Nellie Pou going on an AIPAC codel is one of the more breathtakingly stupid things I've seen a Democrat do recently. you represent Little fucking Ramallah!

Someone needs to do a write-up on the death of quality DC staffs because this is exactly what a competent Chief of Staff would say in explaining why she should not go.
might be a bit of beltway brain seeping in just for thinking that representing a swing house district means that you must be pro-israel to survive AIPAC did endorse her before the 2024 election though, so it prob isn't for electoral reasons
and also, this might play into andre sayegh's decision to primary pou (which he said he was keeping his options open about a few days ago)
📌
Pou more than any other Democrat in the entire fucking country relies on Arab and Muslim swing voters, she represents a heavily Muslim Trump district for Christ's sake.
RASHIDA TLAIB can better afford to piss off Arab and Muslim voters than Nellie Pou can because her median voter is a Black Detroiter! Nellie's median voter is genuinely a Paterson or Clifton Arab or Turk.
So do you expect Pou will get primaried?
live possibility, mayor of Paterson is not saying no though he generally does not say no when asked about higher office
(Andre Sayegh is an Arab Christian who is afaik pretty popular)
Sayegh should announce today TBH
I did not realize until I saw that photo of her that AIPAC sponsors these trips for all House freshman.
Given the concerns about low ‘24 turnout among MENA voters in Passaic, this seems counterproductive.
