Help the Flip

law professor, engineer and former State Representative, Bohannan lost to the MAGA incumbent by only 799 votes in a district that Trump won by 8 points. Indeed, Christina got 30,000 Trump voters to vote for her. She says, "Dems are far more motivated [here] and Trump's misguided policies are doing enormous harm to IA and everyone dependent on the farm economy." This is a ready-flip-seat.

Update: Iowa's June 2 primary brought good omens: the Trump-backed gubernatorial candidate lost, Rob Sand (Dem) leads governor polls, and Democrat Josh Turek won the Iowa Senate primary — "we are not a red state, we are a commonsense state." All of this bodes well for Christina in November.

a military veteran and "Arizona Tough", faces MAGA extremist Juan Ciscomani, who won by only 2.5 points in 2024. This is the former Gabby Giffords seat and has 80,000 veterans (Sen. Mark Kelly overperformed in this district) and a 25 percent Hispanic population (Sen. Ruben Gallego also overperformed). She is a standout among eight Democrats in the primary.

Update: See an interview with Jonathan Capehart subbing for Lawrence O'Donnell on "The Last Word."

six-year Mayor of Scranton, re-elected twice, moved her city from junk-bond status to investment grade in just that time. Her freshman MAGA extremist opponent won on Trump's coattails by 1.6 points while Trump won by 8.5 points. Paige's opponent is one of the most prolific stock traders in Congress, in blatant contrast to his promises to his MAGA base. A flip waiting to happen.

Update: "Paige against the machine" — CNN interview with Paige Cognetti, May 20.

lost to gun-obsessed Scott Perry by just 1.2%. For 30 years, Central PA and the state capitol, have trusted her broadcast journalism. PA-10's Democratic prospects now enjoy a new governor, Josh Shapiro, running atop the same ticket. Janell has been listening and telling the stories of PA families for decades and is ready to flip her district on our behalf.

Update: Janelle won the Pennsylvania Democratic primary on May 19 and advances to a rematch against Republican incumbent Scott Perry — the same race she lost by only 5,000 votes in 2024.

younger and only ending his first term, Jon is keeping his conflicted Republican primary field of opponents within the margin of error in a state that still tries to suppress the votes of his supporters. MLK's voters and John Lewis' voters and a lot of progressive Georgians (D&R) are up against a muscular MAGA machine. Georgia Senate is a toss-up, y'all.

Update: Lawrence O'Donnell speaks with Jon Ossoff about winning the Georgia Democratic primary on May 15.

can win this race because he runs for the seat held briefly by JD "coat tails" Vance. MAGA appointed John "corruption-indicted" Husted, to JD-sycophant-Vance's seat. Brown's lifelong theme is "The Dignity of Work.' He will lead our party to the working class, a new middle class, and more poverty reduction in America. 2024 will be a brief coattails-be-damned hiccup in Sharrod's stellar service on behalf of the rest of us.

Update: A June 4 Fox News poll — not your usual source of good news for Democrats — shows Ohio's Senate race is competitive. Encouraging news for Sherrod Brown.

N Carolinians, D&R, are used to voting for Roy. He term-limited as Governor and runs now on account of the Trump danger. It's a winning combination when added to an enlivened Democratic Party. For the first time in years, it's running in every election on the entire down-ballot, no exceptions. Opponent Watley, a MAGA-DC lobbyist, is unknown even in GOP circles in NC. Care to help NC become our next battleground?

Update: Maryland Governor Wes Moore and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker are out on the trail stumping for Roy Cooper.

Mary will win this, and you will love doing it. She served 10 years in Alaska's House starting when she was 24. She won a special election to become AK's sole US Congressperson when her predecessor died in a plane accident. On the stump she admired both her R and D all-Alaska predecessors, but she beat MAGA Sara Palin fair and square. Her opponent opposed Trump until he supported Trump, both with gusto.

Update: Mary Peltola is coming to Santa Fe — meet her in person and support her campaign for Alaska's US Senate seat!
