Our podium sign game was unmatched all the way to the end, thanks to @ryanbarto & @RCDiMezzo
I shared our strategy here with @Timodc back in mid-October when @BulwarkOnline was in Columbia for a live show, featuring @AnnieAndrewsMD.
I'm pretty sure he thought I was full of shit.
This has been the most rewarding campaign I've managed — let me tell you, @AnnieAndrewsMD is the real deal.
She's strategic, trusts her team, & works incredibly hard. At the core, Annie won because voters got to know her as a deeply genuine person who'll be an excellent Senator.
BACKSTORY - How Annie Andrews shocked the world in SC
- After Graham won primary, Andrews spent $5M+ on ads when she basically had airwaves to herself. By October her campaign had a 3-point lead and never trailed but didn't release the poll
- Trump's Graham endorsement backfired. Mark Sanford: “A Waterloo moment for Trump ... this is a person who said: ‘Close your eyes and pretend you’re voting for me.’ OK, they did ... They just didn’t like Darline as a candidate and felt it had been forced down their throats by Trump"
- Andrews made big inroads with Rs by courting supporters of Ralph Norman, getting Beasley endorsement. She worked closely with Clyburn to help juice turnout and other than Warnock kept the campaign local
- This all led to a convincing win and ... coat tails. Dems picked up the Lowcountry House seat. Andrews ran ahead of Dem guv candidate; and Graham ran way behind

Grateful that Willa McKee was a centerpiece of @GovDanMcKee's campaign — she lit up TVs with her wit and charm and brought a collective smile to the faces of Rhode Islanders.
Helen Willa McKee, the mother of Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee, who became a household name for her witty comments in her son’s campaign ads last year, has died, the Governor's office confirmed on Friday. She was 96. bostonglobe.com/2024/06/28/m…

Imagine walking around New Hampshire with Peet's Coffee. How embarrassing!
Where did he even find that? #NHPolitics
Funny moment, the @JoeBiden write-in supporters just happened to be across the street from @deanbphillips campaign HQ. He came out carrying coffee. @IssueNBCBoston @NBC10Boston

A truly garbage person.
New #VASen: Hung Cao, a former congressional candidate now running for Senate, accused Rep. Jennifer Wexton — retiring due to Progressive Supre-nuclear palsy — is sticking around congress to cash in on a pension she isn't even eligible for.

Thrilled for my friend @SenCavanaugh and his big win tonight in the first round of the #MHT mayoral race!
Kevin is one of the most genuinely good people I know and he'll make an excellent Mayor for Manchester.
Onward to victory in November! #NHpolitics

Our freedoms are under attack. My daughter could have fewer rights than I did. I won’t allow it.
I’m honored to have earned the trust of pro-choice groups like @EMILYsList who know that I’m the strongest candidate to continue the fight for abortion rights in Congress. #RI01

When I immigrated to America, I didn't speak English. But I worked hard in a factory, went to college, & stepped up to serve.
The American Dream is real. But we have to work hard to protect it.
I’m running for Congress to fight for our rights, our freedom, our democracy. #RI01

@Sabina_Matos fought back against Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump's anti-immigration policies — and highlighted how Rhode Island has welcomed immigrants, like herself, with open arms. #RI01
"@Sabina_Matos was believed to be in a strong position to win the primary. Matos reinforced that perception this week with back-to-back endorsements from Elect Democratic Women and @EMILYsList" #RI01
