“Jefferson's hat An amazing storyline that's shocking. You're like, they did this in 1977. We should have made more progress. All right, this is the final question. And why does it fit the category?

“Diller Green situation is so interesting. Because she's saying things that we agree with, but we don't want to give her credit. And I think that that's pretty justified. Because when someone evolves dramatically, you would expect them to acknowledge it in some way and say, here's why and here's the reason I'm changing. But she just showed up different. And so... And so I don't know if we're living in a Dave situation That there was a woman who looked like Marjorie Taylor Green who had an employment operation and suddenly there's a knock on the door and she's needed for a daring escapade.

“Also, I'm gonna make it about the filibuster, which is ostensibly saying Democrats are lockstep and united and implacable force we cannot defeat. The only hope is I get the Republicans to bend and break on this issue, which they are reluctant to do because for the same reason they are annoyed by Trump putting all the pressure on them because the second the filibuster doesn't exist four of the least conservative Republicans in the Senate are the bulwark against the dumbest shit that the House Republicans can come up with on a Tuesday, which is what they're like, no thank you.

“themselves in some cases in opposition to the party brand. When it comes to winning the house, most congressional candidates, particularly challengers, are generic Democrats in the minds of voters.

“To run again, and it's a late conversation about our gerontocracy problem as a party, and we just can't do that this time around. 2025 can't prevent us from talking about concerns we all have with leaders in the Democratic Party. It can't prevent us from talking about the need for term limits on congressional committees, which I know you wrote about this week. In Message Box, so that young members of Congress can actually accrue power and advance. And we can't get too high on our own supply. We can get a little high. I think there's an important point here. Now I will return to my normal role as pessimist, which is even in Virginia and New Jersey, Republicans are more popular than Democrats. And so it's one way you could look at that is, well, I guess the party brand problem is not as big as we thought. That's a mistake because in New Jersey and Virginia, the candidates were statewide candidates who had millions of dollars to define them.”

“This is an only good vibes night, right? So we're all just bringing joy to the table. No one's wanting to bum anybody out. But I do think we should remember the 2022 midterms because I think we took some of the wrong lessons from them as a party. Remember, I think President Biden and the people around him saw the 2022 midterms as an endorsement of him and his presidency and his political agenda. In reality it was far more likely that voters in Georgia and Pennsylvania were like, what the fuck? Herschel Walker, you guys want us to vote for Herschel Walker? Dr. Oz? You want us to vote for Blake Masters in Arizona, like the single most unappealing human being was maybe ever run for office? And so I think what that did was it delayed a conversation about Joe Biden's age and his capacity.”

“Well, it's all that good. Once every six years, map is good. But we have to defend all those states we held on to in 2022, right? Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania. And there's very few pickup opportunities. Maybe just North Carolina is probably the most likely one. And so if we want to have any chance of a governing trifecta for a Democratic president in 2029, we got to make up a lot of ground in the Senate this cycle, even if we don't take the majority.”

“And so that is all doable, right? Not in the fact that Democrats just had their first non-federal statewide victories in Georgia in 30 years is, I think, a positive sign for John Osov. And we have Very good candidate in North Carolina, and Roy Cooper. We have a very good candidate in Ohio and Sherrod Brown. We have an array of interesting candidates in Iowa, right? And then in Texas, we have several good candidates from James Talerico to Colin Red. And maybe our next guest, Jasmine Crockett. There we go. But here's the thing. Here's the argument for, I think Democrats, to the extent we can do it have to push all of our chips into the table on the Senate. Because the 2028 Senate map is very bad.

Because if Spamberger and Cheryl had just won by the same margins at Kamala Harris won Virginia Jersey by, I wouldn't feel, I would think that path was closed off to us. And so as you pointed out, and it's not just those seats we have to win. We also have to defend Open Seats in Michigan, New Hampshire, Minnesota. Defend Jan Asoff.”

“Which is why I think you see Mike Johnson out there today saying it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, right? Because a lot of what their plan is to do all of these gerrymanders is to reassure Republicans that they're not going to lose because they got a little too greedy. And I think that's why you see some of these plans going away. So that to me is what I take away from this so far. It has sent a nervous signal that they're in trouble, which maybe will protect us from how much gerrymandering they were planning to do and puts us in a position to win big if we do everything right and that's not a guarantee to make it much harder for them to do the kind of shenanigans that Trump is clearly interesting in trying to drum up over the next year with intimidation, with threats of fraud, with schemes to grab voter machines and all the rest. Nothing is written, but I feel like we all woke up rightly more hopeful today than we did a week ago.”

“So, one thing that's been kind of bubbling up and has been a natural break against how far Republicans can go in gerrymandering is that in order to make a blue seat red, you have to find those red votes somewhere. Where do you find them? Deeper red seats. And so it's all a negotiation, and they do it behind the scenes. Be lobbyists in the majority. They would. They want their jobs, they care about their jobs more they do, but then they do about a lot of stuff. And all of a sudden, wait a second, these numbers are not just bad. They're very bad. And maybe we've drawn some maps in Texas where it's possible that we've accidentally shaved off just a few too many Republicans in a district here and a district there.”

“Also psychologically incapable of doing it because to truly have an affordability message where you feel people's pain, you have to admit you have not succeeded on the thing you said you would do. And Donald Trump's 79 years old that no point in those 79 years has he ever admitted fault on anything. So I don't think that's going to change now, right? On the same day he said we're focusing on affordability, he basically called Nancy Pelosi the C word. Like I don't think he's going to be disciplined.”

“Exit polls are directionally correct, but imprecise measures of elections. But normally we have to wait a long time for voter data. But in New Jersey, we actually have specific voter data from half of New Jersey. And what it found is that Cheryl had about a 2.5 point turnout advantage over Kamala Harris in the half that we have it for. But in those counties, Cheryl Apple formed Kamala Harris by nine points. And the only way to explain that is a pretty significant number of Trump voters flipping. And what's even more important and notable there is of the counties that we have data includes the counties like Bergen, Passaic, and Hudson, which have large pockets of Latino voters.

“And so Democrats had high turnout. That was good. But what's more important is that, as Alex pointed out, there was real persuasion. You need motivation and persuasion, but mathematically persuasion matters more because you don't only just gain one voter, you take one from the other side. So that's a net gain of two votes. And there was very real persuasion here, right? Back in when Democrats were winning special elections in 23 and 24, you would hear people saying, ignore the polls, we win these special elections, elections are what matter. We would point out that winning special elections is good, but we were winning these special elections purely from turnout. That's not what happened on Tuesday at all. So in the exit polls, right, you have in Virginia, New Jersey, 7% of people who pull the letter for Trump one year ago voted for Spanberger and Cheryl.”

“And that's not to say there aren't hard politics for him and some genuine concerns that a lot of people have. Fine. But it seems to me that there are some Democrats more worried about people thinking Zoron is on their side than worried about how to prove to all of those enthusiastic people that they're on the side of those volunteers and supporters. And it seems our job is to make the point that President Obama just made, which is we are part of one big team that represents a lot of different points of view and that we are a coalition and we're proudly part of a coalition. We're not afraid of it.”
