House control hangs in the balance

I don’t scare easy. I’ve been booed by a studio audience and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. (In that order!)

Friends, it’s Al Franken.
I don’t scare easy. I’ve been booed by a studio audience and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. (In that order!)
But I’ll tell you what does scare me: the idea that House control could come down to a few hundred votes in one Upstate New York congressional district, and that district happens to be NY-19. (I won my first race by 312 votes, so I know this fear can become a reality.)
No pressure, folks.
My former staffer and friend Josh Riley already beat the odds once. He flipped this seat in a district that wasn’t supposed to be winnable, and he’s spent his first term actually fighting for the people who sent him there: taking on greedy corporations and corruption in Washington to lower costs.
So naturally, the MAGA money machine hates him. They’ll spend whatever it takes to beat Josh and turn Upstate New York red.
Because if we lose NY-19, we don't take back the House. It's that simple.
Thank you!
Al Franken
P.S. I've seen a lot of races in 20 years of doing this. This is one of the ones that actually decides who runs Washington. Don't sit this one out.
