New at Tusk: It’s not just vibes. Independents are actually voting based on economic performance, and more so than in the past.

New at Tusk: It would be easy to over-interpret the results of yesterday's elections. So let's get started.

@smotus.bsky.social: "What would a left-populist takeover of the Democratic Party look like? It would have notable differences from the MAGA movement. It would be far more eager to push for stronger econ regulations, far less interested in courting the favor of wealthy leaders in Silicon Valley..."

I have a piece up today in @democracyproject.bsky.social's "100 Ideas" series about populism on the right and left, and it seems particularly relevant now. I hope you'll check it out. democracyproject.org/posts/the-ri...

Don't sleep on the Centennial State

Election Night bombshell. Literally no one saw this coming

Zohran referred to New Yorkers opening their newspapers, a nice shout to the olds

"No longer will we have to open a history book for proof that Democrats can be great."

Mamdani: "We have toppled a political dynasty." "Let tonight be the final time I utter [Cuomo's] name."

The CA Prop 50 victory is no small thing. A lot of CA Dems were very into the nonpartisan redistricting system, and this initiative was not looking that popular a few months ago. This was a big lift.

NBC cuts away from very non-conciliatory Cuomo concession speech

Hot take: A party shouldn't be dependent on one person for its victories

Polling seems to be having a pretty good night except in NJ, wtf

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

THEY'RE PLAYING NOT LIKE US AT THE MAMDANI CAMPAIGN RALLY

In some ways, the lesson of the night isn't that Mamdani is the face of the Democratic Party, it's that Cuomo is *not*

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

"In order to win, Democrats should nominate candidates who better match their districts" [Dems nominate a young Dem socialist in NYC and a moderate in VA] "No not like that"

“Too young” Madani is the same age Dick Cheney was when he became White House Chief of Staff

Non-snarky question: Is it common for national political figures to endorse in the NYC mayoral race? Did Obama back DeBlasio or Adams? Did Schumer? Pelosi? Biden?

I've seen enough

RIP to an APSR author and one of Gerald Ford's better chiefs of staff

In one of my first articles for my college newspaper, I interviewed someone and then read the article to them over the phone to make sure they approved. My editor called me out after that and told me we don't ask permission to do our jobs. She was right. Anyway then I was put in charge of CBS.

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

Weirdly Mamdani is not spending the final days of the campaign inveighing against the dual loyalties of Italian Americans and Roman Catholics
