Apologies if this was posted elsewhere, I couldn't see anything on it.

My guess is Speaker Pelosi advised her that the votes/momentum wasn't there for this to happen and they wanted to nip it in the bud before it gained too much traction nationally.

About time.

It would have been an interesting floor vote to follow and analyze - even if it failed overwhelmingly - but as always, Leadership is afraid of tough votes. This is really an indictment of the closed or heavily structured process the house operates under these days where everything is carefully evaluated with political considerations (i.e. will this help us win the next election) prioritized high high above the truth of the matter or the actual needs of the populace.

Hopefully Hart will soundly defeat Meeks in 2022.

[President Johnson]

Too bad, but the right decision at this point.

[SnowLabrador]

Too bad, but the right decision at this point.

bye felicia

[Pheurton Skeurto]

Good. What a stupid waste of time.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

The democrat attempt to overturn an election has come to an end.

Yeah like Trump, Mr Pillow Guy says Trump will be back by August

[MT Treasurer]

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

Good. The votes clearly weren't there, nor should they have been. Election disputes should be settled by the courts and election boards.

[WD]

Except she’ll do atleast 25-30 points worst than Blanche...

[VAR]

Iowa Republicans may have won the battle, but when She returns, they will lose the war. Badly.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

D's can just run against her again, so they aren't losing anything.

There maybe split voting like in 2018 Reynolds winning and D's winning IA House we don't know yet how big the D wave will be but a D- 2-4 pts is reasonable

And with that, the GOP officially won every single House race that had been rated as a "Tossup" (which is seriously pathetic & a sign of how far the Democrats should be - &, to our credit, are - going in terms of delivering real legislative results).

The Democrats will not have both Legislative Chambers in Washington come January 2nd 2023. It will likely be like the Obama Years with Democrats potentially having the Senate and Republicans controlling the House by a bigger margin compared what Democrats have now.

Time to reel in President Biden & his Socialistic Cohorts Kamala, Nancy and Schumer.

If you think Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, & Chuck Schumer are "socialists," then you don't understand what that word means.

[JMT]

I wonder if Hart will run again in 2022? Or what IA-02 will look like after redistricting?

[Joe Haydn]

Terrible news! If you're a Democrat and you support this, shame on you! You're not going to have to spend two years, and possibly a lot longer, being represented by an illegitimate Congresswoman.

[JoeInator]

To be honest, I didn't know this was still going on. I thought the challenge was withdrawn a while ago.

"Creeping socialization"--or "creeping socialism"--those are the words that give the game away. Socialism--sometimes "creeping" and sometimes "galloping"--is the slogan and patented trademark of the special interest lobbies. Socialism is the epithet they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years. Now listen to this:

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called farm price supports.

Socialism is what they called bank deposit insurance.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for anything that helps all the people.

Now, my friends, when the Republican candidate inscribes the slogan "Down with Socialism" on the banner of his great crusade, that is really not what he means at all. What he really means is "Down with Progress," down with the New Deal and down with the Fair Deal. That's what the objective of the great crusade is now. Don't you fool yourselves.
