the guy who recruited Graham Platner compared him to Obama www.nytimes.com/2026/07/08/u...

feel like there's a non zero chance we get platner on tucker carlson railing against the hr ladies who brought him down by the end of the year

primaries dont translate to the general but seems to show that Bellows would be the strongest of the 3

11 minute video. announces he's dropping out at the 7 minute mark

unfortunately just like Lis Smith there will still be demand for his services in the future

this is fucking wrecker shit. are you fucking kidding me

Maryland plans August special session to set up 2028 redistricting

I think he will have the votes. but what does his fundraising have to do with if has votes for speakership?

while I would prefer troy jackson I think nirav shah is pretty clear the better candidate for a general election

imagine if she actually said this

Dempsey here is Patrick Dempsey from Grey's Anatomy, who owns a home in Harpswell, Maine

great call

im guessing her supporters break 60/40 to AES. she was running hard against schumer

It’s over: Mallory McMorrow to end her campaign www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...

Iowa Senate poll (Fox News) Josh Turek 50% Ashley Hinson 46%

bro

Democratic party net favorability July 2018: -15% July 2022: -19% July 2026: -29% civiqs.com/results/favo...

If incumbents want to sneer at primary voters, they'll probably keep losing. Serious "No, it's the children who are wrong" energy here. www.axios.com/2026/07/01/m...

the Platner number is truly terrible. he's gone from maybe a replacement level candidate to easily the worst of the cycle

I dont think this will be enough

US Senate Maine 2026 Susan Collins 50% Graham Platner 47% www.foxnews.com/politics/fox...

Rep. Tom Kean finally speaks after months away from Congress for a previously unexplained absence: "I was given the diagnosis of depression ... the doctors recommended I remain in the hospital to address my illness"

oh great

Platner up 2, Talarico tied, in states that Trump/Harris split by 21 points in 2024

obama was polling way higher than ossoff is right now. maybe that changes by the end of the year but ossoff numbers are not that high right now

I didnt realize Scott Wiener was 56

they're going with "we're losing because of ground game". which might be a factor but obviously not the main reason

Assuming Obama remains neutral, Zohran may end up holding the single most important endorsement in the 28 primary

DAC at 94% odds. She's a heavy favorite at this point

Chuck Park over 40%???

DAC leading EV is good sign for her but idk

stop the count???

Texas Senate poll (University of Texas/Texas Politics Project Poll) Ken Paxton 43% James Talarico 42% texaspolitics.utexas.edu/blog/june-po...

Jasmine Crockett is so unserious and selfish. She refuses to go to the TX-Dem convention because she’s still salty about her primary loss to Talarico

very interesting how certain people insisted that JLG was the candidate of white progressive transplants and yet the only ward McDuffie leads in is 3 (by and large very wealthy whites) I honestly figured McDuffie would win 7 or 8. That he didn’t is an indication of how much everyone hates Bowser

I think what you needed was not only Biden to say he wasn't running in January 2023 but also Harris and that was never happening

This is so great to see. Janeese Lewis George won East of the River! She's the first progressive candidate to do that in a while now. If you don't know DC geography, the farther west you go, the whiter and richer it gets.

With 1 day left until Election Day, a total of *59,482 ballots* have been cast (and received by the DCBOE), as of June 14! This means that 87.6% of DC’s 481,148 registered voters still haven’t voted yet (and ~61-66% of total likely DC voters still haven’t voted yet)!

You should see the local viewing party.

is team USA good?

a candidate explicitly running on sewer socialism in not only a major US city but its capital. what an era

and she's very likely to win

not sure why Platner decided his first ad was going to be on Epstein when there are more effective attacks on Susan Collins

I thought Bennet was a lock

if Platner gets <65% that would be concerning
