At one point Kornacki showed a Tarrant Co. lead by 90%, which he and others shook their heads at, with a corrected total soon following - wouldn’t be surprised if I (stupidly) transcribed their (botched again) numbers. ---

> [@Wesley\_Clark](#): > > In 2022 (the last FL midterm senate race) the GOP got about 4.5 million votes to 3.2 million votes D. > > So even though democrats lost, the gap went from 1.3 million votes in 2022; to 200k votes in 2026. Which is a huge positive bellwether for the nation. There are more than a million more registered Republicans than Democrats in Florida. So even though republicans won all of Florida’s statewide races, the close margins definitely reflect the blue wave sweeping the country. ---

Currently in Ohio, Acton (D) is leading Ramaswamy (R) by 15 points for governor, and Brown (D) is 11 points ahead of Husted (R) for senator. I think Ramaswamy’s child-rapist ad just might have coattailed Brown into the Senate. ---
