Last month, I went to Arizona to try to gain insight into one of the most closely watched Democrats in the Senate. No, not Joe Manchin, but Kyrsten Sinema, who had just incensed the left with the way she handled a minimum-wage vote. A 🧵on what I learned: https://t.co/LfeSVJO8KY — PolitiTweet.org

McCarthy and his fellow Republicans are making a gamble: They’re betting the House on Trump’s election myth. But, while more than half of Rs believe 2020 results due to some type of voter fraud, independent and crossover voters are less likely to buy it. https://t.co/4XC6Li9csq — PolitiTweet.org

House GOP ousted Cheney as third-ranking Republican on Wednesday & installed Stefanik on Friday — it nothing to do with their policy positions and everything to do with whether they defer to the election-fraud myth perpetuated by the former president https://t.co/4XC6Li9csq — PolitiTweet.org

Few career arcs in Washington better illuminate what it takes to survive and thrive in Donald Trump’s remade Republican Party than those of Liz Cheney and Elise Stefanik in the House of Representatives 🧵 https://t.co/4XC6Li9csq — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans have their #VAgov candidate, Democrats vote on June 8. Both Jennifer Carroll Foy & Jennifer McClellan are vying to be the county's first Black woman governor. But first they must take on former Gov. Terry McAuliffe. .@19thnews from Virginia: https://t.co/MBSqOrHVXy — PolitiTweet.org

Polls have shown McAuliffe with a commanding lead. But as of May 12, only about 31k ballots had voted early. Roughly 540k Democrats voted in the 2017 gubernatorial primary. This race is not over, according to @JCarrollFoy @JennMcClellanVA https://t.co/MBSqOrql60 — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

Virginia’s dearth of women in statewide office prompted @SusanPlattVA to co-found @HERexcellencyVA. Platt believes a “capable woman … would have a better chance of motivating the electorate” than McAuliffe come November. https://t.co/MBSqOrql60 — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

Both @JCarrollFoy and @JennMcClellanVA are running as changemakers who would challenge the state’s status quo: VA is one of the 20 states that have not elected a woman governor, nor have they elected a woman to the lieutenant position or to the US Senate. https://t.co/MBSqOrql60 — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

Carroll Foy also received one of the most coveted endorsements in Democratic politics from @emilyslist — they too stayed on the sidelines at first because “when there are two, strong, pro-choice Democratic women in a race, that’s a good problem to have.” https://t.co/MBSqOrql60 — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

But @HigherHeightPAC sees “movement building” in the final stretch of the campaign, Carr said, and decided to endorse Carroll Foy in the hope of influencing the outcome of the primary https://t.co/MBSqOrql60 — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

Initially, @HigherHeightPAC, a groups supporting Black women candidates, stayed neutral between Carroll Foy and McClellan because they wanted to “normalize having multiple Black women in a contest like this,” CEO Glynda Carr told me. https://t.co/MBSqOrql60 — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

It has been an uphill battle for them to seriously dent support for former McAuliffe, a former DNC chair and longtime adviser to the Clintons who came into the race with a significant war chest https://t.co/MBSqOrql60 — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

Carroll Foy, a former state delegate, and McClellan, a current state senator, are both vying to be elected the first Black woman governor in the country, and Virginia’s first woman governor https://t.co/MBSqOrql60 — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

I went to Virginia last wknd to watch @JCarrollFoy & @JennMcClellanVA campaign to be the Democratic gubernatorial nominee. Both are vying to be the first Black woman in a governor's mansion. A quick🧵on a race that has been focused on Terry McAuliffe: https://t.co/MBSqOrHVXy — PolitiTweet.org
