In the course of this, Chait cites a piece I wrote with 7 candidates, 6 of whom won, & focuses exclusively on the one who lost and never mentions the main subject of the profile, Randy Villegas, who is going to win a Trump seat that moderates historically lost by around 40 points
Democrats could have more productive discussions about electability if leftists admitted their message is a small (often surmountable) penalty, not a huge bonus theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1…

As an immediate first step to Medicare for All, the new Democratic Congress must lower the Medicare eligibility age to 55, cover all kids & expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing.
All of this can be passed with 51 votes in the Senate through reconciliation. Let’s do it.

Yup. And a lot of people on here were saying @ZohranKMamdan’s win number wasn’t big enough or some nonsense.
The man gave Dems the two most effective messages for the midterms - affordability +city not for sale!
@ZohranKMamdani also pioneered a new way to govern by going directly to the people and telling them regularly what he was up to. And he did it all with a smile.
Hard to make him a scary caricature when millions of Americans are waking up to him every day on their feeds!
And then they realized they *could* have nice things! And they elected younger and more dynamic leaders who were also digital natives.
Mamdani getting elected and spending a year on extremely popular projects helped Dems everywhere imo.
He was supposed to be on the new Mount Rushmore of scary liberals. Saw him on lots of attack mailers. Didn't scare people at all.
When I sat down w Mamdani during the 2025 primary he said his model was Bernie in Burlington - the "ooh, scary socialist" mayor who capitalizes on all the attention he gets and makes civic improvements so it stops being scary. And so far that's clearly worked. semafor.com/article/06/12/20…

Re @ChuckSchumer, I think there is some sentiment in the Senate of "let him enjoy this win and go out on top."
Meaning that he is likely to retire in 2028 (he soon turns 76), rather than go to war for his seat against a young, popular, formidable challenger like AOC. 1/

NEW: Economic populism helped deliver impressive victories for Democrats across the nation. But those gains could be fickle and short-lived or long-lasting and durable.
To keep and maintain working class majorities, here’s 5 specific ideas for what they need to do next.

NEW: Chuck Schumer is preparing to lead the Senate with a network of former aides lobbying for private equity—including two former policy chiefs and his top health adviser. Their clients include Blackstone, Apollo, and the industry’s top trade group. readsludge.com/2026/11/06/th…

KEEP CALLING!
NEW: House Dems "inundated" w/ calls & emails urging them not to elect Jeffries speaker
One member told @axios they got "300-400" calls in 2 days
Another said "over 500"
A third said "higher" than 500: "It's our No. 1 issue, and it's not close." axios.com/2026/11/06/jeffrie…

NEW poll: A supermajority of Jewish Americans believe Israeli & AIPAC actions increase antisemitism.
80% say Israel’s actions in Gaza & the West Bank increase antisemitism in the US.
66% say AIPAC’s campaign spending against candidates critical of Israel increases antisemitism.
🤔
NEW
The Wall Street Journal reports that Republicans had planned on making New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani the face of the Democratic Party in an effort to paint Democrats as out of touch.
That plan was upended when Trump accepted Mamdani’s invitation to meet at Gracie Mansion.
House Republicans were “apoplectic,” and Speaker Mike Johnson later called the meeting an unforced error.

Abdul El-Sayed 60%
Mike Rogers 36%
Blank 5%

when aoc announced her travel to michigan’s upper peninsula, there was private grumbling that it was a strategic mistake. two of the counties she visited with adbul, dickinson and marquette, are in the top-5 biggest swings from last night.

Or you can look at this way — Abdul’s vote share was only 2 points lower than Jocelyn Benson — a popular statewide elected official who faced an opponent that was abandoned by Republican outside groups weeks ago — after:
— Enduring the most disgusting onslaught of racist and Islamophobic attacks in modern political history
— An unprecedented onslaught of negative ads from outside groups dating back to the primary
— His primary opponent (who nearly defeated him) endorsing his general election opponent days before the primary

NEWS: Nicole Locklin tells me she has been unable to get ahold of the DCCC or DNC as her very narrow race remains uncalled, after 3,000 of her votes were stripped away from her total.
If 4,200 votes in Broward remain, she is still within striking distance of winning given her margins there.

One of the most insane results I've ever seen. The GOP had the majority going in.

El-Sayed Performed About the Same As Other Michigan Democrats mattbruenig.com/2026/11/04/e…
Sam Seder retweeted
The argument that there was too much attention given to Michigan race is rich coming from Neera Tanden, who incessantly posted about it far more than almost anyone. She did this with the goal of sabotaging El-Sayed's campaigning by elevating Hasan Piker as a election issue and by repeatedly calling for greater efforts to assuage the wounded pride of Haley Stevens (a flake who ended up endorsing Mike Rogers).
