One thing about all these House upsets is we’re going to get a lot more “normal 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.

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) tells Fox News that he’s running for US Senate in Tennessee in 2028 regardless of Blackburn appoints him.

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

Good explainer on how many votes might still be outstanding in #MSsen (and why it’s so hard to figure out): apnews.com/article/mississip…

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.

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.

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!

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 “unknown” Dems just got elected, and many are already predicting their demise.
Worth noting, tho, that a former “unknown” 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.

Former Indiana Governor Evan Bayh reacts to his son, Beau, declaring victory in the Secretary of State race
“As a father I’m proud of him for dedicating his life to something other than himself”

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?

IMO the most impressive flip for Scott Colom in Mississippi is DeSoto County.
It's just outside Memphis: Trump+24 in 2024, Colom+6
In a Senate race, DeSoto last voted blue for segregationist John Stennis in 1982.

Bad policy, bad character make bad politics: erratic tariffs, impulsive Iran war, blanket pardons, apparent corruption, weaponized justice, ICE brutality, mountainous deficits, hiding Epstein, abandoning allies and coddling enemies. Hoping for a course correction, for the country and for my party.

A lot of Democrats waking up right now saying "I won the WHAT?!"
In North Carolina, Democrats who functionally raised almost *no* money somehow unseated entrenched Republicans in gerrymandered seats.
Ironically, this helped them — no spending = no attention = huge swings!
