Sanders’ beef with the drug pricing proposal: “This thing will only apply to a certain number of jobs.” He adds it won’t take effect until 2026. “So it's a weak proposal. Is better than nothing? I suppose,” he says. “But we’re dealing with the power of pharma over the Congress.” — PolitiTweet.org

.@BernieSanders on the drug pricing policy Senate Democrats are moving thorough reconciliation: “It’s a very weak proposal. It goes nowhere near as far as it should.” He says Medicare must be allowed to negotiate with drug companies VA-style. — PolitiTweet.org

So Democrats are propelling a Trumpy candidate in a GOP primary versus @RepMeijer, a rare R who voted to impeach Trump. It’s a redrawn D+3 district (per 538) in a rough D year. Maybe it flips the seat to Ds. Or DCCC will have helped a far-right candidate become a congressman. — PolitiTweet.org

Speaking of @SherrodBrown — the only Democrat who has won statewide in Ohio post-2012 — I asked him last year how he still wins there amid the state’s red turn. Here’s what he said: https://t.co/J1F91it1us — PolitiTweet.org

This is a common response when one points out Ohio’s red tilt. But talented incumbents who suit their state can overcome headwinds. Jon Tester wins in MT. Nobody disputes that’s a red state. Joe Manchin wins in WV. It’s not impossible; it’s a very tall order. — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Ohio has tilted red since Trump came on the scene and there’s a simple, logical explanation: It has a large share of non-college white voters, who have abandoned Democrats in droves and show little to no interest in returning. 2020 polls there were 7+ points off: https://t.co/pCByDEhYKS — PolitiTweet.org
