No matter how hard the RepukeLickings like Paul Ryan and Mike Johnson try, God keeps getting in the way of their plans...
RIP.
OK, now what’s the process for replacing him at this stage of the years election season?
Does his death help the Republican House?
Trump’s fault?
RIP..
But he’ll still vote Democrat..................
Hey! We’re ONE up now on the numbers in the House. Good-OH!
I think he had been ill for several weeks and his office tried to hide it, for whatever reason. This increases the R edge to two seats; as I understand it, the D governor under extraordinary circumstances can set a special election for the seat in September which would leave the Payne seat open for the next five months.
This is why you don’t bet everything on a one seat majority holding for eight months.
All these guys are old, on both sides.
How does one minimize Diabetic Coronary Disease— which rapidly ends up in a Myocardial Infarction from hyperlipidemia developing into coronary lesions which break off, form a thrombus and block the coronary arteries blood flow of oxygen to the heart. Diabetics are super high on the coronary risk factor analysis and proven published studies.
In this guy’s case: 1) Male 2)over 40 3) no doubt hypertensive, 4) diet out of control- if “soul food” really out of control high fat, high carb, high sodium (blacks are sodium retentive genetically- a fact constantly overlooked culturally in that population) 5). lifestyle- drinker? Likely 6) Ignoring of early signs/symptoms. 7) blockage is gradual and because of diabetic blood chemistry, very slow to respond with collateral circulation around a compromised vessel.
All speculation but any 3 of the first 5 puts him at HIGH risk of an MI if untreated and if not treated enough— still high.
Heart attack eh? Obligatory vax status inquiry coming up. :)
Represented Newark pretty much means it’s a safe seat for Dems.
One other comment- guy was put on a ventilator the day of the event, and never came off it. It kept him alive, as long as it breathed for him. Wonder why it took family so long to pull the plug. Just a thought. 17 full 24 hour days on a ventilator meant the blood chemistry was not coming back such that could breathe on his own.
Now repubs are up by 2 in house.😀
Also, the vacancy is too close to the general election to call for a special election.
————-
All depends on what the NJ state law says about a special election v. leaving the seat vacant for the general election. Unlike a vacated senate seat, there’s no appointment for a representative seat.

Took the jab and ended up on the slab!!😂
No worries NJ, he’ll still be voting this November!
A solid Democratic vote coming your way! Probably be a mail in !

His name will remain on the ballot and he can be replaced after the primary as per this website who did not wait for the body to get cold to post this.
I wondered why they kept him on the ventilator for so long. Probably has something to do with his replacement.
