At some point, we have to talk about @CookPolitical and other “prognosticators” who had me and other southern candidates labeled as solid R for much of the campaign cycle. They made it much more difficult to fundraise and are part of the reason the South has been neglected for so long.
They’re only a reflection of the past and mysteriously avoid any accountability when they’re wrong. One of their “analysts” was extremely condescending to me (not Jessica) when I tried to make my pitch for why they were wrong about my rating like he knew something about MS politics when he’s never been to the Sip. This attitude hurt Jaime Davis & others so much.

Progressive lane this.
Moderate lane that.
The only lane I’m concerned with when it comes to 2028 presidential candidates is the SUPERMAJORITY lane.
Who can lead our party to a win so overwhelming that the GOP is relegated to regional political power at best?
.@NateSilver538: If there’s a repeat of Tuesday [in 2028], it’s crazy to say but a 60 seat Senate majority is on the table.

This is what is so shocking to me as a Southerner. There has been this assumption for many years that the only kind of democrat who would win these states is Joe Manchin. This assumption has been completely unproven now.

Mehdi Hasan: “You know what I think the Democrats should do? First, get rid of the filibuster in the Senate. Making Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico states and adding four Senators should be priorities. Fixing the Supreme Court that was totally rigged by Donald Trump. You’re up against a fascist authoritarian movement. You must use every lever of power available to you to fight back. What happened to holding the high ground is that a convicted felon who incited an insurrection was re-elected in 2024 and he came to office and unleashed a racist militia that killed American citizens on the street”

This has been one of the operating theories of my career: Millennials bring a fundamentally generational sense that better things are possible into everything they do.
AOC: A note for Gen Z. If you want to understand millennial cringe, what you all call millennial cringe, this earnestness, imagine all the seats we flipped last night. That feeling, plus, on top of it, electing the first Black president ever. And on top of that, you did it the first time you ever voted. That hits generationally. You’ve been chasing that feeling ever since.
And because you did it the first time you ever voted, you’re like, ‘Yeah, we can change the world. Why not? We did it the first time. Let’s just do it again.’

Ossoff summoned the spirits of Roosevelt, Kennedy and LBJ into that hall...

My goal as @DemGovs chair was to deliver a win for hardworking Americans who needed leaders who cared. Last night, we did that and more with a historic 30 Democratic governors elected — the most in office since 1992.
Today, we celebrate. Tomorrow, we start making life better for our people.

Imagine if Elon's $500 million had been spent on education or healthcare. Or the arts. Anything.

I’ve waited a long time to post this picture! Over 30yrs between these pictures of Texas Governors I have worked for! #TexasProud
