You fail to mention that US Senate candidate Cal Cunningham of NC who was leading his contest by 3 points over incumbent Republican Tillis, until he shot himself in the foot. Cunningham revealed that he had been texting inappropriate messages to a woman who was not his wife.I never heard if it was actually physical with her.Cunningham lost his lead and eventually lost by only 85k votes.The sad thing is that over 110k voters voted for Biden but not Cunningham. Way to go Cal,another case of a democrat snagging defeat from the jaws of victory. Had Cunningham won, Manchin would likely not be in the news nearly as often as he is.

The tragedy in Ukraine was a chance for the US to lead the world in a Marshall Plan for renewable development and distribution, and to permanently weaken Russia to forestall future genocides...but that would have required a strong strategy, public education, and unified messaging. This seems to be beyond the abilities of this administration.
