BOOM: Harris Boosts Democrats’ Momentum in the House

The House is no longer a toss-up; it leans Democrats

The one number Trump and MAGA world desperately wanted — a dip in job numbers that could assist the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates and claim victory in the fight against inflation without hurting the economy — didn’t materialize.

All they can come up with is the usual MAGA attack on Truth. One GOP Senator who dreams of leading this country some day called the job numbers fake.

In the alternate universe they’ve created, Mississippi, a state they’ve governed for 20 consecutive years, would be number one in the U.S. by GDP per capita. In reality, it’s last. They won’t mention Mississippi’s high school dropout rates, but they’ve mastered the art of keeping Democrats on the defensive about the economy, despite the Democrats’ actual achievements.

That’s the kind of record anyone can run on and win. But Democrats have never effectively communicated what they have accomplished and what they plan to do in the future. They can’t convey their message, and they never learn.
