face masks.
Trump will not mention how his handling of a major pandemic crushed his economy.
All I can tell you in real time, that 6.8 million people are infect with the coronavirus. Over 200,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus. There are over 35 million Americans unemployed in the United States. Companies are going out of business left and right. We have civil unrest in many of America's municipalities. We are less than three months away from the U.S. Elections and we're not prepared for the possibility of election tampering from foreign entities. We are not prepared for mail-in ballots or absentee ballots. We are having a food crisis due to the coronavirus.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Over 103 people have died a day because of gun violence.
We are really having a moment where the world is on fire and Donald J. Trump is just playing golf or rambling about how everyone who doesn't support his ass is anti-American.
Here's where Trump called the coronavirus a hoax. In South Carolina, Trump, Kayleigh McEnany, Diamond & Silk and others were trashing the Democrats and saying that the coronavirus was an attempt to undermine Trump.
