“Trump got a lot of votes in 2024 and now Republican turnout tanked after two years of him governing” Wow thank you for making that observation
Replying to @hackettwva
Trump had 555k votes in 2024. You got lucky there was limited Republican turnout.

I found the member of congress Richard Ojeda needs to make cry
The absolute craziest win went largely unnoticed. Incoming Congressman in upstate NY Anthony Constantino. This man is literally insane, and used his victory speech to say Free Diddy. He is super rich as the ceo of sticker mule and has been living in mexico the past few years.

Zondria Lansdowne, the founder of a nonprofit store that provides free groceries and clothes for families, flipped a Berkeley County Commission seat. Berkeley County shifted 27 points, more than any other county in West Virginia. This is what the Democratic Party should be!

Rachel Fetty Anderson raised $35k compared to Shelley Moore Capito’s $8.75m Fetty Anderson had less funding support than many state house candidates around the country and was outraised by *250x* West Virginia still shifted 21 points towards Democrats and 3 counties flipped
For those who care about random fun facts about races Rachel Fetty Anderson actually did win some counties in West Virginia

West Virginia voters support the government expanding healthcare at similar rates as Colorado voters, a blue state that’s increasingly blue. Bigger role: 60% to 53% Smaller role: 23% to 24% Same role: 16% to 22%
Exit polls from West Virginia’s Senate race show 53% of West Virginia voters say government should play a bigger role in helping Americans get healthcare. cc: @TheDemocrats

1. Only stupid people believe in allowing politicians to have the power to choose their own districts. That’s like trusting a used car salesman to set a fair price. 2. Most people have mixed bags of views and don’t fit neatly into these bullshit ideological labels.

Why would we let establishment RINOs and Communist Democrats control a mythological independent redistricting commission? Only stupid people believe in "non-partisan" fairy tales.

Pass independent redistricting and then win 95% seats and come talk to me.
Replying to @NewsWire_US
This seems rather stupid. Will the legislature go from 95% republican to 85%? Woah. That's gamechanging.

West Virginia's early vote through Oct 30: ~131K ballots, in-person plus absentee. That's 99% of the 2022 early vote, and in-person voting alone has passed 2022. By party registration, it's R+2.5 so far. At the end of early voting it was R+10 in 2022 and R+19 in 2024. 🧵

We're now getting early voter data from the West Virginia SOS; here are some maps of early in-person voting by HD/SD. Compared with registered voters in WV, there's currently a 15-point statewide shift to DEMs. More data/comparisons to follow in this thread as we dissect.

World Series reaffirming my deeply held belief that sports played on fields should always be played outdoors (and on real grass)
This World Series is just the 3rd Fall Classic where every game is hosted in a venue with a roof + the 1st time in history every game will be played completely indoors. 2020: Globe Life Field 2023: Chase Field + Globe Life 2026: American Family Field & Tropicana Field Dome field advantage.
