Wisconsin Senate candidate Mandela Barnes (D) refused to campaign with President Joe Biden at Milwaukee’s Laborfest campaign event on Labor Day.
Barnes’ refusal to be publicly seen with Biden at the presidential campaign event is likely because Biden is deeply unpopular in Wisconsin. Only 41 percent approve of Biden in the Badger State, while 53 percent disapprove, a Civiqs poll found.

This speaks volumes...........................
With a name like Mandela ...
Byers remorse. Didn’t they elect him.
Polls are very deceiving. Rational, decent people do not take unsolicited calls from strangers and then discuss their personal political beliefs and preferences. The polls underestimate the preferences of rational, decent people.
I remember when a really smart guy told me “there’s no way the American people are gonna elect a guy named Baraq Hussein”.....
Oh, Mandela is a black man, probably named after South African guy.
I must have said that a hundred times. And I laughed about it, too.
No laughing matter.
Yes, and the very fake polls have Mandela ahead of Ron Johnson. Sure thing! Go away.
Mandela Barnes Refuses to Campaign with Joe Biden in Home State Wisconsin.
This shows that Mandela at least still has a working danger sensor.
There will be many more rodents that won’t be seen with the Occupy White House puppet.
Most recent events tell me we didn't.
Mandela…..
It probably didn’t help that McLame endorsed him during the campaign...
Biden is white, which will turn off Barnes’s base.
I told a couple of friends that. They still remind me about it……..

SPAKOVSKY: The Federal Gov’s Bungled Census Is Bad News For Red States. Here’s Why
OPINIONUS Census Suspends Field Work During Coronavirus Outbreak
SAN ANSELMO, CALIFORNIA - MARCH 19: The U.S. Census logo appears on census materials received in the mail with an invitation to fill out census information online on March 19, 2020 in San Anselmo, California. The U.S. Census Bureau announced that it has suspended census field operations for the next two weeks over concerns of the census workers and their public interactions amid the global coronavirus pandemic.

If a politician from Florida decides to run for president in 2024, his (or her) home state will be short two votes in the Electoral College, and when the new session of the U.S. House of Representatives convenes in January 2023, Florida will be missing two congressional seats to which it is entitled.
Why? Because according to a post-2020 census survey, the U.S. Census Bureau significantly undercounted the population of Florida, as well as Arkansas, Illinois, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. At the same time, it overcounted the population of eight states, all but one of which is a blue state. (RELATED: ORTIZ: Here’s One Economic Story Nobody In The White House Wants To Talk About)
The 2020 errors were discovered when the Census Bureau interviewed a large number of households across the country and compared the answers it got to the original census responses in 2020. In addition to undercounting six states, the survey showed that the Bureau overcounted the population of Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island and Utah.
Funny coincidence – the Census made its largest overcount percentage error in President Joe Biden’s tiny home state of Delaware, which was overcounted by 5.45%. But Rhode Island and Minnesota were also overcounted by 5.05% and 3.84%, respectively, which allowed each of them to keep a congressional seat to which they are not entitled.
Minnesota, according to the original census report, would have lost a congressional seat during reapportionment if it had 26 fewer residents; the survey shows the state was overcounted by 216,971 individuals. Similarly, Rhode Island would have lost a seat if the Census Bureau had counted 19,000 fewer residents. It turns out that the state was overcounted by more than 55,000 individuals.
So both states will continue to have more representation in Congress, and more votes in the Electoral College, than they should. The same is true of Colorado, which was awarded a new congressional seat that it should not have gotten.
Contrast that with Texas, which the Census Bureau survey says was undercounted by almost 2%. That represents over a half a million Texans, which means that, like Florida, Texas was cheated out of an additional member of Congress. At that time, the Census Bureau said that Texas needed only 189,000 more people to gain another congressional seat. Turns out Texas already had them.
Arkansas had the largest percentage undercount at 5.04%, which represented over 150,000 residents of the state.
These errors by the Census Bureau also mean that the overcounted states will be receiving a larger share of the over $1.5 trillion in federal funds that are distributed to the states over the next decade based on their states’ populations. And the undercounted states? They will be getting less funding than they should.
There is no remedy in the federal statutes governing the census and apportionment to correct this problem. The scope of this problem was unusually high, and the Census Bureau has not offered any explanation as to how this happened.
By way of comparison, the survey the Census Bureau conducted after the 2010 census showed a statistically insignificant error rate of only 0.01%, which means the Bureau only missed counting 36,000 Americans. Quite a startling difference from the 2020 census.
Even if the states most affected could win a case in court, how would you come up with a remedy? Ordering the Census Bureau to conduct another actual recount in the 14 affected states would be a complex, expensive undertaking that would provide numbers on a different date than the original census whose population totals from April 1, 2020, would still be in effect for the rest of the states, raising fundamental fairness issues given the high mobility of our population. And ordering a new census of the entire nation also seems impractical.
But there is no question Congress needs to get to the bottom of what happened. It must use its oversight authority to investigate the Census Bureau, its methods, procedures and operations to determine how and why these errors happened. We have to ensure that the necessary changes are made that won’t allow this to happen again.

Jesse is gonna lose. His given name is JESSE. And badly. But, he doesn’t care. He’s just in it for the cash ala Beto O’Dork.
He’s a ‘Jesse.’ A grifter to the core.
So where are all the party honchos, the Dem PTB, and the rank and file to greet their Dem prez?
And where are the candidates?
Word is Democrats are ready to campaign with Biden........
that leaked out of loser DEM Terry McAuliffe’s camp...../s.
And the country would see that unfold this week........oh happy day.
REALITY CHECK Biden needs to be medically jacked up on some sort of amphetamine to pull off even a single campaign appearance. His Soul of the Nation flopola showed in No way is he prepared to hit the campaign trail in any meaningful manner. (Courtesy Flick Lives)
