A reliable source tells me that Chuck Schumer called STACEY ABRAMS three weeks ago to ask her to deliver the Democratic response to the State of the Union.
At a moment when our nation needs to hear from leaders who can unite for a common purpose, I am honored to be delivering the Democratic State of the Union response. https://t.co/0dpA3lJZpS

Abrams is a great choice. I wish she were my governor – we were robbed!!!
Simply put, nobody wants to perform this particular task. N-o-b-o-d-y.
So good luck Stacey. Hopefully this will give you a boost in your upcoming run for the senate.
Speaking of elections, Israel has one coming up in April.
Netanyahu’s Likud Party is leading in the polls. (Israelis vote for a party and the party chooses the PM.)
Very close behind are General Benny Gantz and his Achi Yisrael Party, and Yair Lapid and the Yesh Atid Party.
The first three campaign commercials released by General Gantz highlighted the number of “terrorists killed” which included 500 children, and “targets destroyed.”
Palestinian neighborhoods are shown in ruins and a Hamas leader is mocked as he’s assassinated with an Israeli missile.
Lapid’s campaign ads categorically state that a Palestinian state is a “pipedream.”
Any Israeli political party with a peace platform is accused of being “soft on national defense” and or being members of a yet to be identified secret cabal of pro-Arab, anti-Zionists trying to destroy Israel from within.
This is the Israel that the US has declared its undying loyalty to?
