on this date in September 2025 the polling averages had Dems up for Governor in NJ and VA by 7 points. Dems won these races by 13 and 15 points. A good argument can be made that today the polls are actually underestimating the Dem wave that is coming.

Holding this maternal healthcare event alongside Harris was a smart move by El-Sayed, and a necessary one. He needs to strengthen Black support in Michigan. The divisions of the 2024 uncommitted movement were real, and Black voters haven’t forgotten how ugly that election became. #HealthcareForAll
