It is—regrettably—time you learned about the guy running for governor in Pennsylvania.
came out this week, and the New York Democratic Party promptly descended into anarchy afterward. Democrats, in a bad year like 2022, could win five or so fewer seats under the new map than they would have under their gerrymander. Meanwhile, the turf wars over the new map have been. For about 1 million years, Rep. Carolyn Maloney has represented the Upper East Side of Manhattan and Rep. Jerry Nadler the Upper West Side. The new map lumps them together.
Cawthorn couldn’t even clear the very low bar of “mature enough to serve in Congress,” and now he gets to work on himself a little bit. His constituents will get a member of Congress who is capable of boarding a plane without carrying a gun, House Republicans will shed themselves of an embarrassment, and Democrats will have one fewer reason to maintain metal detectors outside the House floor.
