It'll be a while until we get voter file data on this election, but I think there's a chance this was the largest partisan turnout advantage in a high turnout election that Democrats have enjoyed as long as I've followed election data

More likely it’s just less good than our assumption earlier today. They are still favorites to take the house.
The Senate, however, has been looking better and looks even better tonight for Dems.

I’ve expected the Dems to hold the senate for the last week or two. And yes, I’m just looking for the House to be not a bloodbath.

Let’s now let one election draw a straight line to November. It’s a long time until then. Lots of hard work to GOTV still needed. TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED.

Don’t intend to. But it does go to show that Dobbs could have awoken Dems out of a slumber. If so, there’s reason to think it will do so elsewhere as well.

Maybe could throw Beto’s name in there as well. Though that’s a steeper hill to climb than any of those other people you mentioned.
