A midterm loss of that size requires any president to make a change of this magnitude. Wouldn't be surprised if any more changes took place.

Spanberger's 2025 margin in Va Beach: 11% Luria's 2026 margin in Va Beach: 11%
Political scientists love to say, don’t draw lessons from the Virginia governor’s race, and then every midterm it’s like huge lessons should’ve been drawn from the results in the Virginia governor’s race.

NEW: Sen. Chris Van Hollen says he'll decide by early next year whether to run for president in 2028. I asked him about his presidential ambitions, a potential race involving Gov. Wes Moore, and whether Chuck Schumer should continue leading Senate Democrats.

Why does Mississippi and Alaska results really really really matter? Look at 2028 Senate map. You can see a path for Dems to get to 60 Senators very easily if they have 56 after the 2026 election. Harder with 54 senators.

New York City, Los Angelas and Washington DC will all soon be lead by mayors who identify as Democratic socialists. 2028 Democratic presidential primary is going to be wild.

Caught up with @hakeemjeffries on the steps of the Capitol this morning. He is highly likely your next Speaker of the House. Will he cut deals with Trump? What does history mean to him? He tells me to look at housing as one area of potential bipartisan agreement. @scrippsnews

I told you so post
The voters have spoken, and I want to extend my congratulations to James Talarico on his election to the U.S. Senate. I look forward to meeting him and offering my assistance with his transition as he prepares to serve Texans in the U.S. Senate.

There is a problem with every ballot scanner in Westchester County. We do not yet know the exact cause of the issue, whether it is the ballot or the machine. The Board of Elections is working with their vendors to resolve it. However, every ballot will be counted. Stay on line and vote. Do not leave the polling place without voting.

The driving your own car is such a good look for a politician.
SCARBOROUGH, MAINE— Democratic U.S. Senate Candidate Troy Jackson just arrived at a canvass kickoff alone, in a minivan that he drove himself. This is his second stop of the day, meeting with his supporters the day ahead of Election Day.

Just took a look at 2028 senate map. Important. Whoever loses will have to find a path back to the majority. Margin of victory Tuesday will matter for future makeup of Congress under a new President. Hello Arizona, NV, Ohio, Wisconsin, Georgia, NC, Pennsylvania Alaska and Florida. Both parties can play offense a little. Both parties will have to play some D
