"As a reminder the only rule that really matters to Trump is "Win that day's headlines."

"There are XX Republican Senate seats up for election in 2026 (including two special elections). There are only XX Democratic seats up for election. But most estimates suggest around the same number of D and GOP seats (or perhaps more Dem seats) are at risk. That's not because Democrats can't win in Texas or Florida or Iowa. It's because Dems can't win in those states if they run Senate candidates with the same political views as AOC or even Chris Murphy. If they want to win back the Senate - which they have to do if they want to make any meaningful change - they have to be willing to run Dem" @JamesSurowiecki on X 2025-07-28 01:50:37 UTC 125.5K followers, 133.8K engagements
