The 2024 Presidential Election Cycle

I highly doubt it. 6 of the 9 Supreme Court justices were appointed by Republicans. Also, it appears like they're signaling that Trump can stay on the ballot. -
Next week is the Iowa caucus, and thus the start of the 2024 election cycle. Looks like it's gonna be Trump vs Biden again.

Primary Pro Sports City/Cities?
cavalieratmosphere replied to cavalieratmosphere's topic in College and Pro Sports
I voted for Washington DC, but I'm also supportive of Cincinnati/Columbus sports teams. -
What is your primary city/cities that you support in terms of being a fan of their pro sports teams? I feel like Cincinnati and Atlanta are popular for this area.

The predicted winners of the major races in the area won. However, the Democrats take control of the State Senate and the House of Delegates, completing a Democrat trifecta. https://www.virginiamercury.com/2019/11/06/virginia-democrats-win-control-of-general-assembly-sealing-trump-era-power-shift/ -

You mean Kilgore/Elkins? For me, it's the same thing, do they have any policy difference, outside of Kilgore being a Republican and Elkins being a Democrat? -

Unfortunately, how can one afford to move out? Also, I'm sure there's a large amount of competition for those well paying positions for the cities from Roanoke to NoVa to Richmond to Hampton Roads.

I meant that they were towns/cities of resistance in comparison to towns like Pound, Appalachia, Coeburn, etc. where citizens of those towns typically go to Wise and Norton to do stuff.

What do you think are examples of the pockets of resistance? I think it might include Wise and Norton.

At least Virginia has Medicaid expansion now, so that at least helps some worse off people...
