Alot of working poor have stopped donating to Ds since Covid 19 that otherwise would have donated. This has affected fundraising in KS, MT and MA Primary Senate with Joe Kennedy whom were breaking records on fundraising before Covid 19. Coincidentally,  Bullock, whom is down, not out to Daines, only jumped into race when Biden was the apparent nominee, but seem to be losing to Daines by 2 to 3 pts.

Middle class are still donating but selectively to candidates,  otherwise Pelosi ad on Facebook wouldnt have been taken down asking for donations.

Joe Kennedy,  Bollier and Bullock since Covid 19 whom were bragging about fundraising have not shown any internal polls showing themselves ahead of their challengers

I'm a Muslim, but I'm very disappointed in Tlaib and Omar. It's not that they differ on some opinions with the majority of the Dem caucus, it's their manner and how they conduct themselves. Having a broader spectrum within a caucus is a net positive overall, especially since 200+ members represent very different constituencies. I also miss a more clear red line when it comes antisemitism with regard to Tlaib and Omar. I don't like what the Israeli govt is doing on a lot of things, but that criticism is purely based on politics rather than religion. Latter shouldn't play a role in politics and be a private issue instad (I know, it's wishful thinking). So if I was living in her district, I wouldn't vote for her in the primary, tbh. I certainly wish there are Muslims in congress and other public offices, but issues and conduct in general are more important than religion.

Anyway, Tlaib's non-endorsement won't change anything about this election. It may even help since the GOP is trying to portray Biden as puppet of the "radical left" since they can't accuse Biden himself of being a socialist.

Y'all know that if Tlaib endorsed formally, every single person here complaining would be hand-wringing about how it would hurt Biden.

Tlaib DID endorse Biden sub silentio.  She stated she is going to work to get him elected.  What more says "endorsement" than that?

Honestly, I've never seen anything like that.  The normal M.O. of pols who don't like the top of their ticket is to make some tepid endorsement, or (even weaker) state that they're "voting for the ticket" but not campaigning for the ticket.  This was the model of Jimmy Carter of 1972 with McGovern, or Joe Frank Harris in 1984 with Mondale.  This is the reverse; this is like the 1972 Carter saying he's not endorsing McGovern, but goes out and works the crowd to vote for him.  I really think that this is something new under the sun.
