.@jrpsaki: "By handing over the reins of power to his political rival, President Biden will be restoring a vital tradition. Because putting your country first means respecting the will of the people, no matter the outcome.”

And that’s because we’re a bunch of insufferable do-gooders with no sense of humor.

If these numbers hold up, their implication is pretty staggering: the U.S. House being modestly biased in DEMOCRATS’ favor, in aggregate, for the first time since the early 1990s. Republicans’ geographic advantage in redistricting has not just eroded but actually flipped.
New @CookPolitical: as in 2022, House Dems are reaping a slight "battleground bonus" - they're on track to win ~48.5% of all major party votes cast for House but ~49.4% of seats. cookpolitical.com/vote-track…

"The people who watched Trump’s television ads... had not been harmed by a transgender person, or by an immigrant, or by a woman of color. The magic lies in the daring it takes to declare a weaker group to be part of an overwhelming conspiracy."

My top priority in the Senate will be delivering for California families.
I’ll work with anyone to lower costs and get results.
RR Edmonds retweeted
So grateful to Californians for giving me this opportunity to represent them.
Bringing down the cost of housing, child care, food and medicine — these are my priorities.
I’m ready to roll up my sleeves, find people across the aisle, and make sure we deliver.

“There’s a real disconnect between how voters perceived Trump’s economic plan, and what we have in store for us.”
.@katieporteroc brings out her whiteboard to explain how Trump’s agenda will lead to higher costs.

The vote is on Wednesday and Trump world, including folks like Tucker Carlson, are making a big push for people to call their Senators and demand they vote for Rick Scott over John Cornyn and John Thune.

Sorry @tribelaw but after 4 years of research into the Nazis what I learned is that a Constitution is a piece of parchment that becomes useless as soon as someone has the supporting cast to overthrow it.
Trump has that in the GOP who will follow him in this as in all things.

Updated estimate:
Harris 76.2m votes (48.4%)
Trump 78.5m votes (49.9%)
other 2.6m votes (1.5%)
Total turnout 157.3m votes (vs 158.6m in 2020)
Trump margin +1.5%
Tipping-point state: PA (Trump +2.1%)
RR Edmonds retweeted
Saying it again 49.9% with a 1.5% margin is not an overwhelming majority.
Stop feeding the narrative that he won overwhelmingly. The nation is split as it has been and he won on the margin. Half the nation said “no” and let’s not act otherwise

Trump world has been whipping for Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader and now Rubio joins the growing list of supporters.
I will be voting for my Florida colleague @ScottforFlorida to be our next Senate GOP leader

All of the hundreds of worst-case-scenario questions you are sending me via email and DM, the answer is yes. Yes he could and yes he would.

They do not believe he lies.
They do not believe he committed any crimes.
They have been told and 50 million believe that WE are the liars and WE are the criminals.
And they’re going to come for us.
LISTENING TIME: As a journalist who cares deeply about facts, I have struggled to understand why people did not view Donald Trump's constant lies to be repugnant. If you voted for him, how do you reconcile that issue with your vote? #HonestQuestion

Both Oregon and Washington shifted even more Blue and both are states with 90% white populations.
