1. They are moderates. Use any tools you trust. Mine are Google, YouTube, and AI.
2. They are Democrats and call themselves Democrats. Again, same tools.
3. They prevailed in statewide elections. They are governors-elect. Executives. Same tools will bear this out.

I assume you're not questioning these. But let me know if you are.

These are very strong arguments. Add to that the fact that the elections won by these women were two of the three big elections we won, and you get a mathematical argument that requires no research. 67%.

These were votes in Congress. I asked what did she run on that was a moderate policy that wouldn't be supported? Nanjeanne Nov 9 #18

When a candidate runs for office, their past votes and/or stances are looked at by the voters. The votes and/or stances Celerity Nov 9 #20
