@atrupar Got hammered in the midterms and the answer is still Joe Biden. People are asking about their grocery bill and he keeps answering a different question.

Cindy Holscher will be the next Kansas governor, keeping the office in Dem hands, AP projects.
This is *first time* either party has won a 3rd consecutive 4-year term as Kansas governor. (Kansas switched to 4-year terms in 1972, & parties have traded office back & forth since.)
GOP electoral bloodbath wasn’t just about affordability. It was also a massive rebuke to the political economy of Trumpism.
On the pod, @zackbeauchamp is great on his new Public Reason Substack. Check out this exchange on how liberalism can rehab itself:

Mark Warner ended up carrying VA-5 by just over a percentage point as it stayed R for the House.
Perriello ran about even with Warner in Cville, and only slightly behind in the nearby localities, but fell further behind the deeper you moved into Southside.
"If there was one glaring takeaway from this week, it's that nearly everybody in the game expects Skubal to sign with the Mets.
'I don't know who else is really even in the conversation,' an NL executive said."
Politico reports Republicans gave Democrats less than 24 hours to submit candidates for comptroller general, the head of GAO and one of Congress's few real tools against presidential impoundment. Democrats say the bipartisan selection panel hasn't held a single meeting in more than ten months.
Rand Paul said last year he wanted someone honest and not active in politics. Funny way to show it. Nothing says independent watchdog like choking off the process in a lame duck so Trump can try to stock the office before losing the majority.
A fascinating stat @NateSilver538 alluded to the other day: following Dems' wins in KS/MS/SC/TX, 44 of 50 states have elected at least one Democratic senator since 2006.
Only 35 of 50 states have elected at least one Republican senator during that time span.

@RpsAgainstTrump Donald Trump is by far the most divisive President in my lifetime and likely long before. He doesn’t even try to unite the country. He openly calls Democrats evil, and communist. At one time or another he has called for just about every democrat to be put in prison.
