It's clearly the media's fault that Andy Reid's team doesn't have a way to get a yard when they need it.

Georgia already posted who voted in 2026. In heavily Trump precincts, 1 in 3 of 2024’s voters stayed home, while in precincts Harris won overwhelmingly it was 1 in 4. 420K people who skipped 2024 showed up, with a 2:1 ratio in more Democratic areas.
Using precinct results from 11 states, we estimate ~75% of Democrats’ net gain came from the turnout gap and ~20% from vote switching. Exit polls imply 35% nationally, but turnout still leads. 8 in 9 Trump voters who didn’t vote GOP stayed home.

Fact: 84% of the House districts Dems are on track to flip this year contain a Cracker Barrel, and just 59% are home to a Whole Foods.
By contrast, 67% of the districts Dems flipped in 2018 contained a Whole Foods, and just 56% were home to a Cracker Barrel.

Democrats' net gain in some state legislative chambers is so large that you have to go back to the 19th century.
DEMs' net gain in the NH Senate precedes the Republican Party; you have to go back to 1847 (!)
DEMs' net gain in the TX House is the largest since Reconstruction ended

Fifty six senators (if margins hold) will get a vote. 47 of them supported Schumer two years ago. He needs 29 votes and no one else is running.
He’s not in danger barring some extraordinary turn of events in the next week.

All the people who won don't want Schumer as leader! The larger margin of winning just meant that there's even MORE of them who don't want him as leader! I'm losing my mind, how is this not obvious to people who write about politics for a living
