A Democratic Socialist just won a United States Senate nomination in Florida after being outspent more than sixteen to one. Alexander Vindman raised 16.3 million dollars. Angie Nixon raised 975,000 and beat him by double digits on Tuesday, becoming the first member of the Democratic Socialists of America to win a statewide nomination in the Democratic Party. Her organization's platform, published this summer, calls for abolishing the United States Senate, which is the body she is asking Florida to send her to, along with the presidency, the Electoral College, and the Supreme Court. Jenny Beth Martin opens on that and on a second number from the same week. The national debt passed 40 trillion dollars on Tuesday, two years earlier than the Congressional Budget Office projected. House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington says the federal government borrows 6 billion dollars a day, and more than half of that is interest on money already owed. Guests: Jason Snead, Executive Director of the Honest Elections Project, on the poll worker training co-sponsored by Tea Party Patriots Action and the real difference between a poll worker and a poll watcher. William Spencer of the Atlanta Young Republicans and Robert McNeily of Tea Party Patriots Action on Florida, South Carolina, and the Georgia Senate and governor's races. Joe Mitchell, Republican nominee for Iowa's Second Congressional District, on refusing corporate money, term limits, congressional insider trading, and a balanced budget constitutional amendment. Election Day is 75 days out. More at jennybethshow.com and teapartypatriots.org.
Jason Snead is Executive Director of the Honest Elections Project. He joins to talk about the poll worker training his organization is running in Alpharetta, Georgia on Friday, August 28, co-sponsored by Tea Party Patriots Action alongside Heritage Action, Turning Point, and the American Constitutional Rights Union, with more events planned in Nevada and Wisconsin.
William Spencer is Vice President of Membership for the Atlanta Young Republicans, the largest Republican club in Georgia, and a Marine Corps veteran. This is his first appearance on the show. Robert McNeily is Director of Broadcasting and Grassroots Engagement for Tea Party Patriots Action and a regular on the program.
Joe Mitchell is the Republican nominee for Iowa's Second Congressional District. He was sworn into the Iowa House at 21, the youngest member ever elected to it, served as chief of staff to the Federal Housing Finance Agency in the Trump administration, and is a developer and business owner in Iowa. He faces Democratic state representative Lindsay James in November.
