Worry less about what I do with my reproductive organs and more about the existing children developing PTSD daily due to rampant gun violence in the US.

Congratulations, Abdul El-Sayed. You turned that inshallah into alhamdulillah. I am overwhelmed with gratitude knowing that we will now have 8 Muslims serving in Congress. They told us we couldn't speak up, couldn't challenge the status quo, and couldn't make it this far. But we did. Alhamdulillah.

National Democrats abandoned Louisiana and Jamie Davis ran on $0. And he STILL came within 2 points of the win. A Black farmer from the middle of NOWHERE in Tensas Parish.
"If Jamie loses by 2 points, we are going to get up Wednesday morning and we are going to wonder where the hell were you [national Democrats]?" - James Carville told me last week over his frustration that National Dems wouldn't spend $$ in Louisiana Davis lost by 2. #lalege

At this moment of history, the Democratic National Committee and National Finance Committee have ignored the Southern States and gave no resources to the campaigns of Angie Nixon (FL), Jamie Davis(LA), and Scott Colom (MISS). Ms. Nixon and Mr. Davis lost by a couple of % points. Mr. Colom awaits a miracle victory on a razors edge. The Supreme Court destroyed the Voters Right Act of the Civil Rights movement and Black folks answered the clarion call to fight back because there is BLOOD ON THAT BALLOT BOX. To many died to turn back now. From this night forward there is a New Southern Stratergy led by advocates like Gary Chambers in Louisiana and Stacey Adams in Georgia. This is political malpractice by Chuck Schumer and the National Democratic Party. So while evil people plot, good people plan! The fight continues in the morning. Mississippi will be battlefront. Who in da Morning?@GaryChambersJr @rolandsmartin @staceyabrams

Jamie Davis delivers concession speech to a packed house. This man ran one hell of a race and inspired a whole state. Hopefully the nation sees that even in this lost.. THE SOUTH HAS SOMETHING TO SAY💯💯

AAAAAAH!! SOOO CLOSE!! Don’t give up on Louisiana. This was without PAC money or the national party. Our victory is coming!

I’m also hoping to wake up to Senator El-Sayed in Michigan! Bring science back to Washington!!

Democrats should make serious investments in the South going forward.

I’m not giving up yet! Only 30.4% of Orleans Parish has been counted. Maybe my math is wrong, but I feel like I could still wake up with Jamie Davis as our Senator. Either way, he ran a phenomenal campaign with no PAC or DNC support!

Thank you, New Mexico! It is the honor of my lifetime to be elected your 33rd Governor. Tonight, you made history. You chose a future where New Mexico comes first, where working families have a chance to get ahead, and where every New Mexican has a voice. I know the challenges ahead are real. But I also know that New Mexicans have never backed down from a fight — and we are going to tackle these challenges together. Whether you voted for me or not, I will always be your Governor, too. Because this campaign was about all of us, and the future we deserve. Let’s keep New Mexico, New Mexico. Let’s build a brighter future for our families. And let’s get to work.
