    First Quarter:

    306-232 was Trump-Hillary & Biden-Trump; MM has seen a lot of hot takes about how “close” this election was, but the media was calling it a blowout in 2016. By their standard, it is blowout now with the popular vote differential is currently over 5.6 million

    Second Quarter:

    Joe Biden promised an administration that would “look like America” & he has so far delivered with 46% of Biden-Harris transition team are people of color and 41% of senior staff are BIPOC, 52% of transition staff are women, and 53% of senior staff are women

  • What It Means

    What It Means
    Oct 19 2020
    First Quarter: The significance of her nomination/Keeping Up With KamalaSecond Quarter: #HeatCheck: VP DebatePence said that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden “is going to raise your taxes.” Biden’s plan says that’s true only for Americans making over $400,000 a year. MMPence claimed that universal mail-in voting will create a massive opportunity for voter fraud.Voting by mail rarely results in fraud. Comprehensive studies of billions of ballots cast over many years indicate that the rate of voter fraud is less than 0.0001%. Pence said, “President Trump and I have a plan to improve health care and to protect pre-existing conditions for every American.” Trump and Congressional Republicans have long promised a plan to replace the ACA and that they would also protect people with pre-existing conditions. However, we have yet to see that plan. In late September, Trump signed an executive order that stated that it’s US policy that people who suffer from pre-existing conditions will be protected. However, this is not actually a plan. Later in the debate, when asked directly to explain the administration's health care plan, Pence changed the topic.Pence claimed that the Obama administration "left the Strategic National Stockpile empty."The Strategic National Stockpile was not empty before the coronavirus pandemic. For example, the stockpile contains enough smallpox vaccines for every American, among other medical resources. The stockpile of masks was drained and not replenished by the Obama administration, but was not completely empty; Trump inherited significant quantities of other supplies. Congress repeatedly did not pay for the stockpile to be replenished. And Trump had three years in office to build depleted stockpiles back up. Pence claimed Trump "suspended all travel from China" in response to the coronavirus pandemic.   (NZ)This is false. While Trump did restrict travel from China, his policy was not an actual "ban": It made exemptions for travel by US citizens, permanent residents, many of the family members of both groups and some others. The New York Times reported in April that nearly 40,000 people had flown to the US from China since the restrictions went into effect in early February.The virus spread uncheck all winter in Europe until March 27th, when travel restrictions were enacted with Europe. However, it is also not a full ban as the same exceptions existing with China exist with Europe.As it pertains to COVID-19, Harris said,“ You respect the American people when you tell them the truth.” Pence then interjected, “Which we’ve always done.” That’s false.Trump has made hundreds of false claims during the pandemic, including false claims about his travel restrictions, Covid-19 testing, the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine, the national stockpile of ventilators, and more. In recent weeks, Trump even lied about lying about the virus. Trump has also admitted, in a series of interviews with Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward, that he concealed the true threat of the coronavirus from the American public earlier this year. Trump said, "I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down, because I don't want to create a panic.” Third Quarter: SCOTUS Hearings/Bills The process has been a sham. The end of the election is now in 16 days. As of the morning of Oct 18, 27 million people have already voted.“We are not in the middle of an election year. We are in the middle of an election.” -KDHClimate changeKamala being Senator Harris and MVP Harris at the same time: We’re in the middle of an election. You know who’ll lose their health insurance if the ACA is overturned?2 million Texans, 607k North Carolinians, 288k South Carolinians, 227k Iowans, over 9 million African Americans, Latinos, Asians, & Native Americans who gained coverage through the ACAFourth Quarter: Calls to Action: The closer we get to Election Day, the less effectively campaigns are able to utilize $$$. Things like phone banking, text banking, letter and postcard writing are more impactful. The Biden-Harris campaign has upward of 90 events nearly every single day. Go to www.mobilize.us/joebiden.Asian Americans are the fastest growing voting bloc in the country. Could be difference makers in key battleground states like Texas, Florida, and Arizona. aapisforjoe.com & southasiansforbiden.orgA Columbia University study shows that hearing from a friend or relative is 10-12x more likely to get someone to vote as compared to a text or call from a stranger.
