The facts are clear. President Trump is responsible. He should be held accountable and put in jail. Anyone who believes he should or even could be president again should seriously doubt their conscience. This is unacceptable.

It’s crazy that the Senate is about to have three Native American Senators
Results are still coming in, and we are seeing some incredible numbers. In St. Mary's, more Alaskans voted for me on Election Day this year than voted at ALL in 2024. Thank you St. Mary’s, for the warm welcome earlier this year and for turning out to vote!

One thing about all these House upsets is we’re going to get a lot more β€œnormal people” in Congress next term who may be more transparent about the behind-the-scenes stuff that happens in DC. Like NJ-02 winner Zach Mullock, who’s posting selfies on Instagram from orientation.

Jon Ossoff would still have won Georgia’s Senate race even without Fulton, DeKalb, Clayton, and Gwinnett counties.

Nate, as usual, has a good read on NV. But I will say this now about the 2028 NV Senate race: Even in an R+3 environment, it might Lean D because the bluebath destroyed the GOP bench here. They will have to get a state lawmaker w/no base, a former elected or some wealthy person.
Should probably have held this for next week, but what the hell. I found myself sketching out some Senate scenarios on my train down to DC, so I figured I’d share some *very* early views about what the *2028* Senate map might look like under 3 scenarios:

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.

Gerrymander of #nc1 was incredibly effective in cutting into the Democratic vote share. It only β€œfailed” bc of the 100 year flood electoral environment. 2028 likely won’t look like this . #ncpol

Downballot: Jamie Davis (D) is considering bid for Louisiana Governor in 2027 After coming shockingly close to winning Tuesday’s U.S. Senate race, the Louisiana Democrat is now talking about challenging the state’s Republican governor next year Davis, at his election night party: β€œJeff Landry, you’re on notice, buddy.” Link to article: the-downballot.com/p/morning…

Though he’s on track to very narrowly lose it, Doug Jones is doing better in AL-5 this year that he did against Roy Moore in 2017!
This result is just bonkers. Strong is a *very* good incumbent.

DEMOCRATS WIN SENATE POPULAR VOTE ACROSS FORMER CONFEDERATE STATES Democrats won the combined Senate popular vote across ten former Confederate states, securing 20,782,908 votes (53.74%) to Republicans' 17,888,197 (46.26%)β€”a margin of nearly 2.9 million votes. The result is a major victory for Democrats in a region Republicans have dominated for decades. High Black voter turnout helped fuel the result, carrying particular historical significance in states where Black Americans were once denied the right to vote. Democrats broke decades-long losing streaks in Texas and South Carolina. James Talarico became the first Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate from Texas since Lloyd Bentsen in 1988, while Annie Andrews delivered South Carolina's first Democratic Senate victory since 1998.

It’s underrated how well Dems are doing in Utah, House Dem candidate there is currently winning a Trump +23 county (that’s almost certainly redder downballot).

A lot of β€œunknown” Dems just got elected, and many are already predicting their demise. Worth noting, tho, that a former β€œunknown” Dem is now the next senator for Alaska. Some will undoubtedly lose. But this is a FANTASTIC opportunity to find/create some diamonds in the rough.

This is insane! Here is a map of yesterday’s Indiana House results if they were drawn under the attempted Republican gerrymander map from last Fall. Thank you to @Vulst3 for breaking down the data to make this map. The gerrymander could’ve netted us a 9-0 or 8-1 map potentially!

Now that these rigged maps have spectacularly backfired, can we all get on board with banning partisan gerrymandering now?
