The corporate media may or may not be noticing (we don't watch or listen anymore), but in our book, it's very strange for a sitting President to be doing just that — sitting — instead of hitting the hustings for his party's candidates in the final hours before Election Day.
Lots of reasons for that, no doubt. Benedict Donald is bottom-of-the-barrel unpopular, underwater by double digits in all the major polls released on Friday. He'd probably be doing Republicans more harm than good if he deigned to appear with them right now. The government shutdown is affecting people's lives in big ways — pay-wise, benefit-wise and food-wise. And of course there's always the question of whether Trump could handle any appearances, cognitively speaking. (Probably physically, too.) His meandering (and maddening) appearance on 60 Minutes last night is the latest proof of that.
Meanwhile, Barack Obama campaigned over the weekend for Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey and Abigail Spanberger in Virginia, cut a commercial in support of Prop 50 in California, and dialed up Zohran Mamdani with words of praise for his mayoral run in New York City. You know, all jokes aside, if Obama could run for President again in 2028, he'd probably win. (Lots of Trumpsters have died since 2016.)
Which is our way of saying that we cats think tomorrow will be a good day for Democrats. We have about 36 hours left to GOTV in our crucial races — and thanks to the interwebs, we can help from anywhere in the country. Links below! We cats PURR.
