Their home state…
Me thinks you are claiming power that is ephemeral for the Bushes

Are you familiar with Pennsylvania, particularly Western Pennsylvania? The people can be provincial. Like Ultra-Super-Mega Provincial 5000, to the fifth power. And Oz is an outsider. And no, that isn't something that only white supremacists care about.

With the vast majority (and questionable margins) coming from Phillie. Don't count on 'oh we found some more ballot boxes overnight' again.

Both Philadelphia and Pittsburgh have trouble keeping schools open due to the lack of air conditioning and yet have 'extra' money in budget. Heck they couldve' purchased 100s of window units didn't even have to get into duct work etc.

Giving away 'spare' money in an election year? Coincidence?
By these states do you include Arizona who tried to use COVID monies to get workers back to work with a $1,000 bonus for taking a job last year? If not, that is disingenuous since they are doing the same as Pennsylvania did. Plus the fact that did nothing for workers who stayed on the job during the pandemic whether they were essential or temporarily furloughed or previously rejoined the workforce... Can't knock one without ignoring the other.

If the COVID monies is indeed going to stimulus for the inflation and it is not allowed, that is not cool. As an educator, I wish schools could have AC. It is hard to teach in a classroom that is too hot, period. That said, it should have to wait for COVID monies being available.

Democrat senate candidate Fetterman now says he can't debate because of his stroke.

https://freebeacon.com/elections/fet...assive-stroke/

So how he is going to discuss issues with his staff and constituents. The voters have to realize they won't be getting Fetterman or any ill candidate they will be getting that political party and staffers. Delegation of their duties on a massive scale. I get it party hardliners have no problem but independents or party members that wanted something different are going to get the DNC or intern making policy for them.

And that is a gift for Oz, he won't gaffe himself and show how out of touch he is.

He’s such a clown. He can campaign but not debate. Mom and dad probably told him don’t do it.
