Kudos to @juliewattsTV for how she handled this interview

Porter: “I don’t want to have an unhappy experience with you.” Reporter: “I don’t want to have an unhappy experience with you, either.”



We contacted all 100 Dems running for a seat in VA’s House of Delegates to ask about Jay Jones’ campaign. Most didn’t respond. Some hung up on us. Others compared the texts to The Office. In short: Democrats really don’t want to talk about Jay Jones - washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

The current shutdown debate is marred by the personal politics of all the lawmakers involved. But few are more compelling -- or complex -- than Sen. Chuck Schumer, a politician with four decades of experience inside a party desperate for new leadership: washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…


We contacted the campaigns of major Democratic candidates in a dozen Senate races, including the nine more competitive. None of the candidates or their reps explicitly said they would support Schumer for leader in the next Congress if they win their respective contests.
