Medicare for All Disappeared. Its Popularity Didn’t.
The demand for Medicare for All went from the center of the discourse to political exile in record time. But the policy's popularity never faded. A new poll finds strong majority support for the neglected idea among Americans across the political spectrum.

How did Georgia pull off their first statewide win in non-federal races in 19 years—and so convincingly?
Turnout, turnout, turnout.
The state's 10 largest blue counties made up more than 52% of the total electorate. That compares to 44.6% last year, and 45.3% in the 2022 Senate runoff.
