Interesting #SOTU dial group. Trump gained a few points on most issues (expected temp. bump) but he went up a lot for his "Great Healthcare Plan" to divert money from insurers to people. Of course, this won't happen, but Democrats should be alert to power of this rhetoric.
One of the biggest improvements participants noted in the pre- and post-speech measurements was Trump’s handling of health care (from 18% confident to 41% confident). This is, in part, due to Republican lawmakers’ poor standing on health care. In a national survey Navigator conducted earlier this month, Democrats in Congress hold a 16-point advantage over their Republican counterparts when asked who respondents trust more on health care.

The arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor underscores a striking contrast between the United Kingdom and the United States in the official response to the Epstein files. British authorities have moved aggressively to investigate the possibility of crimes emerging from the three million pages of correspondence with Mr. Epstein. In the U.S., some business executives have resigned, but police have not take action like they have in Britain.

These 7 Dem Senators remind me of Gen. Charles Lee at the Battle of Monmouth. They did not follow the battle plan and retreated when it got tough. Unfortunately, we lack a modern day Gen. Washington to sweep in, rally the troops and fix their screwup.

Opinion | Some say that Andrew Cuomo's defeat in the primary shows that the Democratic establishment has become weak. But I say that the fact that an unpopular disgraced sixty-seven year-old sex offender was able to win 37% of the vote shows that the Democratic establishment is still very strong.

For all those engaging in Liz Truss comparisons. Remember, she had to deal with a party leadership who ultimately were more afraid of the voters than they were of her. I see little evidence the same is true here.

At the Cory Booker town hall. There is a well-orchestrated effort to disrupt with pro-Palestinian protestors yelling one at at a time, after the previous one was escorted out. Crowd not happy. Probably would be more effective if they tried to get the microphone.

Update: With Blue state votes now nearly all tabulated, we have a better sense of the differential in Trump's gains and the Dem falloff from 2020. Nationally, Trump increased his raw vote by ~4%, while Harris lost ~8% off Biden's total. But there's a lot to drill down.
Chart showing Trump's vote gains from 2020 as +6.3% in battlegrounds, +3.5% in red states, and 1.5% in blue states. And also showing Harris's vote losses from Biden in 2020 as -0.3% in battlegrounds, -8.2% in red states, and -9.4% in blue states.

The final vote is still being tabulated, but it’s now clear the 2024 national popular vote is the 8th closest margin in the history of American Republic. (Closer than 2016 and 2020, which is, ahem, what the polls indicated it would be).
