in places this might not happen like Texas (tbd) it might just be candidate quality. and I do think hispanic voters will shift left but polls right now show they're not voting like pre-2020 yet

This is actually a pretty disappointing poll, ngl. NBC/Telemundo's 2024 GCB poll was D+12 and their presidential poll was D+14. If this poll is right, it suggests that Latinos aren't swinging more strongly against Trump. The 2020-2024 realignment "stuck" in other words.

And it’s quite something Trump’s approval sinking in GOP internals has happened in the last two weeks. That doesnt seem like late breaking undecided voters are going GOP

If Talarico does win by 6 he probably would've beat Cornyn too. I think he will win by 1-2

All the State Senate seats in the US that voted for Trump, but by under 10%. Obviously Democrats hold some of these seats, but these are the big targets for Democrats in 2026. Both in defending them, and flipping them. LINK: electioncord.com/suffragium/

I just cannot imagine a 2028 primary without someone credible from the left. it would just be hard to fathom after the last 2 years.

I gotta say, the whole "Charlie Kirk Effect" was the biggest nothingburger I've ever seen in my years of following elections. This was from a special election in Minnesota about a week after it happened where the Democrats underperformed by 5 points. They then proceeded to belt the GOP in November.

So, one thing I'm interested to see in tmrw's primaries is if buying ads in rural areas continues to be a hack to winning votes. Because Raja Krishnamoorthi did nothing in rural Illinois and still managed to win all of them bc he carpet-bombed the airwaves.

John Fetterman's appearance on WaPo's Make It Make Sense podcast—in which he spends a good portion of it trashing Abdul El-Sayed—has generated only 3,600 views in two days, despite getting a lot of play on Fox. Also, he'll apparently wear a suit for a podcast nobody watches -- but not for his job.
