I am grateful for every Democratic victory on Tuesday night, but I am over the damn moon that it looks like this kids like Christian will no longer be represented by this absolute ghoul of a right-wing ideologue.

A 10-year old boy wrote Virginia Foxx a letter as part of a school project. He had to write a persuasive essay and he chose tax credits for electric vehicles. The congresswoman responded by ripping him & his teacher. Last night, voters retired Rep. Foxx.

As bad as things were for Republicans on election night, they were arguably worse in North Carolina — ground zero for a repudiation of President Trump’s attempts to strong-arm GOP control of government that left this formerly red Southern state blue. wapo.st/4zr2UlM
North Carolina Republicans might have had the worst night of all

North Carolina Republicans might have had the worst night of all

A redistricting effort aimed to limit Democrats to three U.S. House seats; they may end up holding 10. The state House also went blue for the first time in 16 years.

Roy Cooper received 1,728,410 votes from early voting. Michael Whatley received 1,643,088 votes in total. Sen. Elect Roy Cooper would have won this race even if he received ZERO votes on Election Day! Outrageous stuff.

BREAKING: Democrats just FLIPPED the North Carolina House! North Carolina Dems have defied the odds with this win, marking a consequential shift in the legislative balance of power. They’ll now be able to drive the agenda for progress for the first time in over 15 years.

If you are watching this and just have a passing familiarity with elections, just understand you're seeing something special, a 100-year flood. Easily the worst election for a party since 1974.

Republicans redrew the maps in NC, and right now, NRCC Chair Richard Hudson and Tim Moore are on track to lose their House seats. I can't stop laughing.

I was working with @ClimatePower polling data centers for the last year or so. When we started, it was a neutral issue. The move against it, particularly when powered by fossil fuels, was one of the fastest moving issues we've ever seen.
