Dem gains in this week's elections erased the inroads Trump made with non-white, young, and low-income voters in 2024. In fact, the R-to-D shift from 24 to 25 is double Trump's gains from 20-24. Claims of a GOP political realignment have been highly exaggerated www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-win...

"claims of a fundamental realignment of American politics have been highly exaggerated" this happens ***every single time*** someone proclaims a realignment

Trump at a -16 net approval rating among all adults now, per our average at @fiftyplusone.news, and flirting with dropping below 40% approval. fiftyplusone.news/polls/approv...

Spanberger now at 15 and change. please feel free to read too much into it.

I've spent my life advocating for a politics challenging oligarchy. It's been an unpleasant and difficult line of work, to say the least. So when I see the longtime opponents of this kind of politics suddenly appropriating it as their new "centrism," I'm happy. A short 🧵...

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

The question for the midterms is: where will Trump's approval rating be? He started the second term at +12, 8 points ahead of where he was in '17. now that gap has shrunk to about 2-3 points. where will the economy be? Trump had a *roaring* economy in 2018.

In this @JoDemocracy article, unfortunately, we were not wrong in identifying the path of autocratization the country was on. With the purge of the Judiciary, Mexico opens those gates and moves toward an authoritarian regime (competitive authoritarianism/electoral autocracy).

Compartimos nuevo artículo (c/Natasha Konzevik) en @rmop_fcpys.

Trump's gains were highest in areas with higher foreign-born population & in areas with more Irish, Italian, & Polish ancestry and fewer white college graduates www.economist.com/united-state...

Latino voters who said people around them were supporting Trump or that support for Trump was increasing around them were more likely to switch to supporting him in 2024. These kinds of social network cascades & context effects enable more dramatic shifts podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...
