How many of you are still ready and willing to negotiate with the Republican party?

Engage in your Stockholm Syndrome here. Consider it a "safe space" for thinking it's all gonna be okay. Also cite Susan Collins "liberally", if we are still allowed to use that word.

Mike Carey, endorsed by Trump, will win Ohio GOP special primary, CNN projects

Source: CNN

(CNN)

Mike Carey, a coal lobbyist who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, will win the Republican special primary in Ohio's 15th Congressional District, CNN projects.

Carey's win over a crowded primary field that included better-established candidates showcased Trump's power within the party at a key moment.

A week earlier, a Trump-endorsed candidate had lost a runoff election in Texas to another Republican -- calling into question the former President's influence now that he is out of office and casting some doubt on his ability to settle scores with old rivals in next year's midterm elections.

Carey will be favored to win the November 2 special general election against state Rep. Allison Russo, who CNN projects will win the Democratic nomination, in the heavily Republican district that includes part of Columbus and the more rural, conservative area to its south. The winner will replace former Republican Rep. Steve Stivers, who resigned earlier this year to take a job with the Ohio Chamber of Commerce.

The NFL's latest rules regarding COVID-19 don't appear to be sitting well with at least one of its star players.

Just hours after the NFL released a memo saying that teams that experience an outbreak of COVID-19 among unvaccinated players will be subject to forfeits in the case of a game cancellation, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins took aim Thursday at the league.

"Never thought I would say this, But being put in a position to hurt my team because I don’t want to partake in the vaccine is making me question my future in the @NFL," Hopkins wrote in a since-deleted tweet.
