"Measles will find you, and it will kill you."

He was a very Pennsylvania-coded asshole.

I mean, all that anyone has to do is watch any Fetterman interview/media appearance from 2021 or earlier.

He was a completely different person then.

Maybe if she switched over to huffing Mr. Sketch, she'd be a pleasant human being!

I've been cautiously optimistic on this one ever since two Democrats split >53% of the first-round vote. Let's win this!

Casey never had a difficult or competitive race, and it showed.

He was caught napping by McCormick's late mini-surge.
