(4,500 posts)to turn out voters!!! Not just advertising, but for GOTV operations. The Republican Party in my state of Michigan is BROKE right now, and their big donors in this state are not kicking in so far, have indeed been chased away by the MAGAt wing.
Women and young people carried our party to victory in the 22 midterms in Michigan, by 11 points for the Governor's re-election, and took over the state government for the first time in 40 years! (in the year of the "Red Wave midterm fantasy" )
I don't think those voters are going to stay home in "Rovember," and Democrats have been over-performing in all the special and off-year elections.
We have all that in our favor, to start with---
but with Michigan, Arizona and possibly other state GOP parties in bad financial condition,
and Trump now sucking up ALL of the money from the National GOP,
this is not going to be a "level playing field" for Republicans in 2024!
Wish I could cite a link here, but it was a story on my phone's newsapp--
There is a pro-Biden PAC which is committed to spending $250 million in advertising on this election!
That's more than twice as much money as President Biden and the Trump campaign now have as cash on hand, put together!
I'd rather be US than the Republicans right now,
even if they currently look better in *some* polls---
(and I think that will change before November!)
