Democratic heavyweights seek mobilization in major states’ cities to try to maintain control of the Senate
Four US states — Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania — offer the Democratic Party the only chance of redemption in Tuesday’s election, which is to retain control of the Senate. If the message is delivered that what is at stake in the polls is in fact democracy itself, Philadelphia is once again at the center of history.
While Rocky climbed the stairs to come back into the final fight and the founding fathers signed the Constitution, Barack Obama and Joe Biden were there on Saturday, giving their all in their final argument to convince those who were already convinced that each of them must lead them to vote at least five known. And nowhere is your neighbor more likely to be on the streets than in the big cities, where Democrats have their stronghold and whose votes are just as important as nationwide in the Senate battle. On the other hand, prove that the party’s barons give up the lower house.
“If the Democrats vote, the Democrats win!” New York Governor Kathy Hochul encourages at the rallies, which Biden joined yesterday in Yonkers, half an hour from the Big Apple. The day before, in Brooklyn, she was supported by former President Bill Clinton and two days earlier by his wife, Hillary Clinton, along with Vice President Kamala Harris. Everyone has their strategy. Hillary reminds them that they cannot take current rights for granted. Just think of abortion, which the Supreme Court rejected last June. Had she gotten a handful of votes more in Pennsylvania in 2016, Donald Trump wouldn’t have appointed three of the nine ultra-conservative judges sitting on that court, and abortion would still be legal across the country. “Voting is important,” he emphasizes. And to remember who will be next, according to Judge Clarence Thomas’ directions in the abortion verdict, the New York governor paid a visit to the historic Stonewall bar in New York’s West Village on Saturday. The fight for the rights of homosexuals and transsexuals began there in 1969, after a police raid that ended in a battle. At the time, “disguising” as someone of the opposite sex was a crime even in New York.
“This is serious!” cried Bill Clinton on Saturday with a bang on stage. No other county in the country has more Democratic density than New York and yet the polls don’t give the governor the 35% she needs in the city to offset the rural appeal of her rival, Lee Zeldin. “I’m frustrated,” the former president confessed, “and I’m too old to be frustrated! I’m not running for anything except for the future of my grandchildren,” he added.
The union workers who brought the Brooklyn Studios building to life listened to him. During an unexpectedly warm weekend in November, only the press and Democratic Party pawns came to mobilize the vote around to listen to him. Two hours later, Barack Obama recalled the ramifications for his presidency of losing both houses in the midterm elections that followed the 2008 mortgage crisis. do much. I don’t usually look back, but sometimes I think about how it could have been. Imagine if we could have passed the 2011 immigration reform or gun control legislation. How many deaths would have been prevented!
The list of achievements is told by Biden, from lowering the price of drugs to canceling some of the student debt, not to mention the infrastructure plan, the lowest level of unemployment in more than half a century or the first major law on gun control in nearly 30 years. “If you vote, it can do a lot more, but it depends on you,” warned Obama, the star of the party, who was able to fit 7,000 people into the Philadelphia pavilion.
Biden has been constrained in his first two years by the Solomonic division of the Senate into equal parts, which was broken only by the unity of the party and the casting vote of the vice president. His dream was to keep those seats and put John Fetterman in the seat vacated by Republican Senator Pat Tomey of Pennsylvania. That summer dream seemed possible in August, but inflation continued to soar, utility bills skyrocketed and the Federal Reserve aggressively raised interest rates to the highest level in more than two decades.
The price of mortgages is already above 7%. In a matter of two months, the advantage that the Democratic candidates of the four key states had at best technically remained the same, as has happened with a dozen seats in the House of Representatives and even in the governments of states like Michigan, where the governor appoints the Secretary of State, who is responsible for the elections. More than 345 deniers still not accepting that a Biden victory over Trump would lead the next election.
Low involvement
Yes, midterm elections are important, even though turnout has traditionally fallen 16.4%, according to Inside Elections, but this year “the truth is on the list!” Obama spoke. “And facts, and logic, and reason, and basic decency, democracy itself is on the list! We play a lot! At home, his wife is the most pessimistic. When Michelle reads the papers and becomes demoralized, Barack cheers her up.” you’ll see,” he said. “And I really do, but only if you vote.”
