Too many Democrats are fighting each other over campaign tactics, because it is easier than accepting that Trump was underestimated as a candidate. He was a “super candidate” with increasing appeal to a broader electorate-likely beyond the reach of both Democrats and Republicans.
The president-elect outperformed Republicans across the country this year. “Donald Trump is a super candidate and is finally maybe getting recognition for that,” one GOP strategist said. notus.org/republicans/ca…

"The fight against the west has created too many beneficiaries to be abandoned any time soon. Trump or no Trump, Russia’s foreign policy will be guided by anti-Americanism for at least as long as Putin is in the Kremlin." Some thoughts in the @FT ft.com/content/dbbdb4…
Great to see President @EmmanuelMacron in Paris this week at the @ParisPeaceForum and discuss the forum’s future as we seek to find innovative ways to work together in an increasingly fragmented world at the Élysée.
To all veterans, thank you for your service to the United States of America and to all Americans. 🇺🇸
Agonised post-mortems about where the Dems went wrong are inevitable. But can be overdone. Trump only got 50.4% of vote and Harris 47.9 - in a year when incumbents are getting smashed across the west. This was not a massive endorsement of Trump or a massive repudiation of the…
Need proof Trump's appeal isn't easily transferrable to other Republicans? Sen. Jacky Rosen (D) is on track to receive fewer votes in Nevada than Harris, but still won #NVSEN b/c at least 70k Trump voters didn't bother voting for Sam Brown (R).
Here’s what happened in Wisconsin. And a note of gratitude. 🧵
Latest numbers: across the seven battleground states, the '20-'24 swing towards Trump was ~3.1 pts. Across the other 43 states (+DC), it was ~6.7 pts. Bottom line: the Harris campaign swam impressively against some very strong underlying currents.
The most unseemly thing about elections you lose is that everyone has theories about what you could/should have done. The Harris campaign wasn't perfect but it, and she, did a lot of things well--debate; convention and more. Reality is, they were facing tremendous headwinds--28%…
Yes, evidence shows inflation is the number 1 cause for voters’ dissatisfaction No, this doesn’t mean progressive politics are to blame: without the American Rescue Package, working class voters would be facing high inflation AND high unemployment
Just to clarify: this isn’t just the first time since WW2 that all incumbent parties in developed countries lost vote share. It’s the first time since this data was first recorded in 1905. Essentially the first time in the history of democracy (universal suffrage began in 1894).
For the first time since WWII, every governing party facing election in a developed country this year lost vote share, via @jburnmurdoch 2024 Democrats are the red dot. Absolutely critical context to any postmortem.
People *really* hate inflation! Though it’s also notable that most countries seeing political reversals this year have also had record high immigration, and parties on the right have made big gains. Economic upheaval + social upheaval = 2024 election results.
Before you beat yourself up about the elections pls read this: The incumbents in every single one of the 10 major countries that have been tracked by the ParlGov global research project and held national elections in 2024 were given a kicking by voters. This is the first time…
Harris lost votes, Sunak lost votes, Macron lost votes, Modi (!) lost votes, as did the Japanese, Belgian, Croatian, Bulgarian and Lithuanian governments in elections this year. Any explanation that fails to take account for this is incomplete. More here ft.com/content/e8ac09…
Despite all the chatter, Trump didn't really gain with black voters nationwide: 86% Harris, 12% Trump. Unchanged from 2020 when 87% of black voters went for Biden, 12% went for Trump. Black men? Static. 78-20% in 2024, 79-19% in 2020.
Y’all ain’t gonna stop us with the bullshit. Stay in line. Vote.
Source in Georgia says yet more bomb threats coming into heavily black polling stations there.
huge problem for the GOP turnout plan: none of the men are willing to ask for directions
