Unpopular take here and I'm prepared for the incoming from angry Democrats.
But if people want to blame somebody for the Democrats not being able to force the Republicans to extend the ACA right now, PART of that blame falls on we the voters.
Because we didn't elect enough Democrats to do it.

I should really have fit into this post that this county voted for Trump.
NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.
So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

My post of Decision Desk's decision to call the Seattle mayor race for Harrell last week didn't hinge on who would ultimately win: The point was that a "call" isn't a race to get a prediction right.
But Wilson now being ahead should at least bring more attention to the importance of not rushing.

Calls are about certainty and not risking people's confidence in the final result. Speeding through for competition is not good and irresponsible.

To anyone who buys Trump’s line that the tariffs are going to be used to pay off the national debt:
The federal budget deficit is about $1.78 TRILLION a year. This is how much more we spend than we take in.
The tariffs are projected to bring in $220 BILLION a year. Which is 12% of the DEFICIT.

Let’s try something. Since congressional Republicans oppose extending the #ACA credits, let’s look at how costs are about to go up in the reddest congressional districts in America.
We’ll start with the reddest district in America, Alabama’s Fourth Congressional District (Robert Aderholt-R).
