U.S. 2024 elections

Forget the Border (non issue) forget student protest (non issue) this is the real nitty gritty:

Final from Pennsylvania. Dems have yet another special election overperformance. "Republican Jeff Olsommer has won the special election for the 139th District in The State House of Representatives."

Olsommer (R) 60.3%, Skibber (D) 39.7% — a 7.3pt Dem shift vs. 2020 presidential year results.

2022.. R 63. D 37

2020. R 68 D 32

This is true political wonk news: evidence that the Democrats and Biden are moving the electorate.
 
I'm a little surprised it took this long for him to drop out. Trump threw his support behind someone awhile back and I didn't think anyone else would stick around.

Addendum New York Special Election for the 26th Congressional. Democrat hold district +9 increase from 2020.

A poll saying that trump is winning by a point inside the margin of error amounts to zip. Real elections, in red or blue districts, show Democrats increasing voter share.
 
If the mics work as proposed, I fully expect:
