State Senate seat if you were wondering, still good though
Id argue thst in some ways control of the state government is more important, and right now? Its infinitely more important since the states can activately fuck with the feds and bite back.

Youre a lot more optimistic than me, I was thinking forming state militias and fucking with federal authorities.

While that may be true, the way I see it ya never know how folks will react until you take an action. As for the Redhats, fuck em butcher them to the last if they try jackshit.
In a district that Trump carried +21%.
That’s a lot of buyers remorse, real quick.
The special election had 9304 votes, where the 2022 election had 23850. I couldn’t easily find the number cast for the general this year, but I’m guessing most of the win can be chalked up to Rs feeling like they didn’t need to vote and Ds desperately trying to find ways to change things. Just very low turnout rather than buyers remorse I would guess.
In any case that would bode well for the US house special elections in April + whenever the NY house seat special is called. Enough republicans have resigned to moved into the admin to give us a slim chance to flip the house before the midterms
A flip like this in Iowa puts odds of it flipping into a real possibility. Also worth noting that Dems in Minnesota had a 14% overperformance in a special on the same day
Thanks for keeping it positive. Really hope you’re right and this is just the start of a total reversal.
