Slight improvement for Rs as early vote goes on; breakdown of turnout among registered voters is now 59% D, 29% R, 12% other.

So far, ABQ Dems not complying with the "de-mobilize when your party holds the White House" tradition.
This also emphasizes just how paltry turnout was in that Texas race. There are four days of early voting left (inc. today) and #NM01 is at 84% of the *total* turnout in this month's #TX06 all-party primary.
I've been covering the race closely (folks, subscribe to the newsletter) and one theme is that Stansbury, hit with "defund the police" attacks, did what the DCCC says more Dems should have done last year: Line up law enforcement endorsers and say how she supports them.

Trump went out of his way *not* to be bipartisan and it just wasn't seen as a risk.

For example: Trump's two big bipartisan bills were First Step and CARES. Both needed Dem votes to pass. Now, look for the Dems at the signing ceremonies.

The governor of Kentucky at the time is there but not the Democrats who got the bill passed!

Contrast this with Biden signing an Alaska tourism bill and bringing the entire AK delegation (all GOP) to oval for a pic.
Trump lost re-election, so it wasn't a great strategy for him, but you didn't see much media commentary tut-tutting him for not trying to get Dems on a bill or shunning them if they did vote for it. It was just "wow, what will he do next?"

Been coming to NY for work for years and there’s definitely a level of crazy that wasn’t even here when I covered 2020 primaries. Like I’ve been to Chelsea plenty but this was the first trip there where a mentally disturbed guy called me a “bitch-ass” and chucked a rock at me.
It was basically Twitter but with a rock instead of a reply pointing out a typo.
He was gone in am but left an emoji-perfect dump on the street.

Nearly 2/3 of precincts in and Larry Krasner is up 64-36 over Carlos Vega. Absolutely bodying Vega in Black precincts. results.philadelphiavotes.com/ResultsSW.aspx…
(deleted a previous version of that tweet bc I made a different analogy that was uhhh not good!)
Krasner declaring victory now. "We in this movement for criminal justice reform just won a big one."

Dem barely leading in PA's 22nd Senate district, a Biden seat where Biden endorsed him. Dem Marty Flynn at 46.5%, Republican Chris Chermak at 42.9%. Dems' main problem: Green Party at 9.5%. decisiondeskhq.com/pennsylvania-e…
A Dem loss here would be very weird for The Narrative, with Biden embarrassed at home, but largely because 3700+ liberals voted for the spoiler.
That said, Lackawanna hasn't reported any mail-in ballots; Flynn crushed mail-ins in Luzerne. Winning mail-ins solidly in the Scranton area would lock it up for Flynn. lackawannacounty.org/wp-content/upl…

“The first thing I’d do as mayor us go to our police force and say, this city needs you,” Andrew Yang says in #NYCMayor debate. “Defund the police is the wrong approach.”
Eric Adams’s answer focuses on restoring the plainclothes units disbanded last year after George Floyd to deal with gangs and the “real pervasive handgun problem.”
Morales says if more money for police meant safety, NYC would already be the safest city in American; “address the systems and not the symptoms.”
