"SNIP.........

Ron Brownstein: “President Joe Biden’s breakthrough 2020 wins in Arizona and Georgia seemed to confirm that the party’s future was increasingly reliant on Sun Belt states rapidly growing more racially diverse.”

“But seven months before his rematch with presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump, Biden’s most promising path may run directly through the three Rust Belt states that he recaptured in 2020 after Trump dislodged them from the “blue wall” in 2016: Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. That’s the conclusion of a broad array of Democratic strategists.”

Today's ruling in Arizona to go to a law that predates statehood should win AZ for Dems.

Hopefully, Biden clean sweeps the upper rust belt as well as rethugs fall over themselves to outMAGAt and out rule each other in primary after primary

Before Virginia, we needed to win Ohio or Florida as well.
