Pennsylvania is the birthplace of American democracy. The very thing that Doug Mastriano tried to kill on January 6th, 2021. He can never be Governor of the Keystone State.

Half of Republicans Demand Actions From Jan. 6th Committee
A news poll from Morning Consult/Politico shows the January 6th Committee hearings may be breaking through.
From Morning Consult:
“In the wake of last week’s first prime-time hearing by the special committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, a new Morning Consult/Politico survey shows more voters approve of the panel than they have in months, though they are no more likely to blame former President Donald Trump for the failed insurrection.
- A slim majority (51%) of voters in the June 10-12 survey approved of the House select committee, which was defined as a special committee of seven Democrats and two Republicans appointed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
- That share of approval is the highest Morning Consult has measured since the first time it posed the question to voters following the announcement of its creation in July 2021, when 53% approved.
- More than 4 in 5 Democrats approve of the panel, compared with nearly 7 in 10 Republicans who disapprove of it, and independents back the committee 45% to 33%.”

Thirty Pieces of Silver
From Lincoln Project Co-Founder Reed Galen:
“On the night of Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020 everyone in the White House knew that Donald Trump was going to lose his reelection bid. With Fox News calling Arizona for Joe Biden, the “red mirage” taking full shape, the 45th president was destined for early retirement. His campaign team knew it. His lawyers knew it. Trump, somewhere in that maelstrom he calls a mind, knew it, too.
Some people, like campaign manager Bill Stepien, senior advisor Jason Miller and the cadre of actual political professionals Trump had cobbled together, can read election returns. They understand the trends. Some of the smarter ones knew the vote counts needed down to the precinct level. For them, it was just math.
The numbers were not, and would not, be there for Trump to pull it off. As former Fox News Election Desk chief Chris Stirewalt said before the Select Committee on January 6th, you’d be better off buying a Powerball ticket than overcoming the margins Trump was facing.”
