#HakeemJeffries talked about #Republicans rollback of #Biden-era #CleanEnergy #TaxCredits. Jeffries pointed to a letter from several #HouseRepublicans who had asked for those credits to be preserved.

Jeffries has at times singled out members of #Congress whose seats #Democrats hope to flip next year. He has been particularly critical of Reps #DavidValadao of #California & #JuanCiscomani of #Arizona, who both have objected to the bill’s provisions at various points but have voted to advance it.

Too early prediction for the #Arizona 2024 #Senate race.

#RubenGallego runs as the Democrat. #KyrstenSinema hides from voters and takes an opulent job with an investment bank. Sane folks in the #Republican party convince #JuanCiscomani to leave his House seat and run for the Senate, dreaming of a race with two Latinos running on hard work and blue collar success. His promising campaign is torpedoed in the primary by #MAGA darling #KariLake. Gallego beats Lake in the general.

“The GOP's poorly branded ‘Commitment to America’ should be shelved until they can convince a majority that the right wing of the party doesn't need to be committed to the care of the state.”

and

“The GOP would be in a better place if #JuanCiscomani’s response was also in English and Huckabee Sanders' were only delivered in its original German.

Ciscomani's Spanish response to Biden did him no harm — and that's doing a lot | What the Devil won't tell you

Rep. Juan Cicomani's Spanish-language response to President Biden's State of the Union offered a more mature casting of the GOP than the heckling and woke paranoia that animated his fellow Republicans' reactions.
