There are two different ways of looking at how change happens in American politics. Some people put the emphasis on “top down,” while others think the better way to ponder long-term trends in government is “bottom up.” politico.com/news/2020/11/1…
One reason it will take a good long time to make sense of the 2020 election is that the results look very different — almost contradictory — when viewed from top-down versus bottom-up. politico.com/news/2020/11/1…
We assembled our reporters who cover politics from a bottom-up perspective — that is, with a special focus on the states — for an election postmortem. They give us a look at the people and the trends to watch in the next decade 👇 politico.com/news/2020/11/1…
Keep your eyes on Florida Rep. Anna Eskamani, says @Mdixon55. She’s expected to consider running for governor in 2022. “She’s become a force within the progressive side of the Florida Democratic Party.” politi.co/32z9Kbv
Gov. Abbott is the one to watch for in Texas politics, says @renurayasam. His popularity in the state could translate to national ambitions in 2024. politi.co/32z9Kbv
Marc Elias, a prominent Democratic lawyer, is a major player in helping the party with state legislative maps, says @allymutnick. “His knowledge of election law is profound and he’s dedicated to helping achieve what Democrats feel to be fair maps.” politi.co/32z9Kbv
How will money play a future role in state politics? @sabrod123 says “there’s a recognition that to make inroads you’ve got to look down, and you’ve got to look down the ballot.” politi.co/32z9Kbv

Some conservative Supreme Court justices signaled today that they’re unlikely to tear down Obamacare as oral arguments began in a Republican-backed lawsuit challenging the landmark health care law politico.com/news/2020/11/1…
This latest case, which is the third major challenge to the law heard by the court, centers around Congress’ decision in 2017 to eliminate the law’s penalty for not having health insurance — without removing the coverage requirement itself politico.com/news/2020/11/1…
A group of Republican states led by Texas and supported by the Trump administration argued that move made the so-called individual mandate unconstitutional, so the rest of the law should fall politico.com/news/2020/11/1…
