What recent developments are impacting the midterm elections?
donald trump and mega republicans are crashing in the polls heading into the midterms and now jd vance has made things much much worse vance throwing donald trump and mega republicans under the bus with the most horrible speech imaginable in wisconsin but this is the national message that he's taking around whether it's in wisconsin michigan virginia where there are a lot of democratic uh flips that could be happening in the midterm so Take a look at the generic polling right here for the congressional ballot. Democrats up 50 to 42% right now. So what was J.D. Vance saying earlier today? He was saying that, and again, it's all projection. He's like describing the Trump regime, but trying to attack his political opponents.
And he's like, when the government makes bad policy and destroys your life, that's what we need to protect against. That's literally what y'all are doing. Watch what Vance said moments ago. Let's play it.
here's the thing about the american dream the government cannot give it to you for you but the government with bad policy and bad leadership it can destroy that american dream whatever shape it takes in the lives of you and your children and then jd vance says that uh when you go to the polls in november i want you to think who will protect your money from the fraudsters literally this is like
a regime, the Epstein class fraudsters in the Oval Office. But go on, JD, here, play this clip.
And so I want you, when you go to the polls in November, I don't want you to just think about all the great things that we've accomplished, all the great things that we've talked about.
How did J.D. Vance's speech affect Republican support?
I don't want you just to think about no taxes on tips and lower gas prices. I want you to think Who is gonna protect my money from fraudsters? And the simple answer is, it's Derek Van Orden and congressional Republicans. It is not the Democrats who created this problem to begin with.
And then his final message was, you gotta stop the crazy Democrats. Stop the crazy Democrats. Y'all are a bunch of pedo protectors in the Oval Office. You are the Epstein class. You are the cabal. Here, play this clip.
I just want you to know that every single day I go to work, And every single day Donald J. Trump goes to work and we fight for the American dream for you and your family, however you define it. We would really appreciate you not sending us a bunch of crazy Democrats in November. So please don't do that.
What challenges did Congresswoman Luria face in the 2022 election?
God bless you all. Thank you.
Additional data points I want to share with you right now. This broke my heart this morning. A call for Minnesota into C-SPAN. A 65-year-old legally blind and disabled woman lost 28 pounds because she can't afford food under the Trump regime. She's starving to death. And this is an experience by millions of Americans, or at least hundreds of thousands of Americans are experiencing this right now. Here, play this clip.
and that's what my topic is. I went and had my annual physical yesterday. I'm 65 years old. I'm legally blind. I'm on disability. I went to my doc and I lost 28 pounds in the last year.
What strategies does Luria plan to use to win back her seat?
I did not need to lose 28 pounds. I did not try to lose 28 pounds. I lost the 28 pounds because I could not afford to eat anymore. Under Biden, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Under Biden, I was able to put $100 a month away for food, along with my SNAP. And I did okay. I could get fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, and meat. It is just me. But now, with grocery prices so high, propane, electricity out of this world, I now only allow myself $65 a month for food. Sharon, are you on SNAP benefits? Let me tell you, under Joe Biden, I received $80 a month for SNAP. That was taken away from me under Donald Trump.
How has the political landscape changed in Virginia's Second Congressional District?
He took it away. He gave me $24 a month. I did receive that for a couple of months. Then he took it down to $12. $12.50 a month. I said, screw you. So I'm not doing that no more. So now I get $65 a month, Mimi. And for them people out there, all these Republicans that are doing so flipping well right now, I have three potatoes. I have a half a tomato. I have three bananas, one apple, one can of soup, a half a loaf of bread, one egg, and one can of green beans.
