North Carolina Republicans will have officially dummymandered themselves in to an 11D-3R map. Had they not fiddled with the map this year to target Don Davis, Murphy would have won. Had they taken a different tack after 2022 they could have held even more seats.

Now Democrats are leading in both NC-03 and NC-05, by 255 votes and 196 votes, respectively. If the result holds, Democrats will hold an 11-3 advantage on North Carolina's map, a seven-seat upgrade from the current 10R-4D balance.

NEWS: 2028 is already playing out in the phone logs of a new group of Dem power brokers who won last week. Buttigieg, Pritzker, Moore, Emanuel, Kelly, Booker are among those who’ve reached out to winners in early primary states. Andrews, El-Sayed, Pappas, Haaland etc have gotten calls. Some of these newcomers have priorities they want to see shape the primary, from Medicare for All to Israel to data centers to Indian tribes. w/ @AlecAHernandez @erinpdoherty + @politico team politico.com/news/2026/11/10…

First in @politico: A new-right group launches today to build a bench of young, hardline Republicans. They think doubling down on, not shying away from, hardline positions like mass deportations is a long-term winner: “We watched a complete rebuke of the type of Republicans that were in Congress. Old ideas are for old people." politico.com/news/2026/11/09…

NEW piece that I'm PROUD OF: I took a deep dive into what happened with AI and the midterms. Not only about this week, it traces the last 18 months of AI politics — and how an odd coalition found its way together to push Dems towards safety/regulation. W/the homie @AlecAHernandez : politico.com/news/magazine/2…

NEW: Abdul El-Sayed told me “I’m not going to change my position” on Israel but “I intend to lead on all the issues that we agree on — whether it’s the right to a union or the right to health care” etc. Also says “I hope” the next Dem presidential nominee shares his views on Israel. “If you want to be where the voters are, if you want to be on the side of peace and on the side of justice and transparency, I believe that that is around holding Israel accountable to its war crimes and on making sure our tax dollars get used to do good things here rather than bad things somewhere else”
