Feinstein's death means, for the second cycle in a row, Californians will vote 4 times next year for the same Senate seat: in the special election primary, the general election primary, the special general election and the general election for a full term.

It’s hard to imagine a sentence that’s more “New York talk” than, “Let’s see if he moves on Rosenstein.”

This is a novel argument: that the early-nominating states (Iowa, N.H., Nev., S.C.) *don't have enough power* because of the DNC's debate rules.

If you took the time between the scheduling of this press call and its cancellation (27 minutes) and multiplied it by 5,000, it would still not equal the current 146,000-vote difference in Michigan between Trump and Joe Biden.

Important subtext here: While there will be a lectern for Gabbard at next week's debate, she is struggling to meet the DNC's slightly higher threshold for the 5th debate on 11/20. She's 0-for-12 on polls so far, though she has a month-plus left to make it.

Nehls' district went from Trump +1 to Trump +16 in redistricting, as Republicans gerrymandered Texas' map to shore up all the suburban seats that had gotten competitive as voters realigned and the state inched bluer

It's pretty clear that we've arrived at the scenario a lot of folks feared: A very close Electoral College race has come down to a number of states where the count is proceeding in a way that overstates the president's vote share compared to a complete tally, which he could lose.
