Election 2020

Is George Floyd changing the electoral world?  Well in New York and Virginia with potential wins by Black Candidates, it seems so.  We will have to keep our eyes on Kentucky where Charles Booker is just under his competitor by 4,000 votes.  Absentee votes could change the current lead.

Mondair Jones, looks like he is about to step into powerhouse Nita Lowey’s shoes, leading by a large margin.  Mondair is Black and gay, two strikes, yet he is able to lead candidates with name recognition.  If his lead stands up after all absentee ballots are counted, he is almost assured a win in the general election.

Jamaal Bowman, seems to be giving a whopping to long time congressman Eliot Engel.  Engel has served 12 terms, unchallenged for the most part.  He was caught on a mic saying if it wasn’t for the primary, he wouldn’t care.  He was talking about the pandemic.  Engel was endorsed by almost all Democratic leaders in my district, state and nationally.  Why they continued to back him, is a question I would like to have answered.  He, too, is assured a win in November.

In Virginia, Dr. Cameron Webb handily won his primary for the US Congress.  He will have to run against the Republican candidate in a Republican area, but change is a-coming.

Update:  
As of Thursday, 6/25, Booker was ahead by 3,000 votes
