🚨Some professional news: After four years as associate editor @njhotline, I'm stepping into a new role as managing editor for @nationaljournal.
I'm excited for this new opportunity and to work with both the Hotline team and the Daily team.
Any tips or ideas are welcome!

It was so unexpected they didn't know what to do with it.
State Dems could be in similar spot next year.
