God's most dedicated Democrat, he didn't want the announcement of the book or the upcoming sale of it to ever hang over the midterms. I have a strong feeling, as a historian, he'll eventually be viewed among the Democratic Party as an LBJ figure - progressive who got stuff done.
I want to share a brief update. My presidential memoir, PROMISE ME, AMERICA, is coming out on November 17th. I hope you'll read it. It covers my years as President. The challenges we faced, the decisions I made, and why I made them. It's about who we are as a nation. What we stand for. And America's role in the world. More than anything, it's about my faith in the American people and the great American experiment in self-governance and democracy. While writing the book, I was diagnosed with cancer, a disease known all too well to millions of Americans and their families. My doctors continue to be encouraged by how I've responded to treatment. And the prayers and kind words and well wishes from so many of you have meant more to me and Jill and our family than you can ever know. Some days are better than others. It hasn't stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down. What that means is, unfortunately, I won’t be able to do as many conversations about my book as I’d hoped. However, I’m hopeful the words on the page speak for themselves. Looking forward, I'm going to keep following what my father told me a long time ago: "Champ, when you get knocked down, get up." It's a good lesson for me. And for America. We are blessed. America is the most unique nation on earth. Unlike other countries, we're built on an idea. An idea bigger than any ocean. More powerful than any army. Stronger than any tyrant or dictator. That idea? All of us are created equal. Promise Me, America, we'll never forget it.

My name is Ahmed Moor and I’m running for US Senate here in PA (election 2028). I’m running to end the war in Iran and to promote the dignity agenda: free healthcare, free childcare, and affordable housing. I’m calling for accountability for genocide, for ICE and for corruption. And finally, for the protection of our civil liberties in America. Join the fight at moorforsenate.com

Respectfully, you can’t call the man with the largest popular vote ever a weak candidate
I do think this week provided support for the hypothesis that Trump benefited from Democrats nominating three pretty weak presidential candidates in a row. There's a lot of talent in the party that hasn't translated to the top of the ticket lately.

This is what the House of Representatives is supposed to be. Just a bunch of normal people serving their neighbors
Rep.-elect Zack Mullock (D-NJ) says he didn’t realize he had a shot in his race against Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) until August. He was shocked about his own win. “Probably, I know less than any other elected official in that building. I had to Google the salary of a congressperson just two days ago,” Mullock said.

Senate Majority Leader Raphael Warnock, please God
My issue with a Schumer-Jeffries leadership is that it’s just NYC. The Democratic Party has long seen its leadership come from the coastal states. We in the Midwest and South have felt ignored

When I said I'd give anything to flip congress I didn't mean the Phillies, the Eagles, the Flyers, and sweating my balls off in November but I suppose I should have been more specific
