And down in Georgia, even though the Republican candidate did win the special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene, Democrat Sean Harris beat Kamala Harris's performance in that district.
by 25 points, the largest overperformance in any special election by a Democrat since Doug Jones won the Alabama Senate seat way back a thousand years ago in 2017.
What was your reaction to the elections this week?
Yeah, now we're getting into the 20s.
You and I talked about this a couple episodes ago, and it was like teens, high teens to low 20s.
Now we're in 20s to mid 20s.
I'm trying not to get too high on our own supply here, but some of these results are just... It's the perfect storm of all the things that could go wrong for Republicans with voters, which is that they, in higher turnout elections...
They are losing because voters are switching.
People who voted Republican are voting Democrat.
And and then in other elections, the GOP turnout is collapsing.
So you have Republican voters either not showing up.
They're both not showing up and switching their vote in and in like deep red places, blue, blue places all over the place, different all different types of districts.
And again, and this matters a lot for the House, which we were talking about, but it starts to get me thinking about the Senate even more.
Not to get ahead of ourselves, but it does seem like the 2028 Democratic primary has already begun.
