Chip in today to elect Dem govs >>
Democratic governors are leading in the fight against Donald Trump. With our two historic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, grassroots momentum is on our side! But this year, nearly 80% of the country is voting for a governor – and with Republicans already investing to beat Dem govs, early support has never been so critical. Will you donate to elect more Democratic governors who will defend our rights and freedoms and stand up to Trump?
“No Mean Questions” – PA GOP Primary Candidates
The infighting in the Pennsylvania GOP primary for governor is intense, but there’s one thing the candidates agree on: They don’t want any hard-hitting questions on the debate stage, and they only want a moderator who is a “registered Republican.”
According to PoliticsPA, the campaigns of Lou Barletta, Jake Corman, Bill McSwain, and Dave White signed a letter saying they won’t answer questions in a debate, unless certain conditions are met, including:
- “Moderators must be registered Republicans”
- “No questions with answers shorter than 30 seconds.”
The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jonathan Tamari summed up the demands by writing, “They want a safe space. No mean questions.”
“This sad and cowardly list of demands shows the extreme field of GOP candidates for governor is scared to answer questions about their harmful agenda, including pushing Trump’s dangerous conspiracies and completely banning abortion,” said DGA Deputy Communications Director Sam Newton.
