The facts are clear. President Trump is responsible. He should be held accountable and put in jail. Anyone who believes he should or even could be president again should seriously doubt their conscience. This is unacceptable.
This makes sense. I understand removing Schumer, but I don’t really understand the hate against Jeffries. He ssems fine. It’s just radical anti-AIPAC lefties who want him gone seemingly

“I hope somebody’s documenting this because it’s the only time you’ll ever get me on top of a car,” says Rep-elect JoAnna Mendoza
Seems like Rubio is the obvious pick for Rs. There is no single Republican out there rn that can appeal to the Low Ground, so a middle ground must be found between the High Ground wing and the more establishment types (whom I'd prefer)

As far as I can see, David Valadao's defeat is the worst for a general election incumbent against one major party opponent in 94 years, since the Great Depression.
In 1932, Peter Granata (R) lost to Leo Kocialkowski (D), 72-28.
Even in 2010, Joseph Cao (R) lost to Cedric Richmond (D), 65-34.
Valadao is at 31.9%.

Folks have praised the utility of EV analysis this year. And tbf, Dems had such a MASSIVE turnout edge that it was UNUSUALLY detectable.
However, its key weakness - ZERO persuasion insight - remains. Ralston, the #1 EV expert, missed NV-02 by 8% cuz he couldn’t foresee persuasion.

Close friend tells @PollTracker2024:
“If Democrats run a Mormon version of Adam Hamilton against Mike Lee in Utah, the GOP is so fucked there.”

The House Republican caucus will shift rightward as more moderate members in swing districts lost or retired; the House Democratic caucus will shift to the center as more moderates won in swing districts; this is the normal pattern

It’s crazy that the Senate is about to have three Native American Senators

One thing about all these House upsets is we’re going to get a lot more “normal people” in Congress next term who may be more transparent about the behind-the-scenes stuff that happens in DC.
Like NJ-02 winner Zach Mullock, who’s posting selfies on Instagram from orientation.

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) tells Fox News that he’s running for US Senate in Tennessee in 2028 regardless of Blackburn appoints him.

Jon Ossoff would still have won Georgia’s Senate race even without Fulton, DeKalb, Clayton, and Gwinnett counties.

Good explainer on how many votes might still be outstanding in #MSsen (and why it’s so hard to figure out): apnews.com/article/mississip…

Nate, as usual, has a good read on NV.
But I will say this now about the 2028 NV Senate race: Even in an R+3 environment, it might Lean D because the bluebath destroyed the GOP bench here. They will have to get a state lawmaker w/no base, a former elected or some wealthy person.
