We have experienced the chaos and lies from a first Donald Trump administration. I do not want to extend that experiment at the risk of international peril.
For example, he has promised to “end the war in Ukraine in one day” — presumably by withdrawing American support and forcing Ukraine to surrender to Russia. Kamala Harris offers stability and integrity. That choice is clear in my mind.
Regarding the congressional election, the choice is equally clear, because there is no guarantee that Harris will win the presidential election. The only defense against Trump’s “Project 2025” plan to remake our government so that it will do what he wants would be to have a Democratic majority in the House of Representatives and the Senate. The incumbent Republican, Nick LaLota, is a Trump supporter. John Avlon, his Democratic opponent, can be counted on to support reasonable proposals and oppose Trump’s reactionary actions.
I am supporting Mr. Avlon.
