Aisha Wahab

Tonight, a debate was held in Dublin between two candidates fighting to fill a congressional seat in the East Bay.

Aisha Wahab is the incumbent, having won a special election back in August over BART board director Melissa Hernandez.

Wahab is filling the remainder of former congressman Eric Swalwell's seat, and this pair is facing off again to determine who will represent District 14 for a full two-year term.

KTVU's Tori Gaines live in Dublin tonight after attending that debate.

Oh, my

...

US Representative Aisha Wahab took the most-

Imagine you have to go to some of your donors four different times in an election cycle for four different elections

Thank you.

I want to talk about the district here in Livermore, Ayesha Wahab and Melissa Hernandez.

That is Eric Swalwell's former district.

I'm waiting for I'm definitely voting for Ayesha Wahab.

What I wanted to talk about is the lack of enthusiasm among the South Asian.

And I I see a hint of Islamophobia with Ayesha Wahab.

And I would like to hear from your guest who is leading right now between these two candidates and any thoughts on a large population of Indian-Americans.

Unfortunately, I have not seen that kind of enthusiasm for Ayesha Wahab.

Now you've not only have Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, you've got three more Islamists.

So Swalwell's seat went from a CCP seat to now being an Islamist seat who is a Taliban sympathizer.

Adam Hamaway in New Jersey, the former Blind Sheikhs translator, and Andre Carson, so many others that are Islamists in Congress.

We need an offense, which is why we need a firewall in Congress.

Now you not only have Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, you've got three more Islamists, Aisha Wahab taking over Swalwell's seat.

Politico is also reporting that Bernie Sanders is cracking open his war chest on behalf of campaigns he is backing, including the Senate campaign of Peggy Flanagan and Attorney General re-election campaign of Keith Ellison, both in Minnesota and the Angie Nixon Senate campaign in Florida.

In addition to direct transfers of funds to these campaigns, Sanders is also spending to hire more full-time organizers in Michigan, Minnesota, and Florida, and is planning get-out-the-vote text campaigns for federal candidates he's endorsed, as well as planning a California swing where he will campaign with Aisha Wahab and Randy Villegas in the state's 14th and 22nd congressional districts.

This piece also indicates he may rally with Rebecca Cook, running to oust a Republican incumbent in Wisconsin.

Cook has openly said she does not want to campaign with Kamala Harris, but said Sanders speaks to many of the same voters who backed Trump and emphasized that his sincerity about standing up for people who are getting screwed resonates a lot with families like mine.
