USA Election Watch 2026

65-30 in the House, +1 Democrats.

I’m surprised that Trump talking about Jon Husted’s ass over and over again didn’t turn the tide in his favor.

Jennifer Balcom (R) of North Carolina, running for US House on the platform of “my mother shot a guy” and “trans are icky” has lost badly to her Democratic opponent. (Around 40% to 60%.)

Congratulations!

He of the rolled-up sleeves.

Lance Bottoms (D) wins GA, flipping the governorship.

It was pointed out that her mother did not, in fact, shoot a guy according to records. Maybe that sank her campaign. This was a weird election year.

No khakis tonight.

“Hey everybody, we’re all gonna get laid!”

Now THAT is a flipping flippy flip!

Why do you say Angie Nixon get less support from the democratic party than others? She got a bunch of powerful endorsements. Does the DNC normally give money to Senate races?

Mostly down ballot races-

Talarico still leading by 20 points in TX with 40% in.

Maybe if trump had shot the guy on 5th Ave on her behalf…

This might be a Dem 1994…

Looks good, @ThelmaLou!


I’m really interested to hear what’s going on in Arizona.

When I said “support”, I meant financial support. The DSCC (Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee) gives money to Democratic Senate candidates, sometimes quite a lot of it. I’m not even criticizing their decision not to prioritize Florida, just pointing out that Nixon did really well even without help.

Byron Donalds (R) wins the governorship in FL.

In Johnson Co. in Kansas, Hamilton (D) is up 67.5% over Marshall(R) 31.1%
Yay hey better math, woo!

When was the last election year that wasn’t weird?

2012?
