Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
good way to describe them.
Some of them seemed so surprised when the BLUEWAVE happened with all kinds of Dems turning red seats to BLUEWAVE seats.
That's why we have the House Victory now and a chance to hold the fascists from taking over everything. No thanks to the pettiness of those hurling "estalblishment" accusations.. like it's a dirty word. The BlueWave Revolution was in spite of them.
The secret to the blue wave that won the House for Democrats
Editor's Note: Congressman Ben Ray Luján, a Democrat, is from New Mexico. He was appointed to the House Democratic Leadership as a Chief Deputy Whip in 2013, served as chair of the the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in the 2016 cycle and was elected by his colleagues to serve again as DCCC chair in the 2018 midterms. He is running unopposed for the position of assistant Democratic leader in the upcoming Congress. The opinions expressed in this commentary are his own; view more opinion at CNN.
As Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, I spent a significant amount of time this cycle traveling throughout the country making a personal case to supporters about our candidates. I know firsthand how Democrats achieved our historic victory, and what it will take to build on this success heading into 2020.
Throughout my time on the road, there was one constant: Nancy Pelosi. She was strong, passionate and persuasive. She always showed up, always took the time, always made the case better than anyone else about how consequential these midterms were.
She did all this while balancing an ideologically diverse Democratic caucus and the dangers posed by an erratic, impulsive President who constantly sought to distract from the personal conversation that Democrats were having with voters. But with laser focus and a "Just Win, Baby" mentality, Nancy Pelosi's achievements this year are historic
