Something that would be smart for Democrats to do in 2024 is to run on Republicans' book bans. Given the local elections this year and their simultaneous results for partisan offices, it has been an unsung, winning issue for them in 2023. It's like a reverse Tea Party situation with what we've seen this year in these local elections for school board, and they're helping pull Democrats running for state legislative office in their partisan races across the finish line.

The second most important election in 2023 is the WI Supreme Court race. The first, obviously, are the state legislative elections in VA. I'm only putting VA ahead of WI because Youngkin's only chance of being a successful presidential candidate for 2024 depends on the result of that election, and it could be the first time since 2011 that the GOP won a trifecta.

Each party has won 97 seats in the PA House, with 9 seats up for grabs, Ds lead in 5 seats and GOP lead in 4 seats right now. 3 are extremely close: 151 (R+0.1), 142 (D+0.0), 144 (D+1.3).
