First 2024 Presidential Election Outlook, by me. Lots of personal thoughts here, tried to be as data-orientated as possible and less pundit-orientated.
This is a disaster for the Republican party. These results in NY-19 are not representative of a red wave year. At this point, we have to be seriously contending with the fact that this will be a neutral or even blue-leaning midterm, and the House is a Tossup.
🚨 RATINGS CHANGE 🚨
If Roe v Wade ends up overturned we have the following ratings changes for the 2022 Elections:
Senate Control: Leans R --> Leans R
House Control: Likely R --> Likely R
Democrats in 2016: "Look at the polling"
Democrats in 2018: "Look at the polling"
Democrats in 2020: "Look at the polling"
Democrats in 2022: "Look at the polling"
Democrats in 2024: "Polling is so broken"
Republicans will (probably) win the House but Kevin McCarthy better be preparing a huge gift basket for Lee Zeldin's tremendous performance which is evidently dragging a ton of Rs over the finish line
To see Tom Kean Jr. and Jen Kiggans walk to victory while the likes of Lauren Boebert, Ryan Zinke, and Joe Kent struggling to win solidly Trump seats is just a periodic reminder that perhaps running good candidates is a better strategy than running bad candidates
Instead of campaigning like hell in his reelection bid, Gavin Newsom was running ads in Florida trying to own Ron DeSantis or something and it might have cost Democrats a good 2-4 seats in the House
Adam Laxalt will win Nevada and Georgia will be the Senate decider while Rs eeke out a 218R majority in the house because frankly that's the timeline we deserve at this point
BREAKING: As caucus sites close, Pete Buttigieg declares victory in the 2024 Iowa Caucuses with none of the votes having been reported
"Iowa, you have shocked the nation!"
It is increasingly clear that Extreme MAGA Republicans secured a House majority based on unlawfully gerrymandered congressional maps.
We will make sure the American people decide who represents them in Congress.

CONFIRMED: Katie Hobbs' office emailed Mohave County supervisors threatening them with up to two years in prison if they didn't certify their election results.
Some rough (especially in the very small towns) Haley benchmarks tonight; if she's anywhere near numbers like these, it would signal a genuinely close race. The more she falls short, the more the result will resemble the polling we've been seeing.
The Democrats are putting up an impressive showing in VA-4, the first special congressional election of the cycle.
By our estimates, the Democrat is on track to win by 45 points, compared to 30 points in '22 and 36 points in '20
Despite Reagan's landslide victory, Republicans only gained 1 Senate seat in the 1984 election and lost 3, a net loss of 2 Senate seats as a result.
But oh boy that one seat they gained......
