Latest numbers: across the seven battleground states, the '20-'24 swing towards Trump was ~3.1 pts. Across the other 43 states (+DC), it was ~6.7 pts.
Bottom line: the Harris campaign swam impressively against some very strong underlying currents.

It is incredibly gutsy to release this poll. It won't put Harris ahead in our forecast because there was also another Iowa poll out today that was good for Trump. But wouldn't want to play poker against Ann Selzer.

The hardest part of working at Elections BC is letting Bonnie Henry in at night to fill out fraudulent ballots

Free votes sound like a nice idea, John. But in practice this means letting your crazy candidates pass laws and vote however they want.
Here are some of the people you’re handing the keys to. 1/

I don't think it's necessarily unprincipled to strategically swap parties, even if Falcon said it is.
It IS unprincipled to declare something unprincipled, brag that you have too many principles to doo such a thing, and then do the thing two weeks later.

Hearing there is a group of B.C United and B.C. Conservative candidates in the Okanagan who might form their own party if not selected to run for Conservatives or are booted from campaign. Name being floated is Okanagan Alliance Party. #bcpoli

just pointing out that it's more than a little weird for a political party's core "founding principle" to be simply to keep another political party out of government. Usually it's something that occurs in tandem w/ some positive desire for a certain goal, not the essential thing.
I imagine this was a gut wrenching decision for BCU leader Kevin Falcon.
The reason the free-enterprise coalition BC Liberal Party was formed was to fight the NDP and keep them out of government. Kevin’s decision today proves his commitment to that founding principle. #bcpoli
Does this mean incumbent protection?
NEW - Deal has been reached for BC United to suspend provincial election campaign and some of its candidates will run for B.C. Conservatives. Kevin Falcon will not be running in the election. The list is still being worked on for others running for Conservatives. #bcpoli

Tim Walz really is that guy at Home Depot that you don’t know that spends 20-30 minutes randomly explaining to you why you need to use hex bolts for your project. JD Vance is the guy berating the cashier at Panera for not giving him a refill on his lemonade. That’s the difference
"I'm just from rural Minnesota but out there we know a few things about things and one of them is loveseat is a noun not a verb. You got the right to love whoever you want to love but your running mate's judges want to deny you that right." - @GovTimWalz at a future VP debate.
