Going shift gears a little. Tomorrow the quarterly GDP report comes out. Estimates are it will show 2-3% growth.
It will be another sign of @POTUS's successful management of a challenging moment in US, globally.
As we prep for this let's review some other economic data: 1/
5 times as many jobs have been created under Joe Biden @POTUS as were created under last GOP Presidents COMBINED.
Jobs have been created at 50x time the rate under Joe Biden as they were over the last 3 GOP Presidencies.
Of the 44m jobs created since 1989, 42m - 96% have been created under Democratic Presidents.
During the Biden Presidency we've seen the lowest uninsured and poverty rates in US history, and the lowest unemployment rate since WWII outside the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
And on GDP growth, so far the economy has grown at three times the rate under Biden as it did under Trump. 3 times. We will see where it comes in tomorrow.

Perhaps the biggest question in the 2022 election has been whether the big D overperformance we saw in the 5 House specials and Kansas would carry on to the general.
So far it appears that it is.
Turnout is much higher than 2018, and Ds are outperforming both 2018 and 2020.
Updated TargetEarly data remains encouraging for Dems. Overall vote running 15-16% higher than 18. Here's how the vote is coming back D/R:
2020 2022 (now)
US 52-37 54-36
GA 47-46 51-41
MI 41-38 53-27
OH 41-44 44-41
PA 68-25 73-23
TX 41-48 48-43 1/x
VA 54-32 56-29
WI 37-42 42-29
and
MN 47-30 48-24
NM 56-38 59-37
The election is really close. They had some good polling last week, we've had some polling this week. Our candidates have more money to close. Early vote super encouraging. Gas prices down. GDP number should be good this week.
Friends, 3 reasons why it's important to vote early:
- allows campaign to target and turnout lower propensity/newer voters, increasing D turnout
- makes our elections run smoother
- creates a "hey everyone is voting, I need to vote too" bandwagon effect, increasing Dem turnout
Encouraging early vote so far in GA, MI, NV, OH, PA, TX, VA, WI.
Great work everybody!
This is a close, competitive election and every action we take matters. Keep working hard.
