one of the few remaining swing congressional districts new york s 19th went democratic. at least far moment in time, he was a snapshot of america s political mood. a swing district won by obama and then trump and then biden voted to send democrat pat ryan to washington. ryan ran on abortion right. his republican opponent focussed on the economy and crime. and now a midterm election that is just 73 days away and once seemed a fore gone conclusion, a republican takeover of the house and the senate, is much more uncertain. as jonathan weissman pointed out the new york times this week, republicans need just five seats to win the house. and their candidates are in strong positions to win the bulk of nine districts that mr. trump would have won easily two years ago if the new maps had been in place. seven of those nine seats do not have a democratic incumbent to defend them. here is another way to look at it. the nonpartisan cook political report rates 10 democratic seats as lean
question, should a person s non-violent attendance at the january 6th save america march have any impact on their employment? i m michael smerconish in philadelphia, and that is this week s poll question at smerconish.com. many who participated on the storming of the capitol on january 6th have been charged and may still be. scrutinizing former president donald trump. but i want to update a different story about that day. one of a middle schoolteacher who on thursday night was just fired by his school board tracing back to his attendance on january the 6th, despite his never being anywhere near the capitol. kind of ironic that the pennsylvania teacher is now out of his job while the current republican nominee for pennsylvania charted puss to transport people to attend. jason mother head at the robb middle school in allentown, pennsylvania. he attended the rally and posted about it on social media, but did not participate in anything beyond that. he was suspended with pay
i paid for my student loan, and everyone else should too. neil: the price tag for president biden s student loan handout growing and so now is the pile-on, and it s not just coming from republicans. some swing state democrats are coming out swinging against it as well. why someone here that a alone might want to tell taxpayers what they need to know and maybe worry about. and still what we don t know in this battle two wean the justice department and former president donald trump. we do know that his legal team is making a new request for a special master to look at everything the department of justice and the fbi, all those documents that it had because of that heavily redacted affidavit that really isn t showing much. meanwhile, the current white house is still insisting it was in the dark about all of that from the very beginning. jonathan turley on maybe what we could read from that. welcome, everybody. i m neil cavuto. lots to tell you about including the loan forgiven
