    Trump won West Virginia by nearly 40%. A Democrat is not winning this seat.

    Like him or not, Justice Jackson wouldn’t be on the court if it wasn’t for him. The billions in climate action and infrastructure wouldn’t have been passed. Extensions to COVID relief and unemployment in early 2021 wouldn’t have passed. A 300 billion dollar corporate income tax increase wouldn’t have passed. An 80 billion dollar budget increase for IRS enforcement wouldn’t have passed. Medicare drug price caps wouldn’t have passed.

    Yes, he’s incredibly annoying, but the fact of the matter is that we cannot prioritize some personal distaste over the vast amount of objectively good things that have happened because of this annoying ass coal baron from West Virginia.
