There has been much understandable attention on the four vulnerable Democratic senate seats (Nevada, Georgia, New Hampshire and Arizona, in present order of risk) and the “flippable five” Republican seats (Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Florida, and Ohio).
Thanks for this. I’ve been following Franken for a while-hoping he is victorious! O’Dea is not a “centrist” if he is touting Desantis. As a Florida resident, with book banning, lgbtq+ persecution (“Don’t say gay”), immigrant disrespect and more-I see Desantis as a Trump/Orban dictator wannabe who would continue to decimate the Constitution. The prospect of Desantis as president is terrifying. I see him as Trump 2.0-smarter and intentionally cruel.
As a native Coloradoan, O'Dea's denying Trump but jumping in bed with DeSantis, Nkki Haley (???), or Tim Scott is the "frying pan/fire" thing and will not be to his advantage. Bennett is still strong and has been very involved with CO. I'm pretty confident he will prevail.
Now if we can just make sure Boebert is sent packing...
Also a native Coloradoan, It's also important to remember that while O'Dea now says he's pro-choice for the first five months he not only voted for but signed the Petition to get the last anti-abortion bill on the ballot. Colorado was among the first states to recognize a right to choose; let's not go backward on that.
As a native of Colorado, John O'Dea is NOT a moderate Republican. If he thinks DeSantis, Haley, and especially Tim Scott (yikes!) are the best options for the GOP to run against Trump, that says something about where he truly stands. With the far-right radicals.
Bennett has been very popular in Colorado and has done a lot of good for the state.

Agreed...he (and other R hopefuls around the country) are trying to be chameleons and change to blend with the landscape. Don't trust it.

O'Dea is right about one thing,
"Another Biden, Trump election will tear this country apart".
Fingers crossed 🤞 Bennett wins!
Thanks again, Jay!
If this O'Dea guy thinks DeSantis is a "great" candidate, that tells me all I need to know about him. "Moderate", my a** - that' a push for fascism.
If Grassley loses do we automatically get Patrick Leahy as President Pro Tem?
Thank you for you straight forward and honest journalism. I appreciate you beyond words Jay Kho! Sharing you on line for friends to be informed 😉.
