Donald Trump has won the majority of white women voters for the third straight time. trib.al/1vC20jE

Yup. Probably time for some of y'all to find out what we are in for. Congratulations, you played yourself.

I get the urge to be angry, but it's probably worth noting that Biden literally walked a picket line and bent over backwards to rescue pensions for unions like Teamsters. It did not help their electoral fortunes at all. The party is likely to move *right* after this, not left

This is ridiculous. Biden was the most pro-labor president in 60 yrs. His stimulus plan was targeted to get people back to work. Working-class people saw their real wages grow faster than any other group. Dems did not abandon the working class. The working class abandoned them.

Fact-check: There are not 18 milion missing votes in 2024 (compared to 2020). In fact, we are on track for there being more votes in 2024 than there were in 2020. It takes weeks until we know the final, official tally of votes. As of now 2 days after the 2024 election,

Just to clarify: this isn’t just the first time since WW2 that all incumbent parties in developed countries lost vote share. It’s the first time since this data was first recorded in 1905. Essentially the first time in the history of democracy (universal suffrage began in 1894).

Just crunched some numbers. Turnout generally dropped nationwide. But battleground states had slightly *higher* turnout among eligible voters than 2020—and a smaller-than-avg swing towards Trump. Wisconsin had the highest turnout rise in the nation: +1.3% of eligible voters.🧵

Michael McDonald Overall, this was a very, very high-turnout election. 62.3% of eligible voters turning out means higher turnout than any election in the last half century—other than 2020, the record holder. election.lab.ufl.edu/voter-turnout/ x.com/ElectProject/s…

the hysteria over the amsterdam shit is explicitly a distraction from this

This would be, must watch TV.

"These studies reveal an interesting fault line. While most women get their news from TikTok, most young men get their news from YouTube, X, and Reddit." Also, if you read a newspaper, odds are 3-to-1 you voted Harris. If you don't consume news, odds are 2-to-1 you voted Trump.

Greens costing the Dems this race is particularly tragic because Engel is an environmental attorney who specifically ran on climate She would have been one of the strongest swing seat voices on it :(

GOLD MEDAL GAME WINNER 🎬🥇😂

So Democrats should end up with 47 Senate seats. There certainly is a path toward a majority by 2028: they need to win 3 of the following 4 races: ME 2026, NC 2026, WI 2028, NC 2028

50% of the Black women *ever* elected to the U.S. Senate are in this photo

Jeff Weaver opposing Ben Wikler for DNC chair makes me think that Ben Wikler would be a phenomenal DNC chair.

A quick reminder: 1/ As a share of nonfarm employment, the federal government is currently 1.9%, near its smallest size since at least 1939. 2/ Total government (including state & local) is 14.8%, near its smallest post-1957 size.

This is the earth shattering news of the day even if most people won't notice it. It's the difference between Senate Democrats confirming 30-40 more judges vs single digits more
