Roll your eyes all you like, but those are two states that have proven difficult for Democratic Senate candidates, and having Democratic candidates with name recognition and high approval ratings may be the only way to unseat the Republican incumbents.

Oh, stop. This is ridiculous. Democrats were voted out of power, and they are doing everything they can to respond to the egregiously illegal acts that have been undertaken by Trump and Musk. Unless you’re expecting a Democratic Jan 6 insurrection, these processes are going to take time.
