hello! While we're waiting for more presidential results, I thought I'd give you an update on the House. @DecisionDeskHQ projects that Republicans have won back 5 seats on net so far. Rs flipped 7 seats and Dems won back 2 thanks to redistricting in NC businessinsider.com/2020-house-ele…
Seats projected to flip D to R, per @DecisionDeskHQ
#IA01 ( Finkenauer)
#FL26 (Mucarsel-Powell)
#FL27 (Shalala)
#MN07 (Peterson)
#NM02 (Torres Small)
#OK05 ( Horn)
#SC01 (Cunningham)
Others to keep an eye on as more votes are counted: #CA21, #CA39, #NY11, #NY22, #UT04

Democrats have also fallen short on many of their offensive targets to flip R-held seats: their most promising pickup opportunity is #GA07, where @DecisionDesk HQ has not projected a winner and we should (hopefully!) get more clarity today as more votes are counted/reported
Voter #397 at Alexandria, VA city hall on first day of in-person early voting: Sen. Mark Warner (D). 
In line to vote, Warner tells me he saw the #VA05 @CookPolitical rating change this morning and thinks Webb will do well in places like Rappahannock Co.
Also says he believes Dems would take back Senate if it were decided today, but 45 days “is still a long way to go.”

BREAKING: Warner issues no comment on what kind of sandwich he will be having for lunch. #VASEN
🗳🇺🇸1. Tremendo que Virginia-05 vaya a estar en juego este noviembre (#VA05). Este es el distrito de aquel congresista republicano que tenía un fetiche random con Bigfoot. Es un distrito muy republicano y los demócratas lo tienen a tiro de piedra. #CongresoD3N
🗳🇺🇸2. Pensad que es un distrito rural y de valores tradicionales. Así se entiende mejor el anuncio del candidato demócrata, el doctor Cameron Webb:
Rating change: #VA05 race between Cameron Webb (D) and Bob Good (R) moves from Lean R to Toss Up at @CookPolitical as Republicans sound the alarm. cookpolitical.com/analysis/house…
If you guessed Charlottesville, VA, you win. A month ago I wouldn’t have guessed we would be moving #VA05 - a deeply polarized, Trump +11% seat - to Toss Up.
But could it be deja vu? In 2008, Tom Perriello pulled off the upset of the cycle in #VA05 against a "biblical" R who ran a stone age campaign.
In 2020, Cameron Webb - perhaps Dems' best House candidate anywhere in the country - is running against a "biblical" R & divided GOP.

One side effect of Denver Riggleman’s loss in #VA05: it brings an end to President Trump’s perfect record of GOP primary endorsements this cycle, which the Trump campaign and RNC had previously boasted about.
Trump endorsed Riggleman, who was defeated for renomination by former Liberty University athletics director Bob Good, in December. https://t.co/bLqryp55nh

🚨MY MASTER THREAD of #Midterm2018 results analysis, including an array of data dives. Will the country chose to repudiate president Trump? Health care instead of the wall? RT & strap in, folks, tonight could be a wild ride. We get the first batch of results at around 6 PM ET.
20 minutes
Why the slight shift? Let me try to explain what we've observed move post-Labor Day. There are basically 3 large buckets of House races we're watching...
Virginia is where the post-Trump bounceback began last year, and we’re determined to elect more progressive leaders this year—including an all-women slate of congressional candidates. #VApol (1/7)
#VA02: Elaine Luria will prioritize Virginians’ safety by working to protect access to affordable healthcare and working to combat climate change. NXTGN.US/fj6
#VA05: Leslie Cockburn believes in #MedicareForAll. She will fight for living wages and free community college—and against pipelines. NXTGN.US/fj7

I have found a copy of #VA05 Republican Congressional candidate @Denver4VA’s self-published book “Bigfoot Exterminators Inc: The Partially Cautionary, Mostly True Tale of Monster Hunt 2006”
Here are some of my favorite excerpts #BigfootErotica

Here are some of my favorite excerpts #BigfootErotica
The narrator first encounters #Bigfoot on page 3, thrusts his walking stick at “Bigfoot Balls,” and uses phrase “mythic private parts” when describing himself
Our first description of #VA05 Congressional Candidate Denver Riggleman, a “life-long hunter of deer, bear, and Commies” 🦌🐻⚒
Good morning! If you’re just tuning in to #VA05 because of @Denver4VA’s penchant for #Bigfoot erotica, there are some more things you should know:
1/
1/
.@Denver4VA has never condemned or distanced himself from his unrepentant racist running mate @CoreyStewartVA. Not only is Corey a carpetbagger neo-Confederate, his campaign office is a jobs program for white supremacists. 2/
Cville and Albemarle have the highest insurance premiums in the nation thanks to Trump’s healthcare sabotage. @Denver4VA has no plan to help #VA05 families and doesn’t seem to care. 3/
