The left throwing in with Van Hollen—boomer child of diplomats and career politician who has been in elected office consistently since 1991—is just deeply deeply funny to me.
And I mean this with no disrespect to CVH. It’s just odd how convenient things suddenly become.

The gaps here are not all that large in the scheme of things but people who can’t tell the truth about it aren’t good people to entrust with power over complicated policy questions or political strategy.
The Democratic primary for president in Michigan specifically is going to be a fucking horror show
Abdul El-Sayed says he'll "dog" 2028 hopefuls "up and down the state" of Michigan if they don't embrace Medicare for All
El-Sayed: "It's important to me that I've got a governing partner. I'm going to do what I can to make sure that I get one."

El-Sayed fought the Dem establishment to a draw vs a weak candidate in the primary, and all he did last week was carry a blue state that hasn’t sent a R to the Senate since 94. He’s a freshman in a caucus of 56, has zero influence, doesn’t matter whom he wants for Majority Leader
.@AbdulElSayed was the first to call for Van Hollen for Senate leader. If it works, he will have:
âś… Beat dem establishment in primary
âś… Beat GOP establishment in general
âś… Led a change in Dem leadership
All before being sworn in. That's some damn leadership.

Watching the Left’s descent into madness over the Democrats’ victories all over the country has been fascinating to watch.
It’s clear from all their talking points that they were not expecting us to win at these levels.
They’re malfunctioning. They think screaming “AIPAC” “corporations” and “genocide” is going to change things.

This should leave no doubt that Hakeem Jeffries will be the next Speaker. They’re not even entertaining the possibility of someone else.
These folks talked a big game about AIPAC, taking on the Democratic Party establishment and passing M4A. Now they’re basically saying, “Well, we just want good ideas.”
They sobered up real quick and now they’re at odds with what DSA supporters are demanding.
Welcome to the establishment!

What they wanted was for AES to be the 50th vote, so he could play the role of Manchin and repeatedly hold the entire Senate hostage over "Palestine" and M4A. But since he'll be 1 one of 56 or so, all of his DSA antics can be ignored.

So Mamdani’s “king-making” plan is to have a dud Union president run since AOC won’t do it and no one likes Ro Khanna? Okay lol
Playbook reported in August that the Left bench had few options if AOC doesn’t run…. And that the Shawn Fain had already been approached about 2028 and in private didn’t rule it out
Now he’s set to meet with Mamdani

This makes me tremendously happy not just because of the numbers but because of the quality. It’s a very impressive and interesting bunch of people.

It’s great that leftists have decided they like these guys but then you can’t have a days long meltdown over the fact that candidates who didn’t run as Medicare For All supporters don’t support Medicare for All — Hinojosa wouldn’t even support an income tax!
Do progressives know that Chris Van Hollen didn’t burnish progressive credentials until he went to Venezuela/wrote an op-ed proclaiming Gaza was a 2028 litmus test? Dude’s family came over on the Mayflower basically. He’s an old monied white patrician who’s trying to fit in

He has Ro Khanna. What more could you ask for?
Axios: Mamdani's bid for 2028 kingmaker
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani can't be president, so he's trying to be the next best thing: a progressive kingmaker for 2028.
Mamdani has been meeting privately with union leaders, urgently talking up the need for a labor-aligned or leftist candidate to run for the White House, four people familiar with the talks told Axios.

The idea that Josh Turek, Adam Hamilton, Roy Copper, Scott Colom, and Annie Andrews (who together won five of the seven seats Dems flipped) sounded like Bernie or Mamdani is just objectively wrong.
