Simon, great that you're doing an event with Ruben. The Democrats in Sedona, AZ have had fundraisers for him and love him. He's going to be Arizona's next Democratic Senator!

Having gotten emails supporting Ruben here in Philadelphia, what’s not to like about Ruben! Look forward to “meeting” him on Thursday.

Thanks, Simon. Just donated to Ruben's campaign.

Also, I believe the Democrats should target - spend time and $ - the Florida and Texas US Senate races. In Florida, Rick Scott won his seat six years ago by only 10,000+ votes, currently, has significant unfavorables and is on the wrong side of the abortion and taxes issues and programs like Social Security and Medicare, in a state full of such recipients. The fact that an abortion rights bill is on the November ballot should definitely help the Democrat challenger, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, and even Joe Biden.

In Texas, Ted Cruz won election six years ago by just 2.6% and has a aggregate favorability rating in the state of less that 30%. The most recent poll, taken February 29th, had Cruz's Democratic challenger, Colin Allred, tied with him at 41%, each, leaving a substantial undecided vote. Note, the poll results were before Allred won the March 6th primary officially making him the Democrat nominee.
