- JoeRT @polisciqueenn: for reference this was 2020, so the fact that acton won 877 out of 898 precincts in cuyahoga county is insaneLefty for Sherrod Brown @Lyndon_Baines_Wow you are telling me this for the first time01049
- JoeRT @StatisticUrban: Utah. It had an *enormous* blue wave on Tuesday, obscured somewhat by not having a statewide race. It went R+1 in combined US House races. I can imagine a scenario where it snaps back to solidly GOP if MAGA is gone and what replaces it is slightly more chill. But I can also see a future that has Bluetah in it. Utah is a very young state, a very highly educated state, a very wealthy states, with a decent Latino population, and 80% of the popualtion lives in the cities/suburbs along the Wasatch Front - SLC, Provo, etc. The rurals are actually very numerically weak. It's the bluest-shifting state since 2004 Very strong candidates like Ben McAdams could very well challenge bad GOP candidates like Mike Lee sooner than you might think.06049
- The good news is he isn't associated with the Trump administration. And he's actually not that stupid. The bad news for Republicans is he absolutely has zero charisma.VoteHub @VoteHubNEWS — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is preparing another run for president in 2028, according to three people briefed on his plans, per @washingtonpost.10143244.4K

- Can whoever made that 2024 image of Bob Casey January 6th make a new version of it with Casey Hyde-SmithCindy Hyde-Smith @cindyhydesmithWe are not backing down. This election is not over. Our team is working across Mississippi to monitor the remaining ballots and protect the integrity of the process. We will see this through to the very end!41054014.3K
- DOES THAT SAY 96%???????G Elliott Morris @gelliottmorrisBlack voter turnout held at ~96% of 2024, the highest rate for any midterm in at least a decade, in the Deep South on Tues. If Scott Colom manages to win Mississippi's Senate seat, it wouldn't have been possible without sky-high engagement of Black voters321903.7K

- Tom Begich your time is nowKyle @NYPoliticsTakesMurkowski is vulnerable in 2028 and Dems should run a candidate against her unless she switches party. Alaska is clearly not a solid red state anymore and we don’t have to settle for her.331674.4K

And he’s probably lucky the Senate Dems didn’t run a candidate against him. Hard to imagine a +7.2 Harris district not going blue this year.0130123
- JoeRT @ECaliberSeven: Firmly believe that if NY Dems drew Constantino into even a low single-digits Trump seat, he’d 100% get smacked by Gendebien in a rematch (if he’s interested). Gendebien ran a PHENOMENAL campaign - Constantino 100% got bailed out by Bruce Blakeman.Ethan C7 @ECaliberSevenJust for fun: Gende-mander0160130

- JoeRT @admcrlsn: If you’re a Democrat doing intra-party score settling — whether ideological or personal — and 2028 posturing on Twitter after three days after we just won 260 U.S. House seats, flipped 9 U.S. seats, flipped 7 Governor’s mansions & flipped 11 state legislative chambers, you have lost all perspective.0580104
- JoeRT @JMilesColeman: NC Republicans would have likely held 5 seats if they kept the fairer 2022 map in place (instead of leading in just 4 districts now). Richard Hudson would have still lost 54%-46% in NC-9, though.0530156
- JoeRT @Redistrict: With Dems all but certain to prevail in Mississippi and Alaska, we're most likely looking at a 56D-44R Senate and a ~260D-175R House, which would be Dems' largest House majority since 1992.01.3K0122
- It's 100% Jame Talarico, but Abdul was probably the second most discussed candidate the entire cycle.1181246.2K132K

The brains behind the livestream. These guys took the idea and made it real, from TN-7 to Election Night this week and 22 primaries in between. (Josh Braun too, who is getting well earned Zzz’s!)0167053

- JoeRT @ashtonpittman: This is a pattern we are seeing across Mississippi: Scott Colom is winning affidavit ballots by a significantly larger margin than in the overall vote. For Cindy Hyde-Smith to retake the lead, she needs to be outperforming in affidavit ballots instead. She's not.Ashton Pittman @ashtonpittmanDemocrat Scott Colom is overperforming among affidavit votes in the race for U.S. Senate in Alcorn, Chickasaw and Itawamba counties. That meant Hyde-Smith only netted 71 votes from affidavit ballots across the 3 counties—despite big overall leads in two.01890150

- JoeRT @ZacharyDonnini: In the end, Republicans probably lost even more ground with young voters than polling anticipated. At FSU, for example, the margin shifted from Harris+13 to Nixon+70.0830109
