Wild. Lee Zeldin carried Nassau and Suffolk by double digits in 2022. And Donald Trump won them easily in 2024. But in 2026, the pendulum swung back. Kathy Hochul flipped them, Dems netted a few legislative seats there, and the GOP incumbent members of Congress barely hung on.

At the beginning of this cycle people thought the GOP would gain Senate seats. This was a terrible map for Democrats. But because of the hard work of the DSCC, Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, Dems are going to now have a 55 or 56 majority.

We also have to thank Marc Elias for his tireless pursuit of justice. Fighting all the illegal things and BS cases that Trump tried to use to steal the election. Thank you Sir #Midterms2026

Joe Walsh, a former Republican representative from Illinois: “No political party and no president have ever deserved an electoral thumping and a complete political repudiation more than this political party and this president deserve.”

This is fun.
Replying to @constantino
Anthony Constantino was by far the worst candidate I ever encountered. I ran way ahead of him in his District and if it weren’t for me he wouldn’t have won. See you in two years, pal.

Trump asked the people to vote as if he were on the ballot. THEY DID. Thank you Americans from coast to coast.

Most anti-First Amendment president in this country’s history.👇
CNN was scheduled to be today’s TV pool. But the White House blocked us from being allowed in for the president’s event in the Oval Office that’s now underway. That means none of the five networks will have audio or video of his remarks.

Zohran Mamdani is on fire. 🔥 🇺🇸JD Vance at 6:00 PM: We lost due to the Iran war which causes household inflation for Americans 🇺🇸Zohran at 7:00 PM: "Bro you are VP of USA, not a random Twitter troll. You can't post like it's someone else's war. You started it, You can end it. Stop tweeting and crying, start acting." Brutally Cooked 👏

I put together a list of everything that broke the back of Trumpism. The gas prices. The unsanctioned war. The massive corruption. The incompetence. The tariffs. Playing nice with Russia. The cruelty against American citizens. The overly aggressive deportations. The accidental arrests of American citizens who were Hispanic.
The ballroom. The reflecting pool that doesn’t reflect. The Qatari 747. The aggressive redistricting push. The threats against our allies. By the way, I’m scratching the tip of the iceberg.

Kathy Hochul didn't just end the careers of Mike Lawler, Elise Stefanik and Bruce Blakeman. She has sent NY Republicans into civil war. What a boss.
Elise Stefanik is a selfish, do nothing politician that didn’t lift a finger to help Republican candidates in New York this year. She had one moment of glory in what was otherwise an unremarkable career.

The most underestimated politician in America: our gov.
The updated @KathyHochul results tell a remarkable story: - More than tripled her 2022 margin - Flipped counties that were in the GOP column 4 years ago: • Nassau & Suffolk • Rockland & Orange & Dutchess • Saratoga & Rensselaer • Broome • Ontario • Warren A HUGE mandate.
