(Washington) - Now that Marcia Fudge has been confirmed, and sworn in as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, what happens next for her old seat in the U.S. House of Representatives?
First, constituents in the 11th District will still be able to receive Congressional services. Fudge s staff will stay on in the same offices until her successor is chosen.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine will have to schedule both a special primary and general election, with the winner taking over the 11th District seat. The district is heavily Democratic, and so far, only Democrats have announced their intentions.

As January 6th approaches that day being the moment when the new Congress will gather in Washington to validate - or not validate - the results of the Electoral College, it takes no imagination to see what might be called the kraken media the enormous monster that is today’s mainstream liberal media preparing to rise from the depths to destroy anyone and everyone who stands up in Congress or out of it to fight what millions of Americans who have questions about the election.
The Constitution requires both a member of the House and a member of the Senate in order for a debate to be forced on the election tallies as presented by the Electoral College. Some thirty House Republicans have made their intentions to do this known. Until this week no senator stepped forward. Now Missouri’s Republican Senator Josh Hawley has stated he will be the minimally required one Senator to object.

Democrats are outraged that Republicans are planning on objecting to the certification of electoral votes. It’s “conspiracy and fantasy,” says Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
“The effort by the sitting President of the United States to overturn the results is patently undemocratic,” the New York Democrat said. “The effort by others to amplify and burnish his ludicrous claims of fraud is equally revolting.”
“This is America. We have elections. We have results. We make arguments based on the fact and reason not conspiracy and fantasy,” he added.
There’s only one problem with Chucky’s “argument based on fact and reason.” Democrats have been challenging the electoral vote certification for 2 decades.
