I smell another flip! Fun fact: Democrats haven't been held the majority in North Carolina's congressional delegation since 2012. And they will certainly beat their high-water mark of eight seats that they achieved after the 1992 cycle. #NC03

New York Republicans’ awful, no good, disastrous 2026 election cycle keeps getting worse. What 2022 was for Democrats, 2026 is for Republicans on steroids.

Democrat Devin R. Lander has pulled ahead of state Sen. Jake Ashby, erasing the Republican incumbent’s election-night lead as officials continue to process hundreds of outstanding ballots.

And Democrats should keep talking about this historic accomplishment in every interview for the next few months because it will needle and demoralize Republicans. Democrats have a mandate. Use it wisely!

Democrats are currently at 55.8% of the House popular vote, per @CookPolitical.

That's the highest for any party since 1974.

Republicans haven't gotten that much of the House popular vote since at least World War II.

Sharice Davids would be an outstanding statewide candidate. But wow. Two Democratic senators from Kansas is more than we could hope for! She’d be the Mary Peltola of Adam Hamiltons. #KSSEN

Both #AKGOV and #AKSEN will almost certainly be called for Democrats by the end of the week. And ranked choice voting may not even be necessary for either Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins or Mary Peltola. The 50 percent threshold in the first round is very close for both candidates.
