- Well no wonder Gov. Tim Walz doesn't want to debate his GOP gubernatorial opponent Scott Jensen. He can lie indiscriminately and then avoid being called out in a public forum.
My opponent would sign an abortion ban into law, defund our public schools, and take away Minnesotans’ rights.

This November, let’s make sure he never makes it to the governor’s office.
Let's focus on the abortion aspect of this statement. A Gov. Jensen will never be in a position to sign an abortion ban since the procedure is considered a "right" protected by the MN Constitution (see Doe v. Gomez). As such, there are two options to ban abortion. 1) the Supreme Court of MN overturning the Doe ruling (unlikely given the current makeup of the court and the fact there's no pending lawsuit) or 2) the MN Legislature passes a ballot initiative allowing voters to decide whether or not to amend the state Constitution.
There's only two plausible explanations for Walz spouting those chanting points: His not knowing that a governor has no impact on Minnesota's current abortion law or that he's flat out lying and thus believes voters are too naïve to know the difference.
Which scenario is worse in your mind?
-OK, I laughed
Welp....that misogynist is canceled.
- This midterm election cycle as of this past spring had been projected to be a "red wave." But as I've said in past election cycles when the GOP is projected to do well - never underestimate Republicans' ability to screw up things. And sure enough the GOP (as of now) looks to assume only a moderate sized majority in the U.S. House but fall short of wresting control of the Senate.
One guess as to why:
"When Trump was fading from the news cycle, Republicans were able to focus on criticisms of the left — COVID regulations, educational practices, accusations of media bias...Since the search, Trump is once again at the center of attention"https://t.co/8DSzF3sKfY

This is why a typical CNN or MSNBC newscast mentions the name "Donald Trump" far more than "President Joe Biden." They want to assist their prog allies by making the election about Trump. Sadly too many political righties are taking the bait.
