Perino on Ken Martin: This guy was written off. Look what he pulled off. He won big time. Compare that to what you saw from the RNC, the polls are fake, we got this. That guy ran like he was behind from the beginning. And he won

Jermaine Johnson ran a great campaign for South Carolina governor. He showed the path forward: Taking no voter for granted and listening to their concerns. I’m proud to call him a friend and grateful for his tireless work this cycle.

Angie Nixon built a movement in Florida, one that puts working people first. Angie inspired voters who felt abandoned by politics to feel hope. I’m thankful for her leadership and can’t wait to stand next to her as she continues to fight for working families.

Americans made it clear: They want their elected leaders to lower costs and make life more affordable. That’s what Democrats ran on, and that’s how we won across the country. Even Fox News agrees.

The wave didn't "sweep" statehouses. It was pushed by smart strategy, persistent focus, and the leadership of @Heather4Dems & her amazing @DLCC team. Between Heather & @JessicaPost before her, these badass women have been tireless in pushing this critical ballot level

The impacts of @DLCC’s wins cannot be understated. They’ll help protect the policies that Americans care about most – from lowering costs to democracy & more – through the states. Our wins establish a critical check against the GOP’s dangerous agenda. nyti.ms/4A7dmyU
