They refused to vote for Kamala Harris because of lies they believed on TikTok. They believed she was responsible for the genocide in Gaza. The same people are now dog piling Jasmine Crockett in the race for the US senate seat for Texas over the same type of lie.

He was clear he'd only serve one term in the upcoming administration if our ticket had won. This would have gone two more years beyond that.
