New York Times: “Three veteran Democrats in safe seats who tended to vote with the GOP all lost their primaries by as much as 48 points, as their challengers promised to push back harder against Republicans’ steamrolling approach to legislating. Five Republican incumbents were also swept from the State Legislature.”

1. Dem Party Chair Anderson Clayton is amazing!

She and the NCDP Executive Council denied these traitors access to VoteBuilder, a crucial voter data and campaign organizing database that the party typically provides to candidates.

We need more in our party who are willing to take out the brass knuckles!!

And she is only 28. One of our next gen powerhouse democrats who are going to remake the party for the better!
