3 years later, post-financial crisis, Reid ushered President Obama’s agenda through the Senate. They had some big wins, including an $800B stimulus, the ACA, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform bill, the end of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell and SCOTUS confirmation of Sotomayor and Kagan. — PolitiTweet.org

If Mike Pence runs in 2024, he'd either face his old running mate, or his old running mate’s withering scorn. This year Pence began to prepare himself for that challenge, delicately distancing himself from Trump and redefining his political persona. https://t.co/dZ0aB051Kd — PolitiTweet.org
