Jeffries and Clark, both in their 50s, with Clark the older, and in his 40s, the first Hispanic to take a lead, Mr. Aguilar is only 43
Good luck.....gonna be two stagnant years of arguments, red vs. blue, two years of them trying to undo all that's been accomplished.
I don't have much faith in the Republican strategy - they have behaved badly for the last two years - they haven't learned this is not how most of us want our governing body to behave - they get all the crappy sound bites - but what they've accomplished will not go down in history. This party and their followers love to blame and find fault over and over, but they did not accomplish much when they did have control of the house and the senate, and they had a Republican president - I don't see these next two years doing much for their side of the aisle.

West Virginia state Democrat Sen. Glenn Jeffries has switched to the Republican Party, resulting in the GOP getting a majority in the chamber. Jeffries in his announcement Thursday appeared to avoid any partisan explanation for his switch. “Our politics have gotten so personal and difficult," he said. "I want to make sure that I serve constituents and our state in a respectful, thoughtful way that leads to a better life for all West Virginians." The Putnam County Republican Executive Committee first announced Jeffries' switch and welcomed him into the entire state GOP party. "Senator Jeffries has proven himself to be a very hard worker for Putnam County," said Tony Hodge, the committee chairman and co-chairman of the state party. Forging ahead! You win some and you lose some.
I wonder when the other senator from W.Va., Joe Manchin, will switch parties? I just read there are talk of him running for President in 2024.
The trumpsters stick around here for a while, but as it becomes more and more obvious just what he is and what he does--they soon depart. I'm sure that the present cultist will be gone pretty soon. It just becomes ridiculous to try and defend the right wing and DJT eventually.
Its a full moon tonight I wonder what Herschel Walker will be doing now that he's no longer a candidate for Senate
