Ex-Trump White House doctor Ronny Jackson wins Texas House race

Source: the hill



By Rebecca Kheel - 11/03/20 08:44 PM EST

Ronny Jackson, President Trump’s former White House doctor, is projected to win his race to represent Texas’s 13th Congressional District, according to calls by NBC News and CNN.

Jackson is projected to defeat Democratic nominee Gus Trujillo and Libertarian candidate Jack Westbrook to win the seat being vacated by retiring Rep. Mac Thornberry (Texas), the top Republican on the House Armed Services Committee.

With the district considered among the reddest in the nation, Jackson was seen as a lock to win the race after defeating Josh Winegarner, who had earned GOP establishment endorsements, in the party’s primary runoff in July......................

21 battlegrounds that will seal Trump’s fate

17. Dane County, Wis.


The state’s second most populous county after Milwaukee County, Madison’s Dane County is reliably liberal and highly motivated this year. As of last week, the county already recorded 72 percent of the total number of votes cast in the county in 2016.

Home to the University of Wisconsin and the state capital, Dane regularly delivers huge Democratic margins — along with Milwaukee County, it helps balance out the conservative vote delivered by the suburban Republican counties outside Milwaukee.

This year, a big Democratic turnout from Dane County will be critical for another reason — Donald Trump’s anticipated strength again in rural Wisconsin, where he won 63 percent in 2016.


18. Wisconsin’s WOW counties

Trump’s 2016 underperformance in the Republican-rich, so-called WOW counties outside Milwaukee (Waukesha, Ozaukee and Washington) was obscured by his romp through rural Wisconsin.

He might not have the same luck this time in a state that’s been ravaged by Covid-19, particularly in northern and western Wisconsin. But at least there’s promise for Trump in the early voting numbers in Washington, Ozaukee and Waukesha counties, which have already logged more than 60 percent of their 2016 vote.



19. Wisconsin’s BOW counties

The two presidential campaigns and outside groups plowed more than $20 million into post-Labor Day TV ads to reach northern Wisconsin and the state’s BOW counties (Brown, Outagamie and Winnebago), three population hubs in and around Green Bay.

All three counties voted for Donald Trump in 2016; Winnebago flipped to him after twice voting for Barack Obama. But the Biden campaign sees these working-class voters — in Green Bay, Appleton, Oshkosh and other nearby places — as winnable, and poured at least $3.7 million in ad spending into the Green Bay-Appleton media market over the past two months to prove it.

US elections 2020: Kamala Harris' ancestral village in Tamil Nadu beams with pride, holds special pooja

Kamala Harris has become a household name in Thulasendrapuram with big banners of her being placed in several parts of the village and special pooja being organised to pray for her victory.

UPDATED: November 3, 2020 21:46 IST



In a remote village called Thulasendrapuram in Painganadu, near Mannargudi in Tamil Nadu's Tiruvarur district, Kamala Devi Harris has become a household name. The village's Shri Dharmasastha Temple has a unique wall where names of people who have made contributions to the temple are etched in Tamil, and the Democratic vice-presidential candidate for the 2020 US election is also one of them.

While the candidature of Kamala Harris is history in the making, her village folks are doing their bit to support their "own girl".

The Shri Dharmasastha Temple is seeing regular visitors and special pooja is being organised to pray for Kamala Harris' victory.................................

Somber way to begin the day. But I imagine it gives him comfort.




Per pool, Biden began his day by going to church (it was a short visit, not a full mass) and then visiting the cemetery where his late son, Beau, and first wife, and daughter are buried.
