MO-02 has to be worse for him then, given that it's a little to the left of the state as a whole!

It's gotta be to help protect KY-06.

I saw that and thought, if they’re worried about Tennessee, then hoooh boy…

Believe me, in my 20s it wouldn’t have been a problem, but that stuff makes me feel like trash in the morning now if I have more than 2 in a night.

Yikes, the GOP might be lucky they didn't go for that 9-0 map.

On the flip side, the Rs have to be frustrated that they're perpetually stuck in the mid 40s in a state Trump won by 20 points.

"However, when asked who they think will win, regardless of their own preferences, most believe Ramaswamy will beat Acton (55% to 43%) and Husted and Brown are tied at 48%-48%" What is the use of this information? It seems to me like this is some kind of homage to betting markets, which... 🫠

Dallas County, just west of Des Moines, is also one to watch. Two close GOP victories there in the last few presidential elections, so I’d say if the Dem is in high single digits there, they’d start feeling good about things.

They drew a map with no competitive districts. UT-01 is a guaranteed pickup for Dems, so neither side has invested anything into it. Seeing plenty of lawn signs in Sugarhouse, though, including one for Kathleen Anderson 🤢

Thats like 2025 New Jersey-level bad. Hopefully this is what happens with the Flanagan situation in MN.

I’ve been thinking about NE-01 a lot. Osborn did win it, and at Trump+12, it’s in the same league as several others the Dems are seriously contesting.

Nah, Fox News polling is pretty accurate (even though their news isn’t).

Pretty close to his average approval of 37.5 on Silver Bulletin (as of 7:51 pm MDT).

Seems like they're trying to create a fall-back line, knowing the House is gone.

It’s strange Gwinnett would be trailing. Feels like those left-zooming suburbs are usually hotbeds of motivated voters.

I voted yes for Jill Pohlman because she voted in favor of the new map. I don't know anything about the others.

North Carolina is a pretty inelastic state on the federal level. While I thoroughly believe Cooper is winning, it wouldn't be out of the question for him to win by mid-single digits, even in a wave.

Mute: The accounts that post the same thing every day and clog up my feed (e.g., "The president of the United States is a liar.") Block: "Democrats and Republicans are the same" OR "Democrats used to be the party of racism." Great observation! Mail it to the 1960s when it mattered.

A red GA would be a consequential eyesore on what's shaping up to be a pretty blue gubernatorial map. This is the right move.

I didn't even know we were trying for TN05. There's only so much a poor economy will do when you're in the white South and a sizable portion of your district thinks black people should still be slaves.

Even that's questionable. Democrats have several states they can gerrymander to even the playing field.

Hey Reuters, your editor needs to brush up on their basic civics: Senate seats are statewide and can't be gerrymandered.

Assuming they're being honest about the change in margins since August, that's certainly what we want to see.

Not only is it more than enough, it's almost to the point where lots of those gerrymanders will start to fail or backfire.

For 2028, Dems have several potential states ready to gerrymander themselves.

Among election followers outside MSM, the Cook Political Report is usually considered a lagging indicator whose analyses don't include anything we aren't already aware of. I believe anyone is entitled to ask for money to read their content, but paying for Cook is like paying for ice in Antarctica.

We're getting our ballots mailed out this Tuesday in Utah, so I anticipate that within a week, I'll have filled mine out and put it in the drop box at the library up the street (NOT gonna send it in the mail, never do).
