A winner won't be declared in #OH12 until Aug 24th, but regardless of the outcome here is something to feel good about:
Dems regained all 11% that Trump won the district by in 2016
If Dems can recreate that shift statewide we'll win Ohio's Senate & Governor's race in November.

Since January, Sen. Mazie Hirono has been asking *every* Trump nominee in her committees, under oath, about any sexual harassment in their past. Top defense officials. Judges. It's awkward and pointed every time.
Brett Kavanaugh is next. https://t.co/2NjfpqsRoN

And for you, I went back and counted ALL the Trump nominees Hirono has asked under oath if they've ever sexually harassed anyone. This is between 5 Senate committees, top defense + energy officials, judges, even the VA Secretary.
It's nearly 100. https://t.co/2NjfpqsRoN

Dudes, C’mon. A “poll” by HarrisX, a firm that does market research in the telecom industry? Why even bother to pretend you care about reliable data? https://t.co/iuqO1VbZyj

Three quarters of Americans don’t want Nancy Pelosi replaced, bc three quarters of Americans don’t have opinions on Nancy Pelosi, bc less than three quarters of Americans could even tell you who Nancy Pelosi is.
