Chip in today to elect Dem govs across the country >>
Democratic governors are leading the fight against Donald Trump and his administration – and they need your help. Trump and his allies have hundreds of millions of dollars to attack our candidates, and we have to make sure we’ve got the resources to fight back. With 36 races on the map this November, 80% of Americans will cast their vote for their next governor. We need to invest NOW to expand our map, win in battleground states, protect our blue firewall of Dem govs, and flip critical states from red to blue. Can Dem govs count on you to chip in right now?
“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.
