I know NYC was the headline election, but IMO Virginia was the more telling election yesterday. The Dem sweep of the Gov., Lt. Gov. And AG plus picking up at least 10 seats in the House of Delegates is more indicative of where the general electorate is at right now than the NYC mayorial race is.

This is the longest government shutdown in American history.
All because Republicans refuse to lower health care costs or fund food assistance.

Notice that MAGA’s reaction to last night’s brutal losses is NOT “hey let’s try to win the will of the voters with good policy.” It’s, let’s end the filibuster, let’s end mail-in voting, all ideas for winning without really CONVINCING anyone to vote for them

Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

This announcement stems from our 2023 legal victory.
