I know less about these candidates but Abdul’s remark that establishment. Ds involved in 2024 should not be the gold standard on electability definitely resonates. Certainly we are a long way from 2019 politically - at least outside of DC
I will say again, everything you are saying againt her was what people said against Biden and it turned out he was the one who could beat Trump. What we like in primaries is not usually what voters like in the general.
Good example: We did a deep dive research on working class women voters in eastern PA in 2019 - they were so alienated by the Dem primary candidates. The only one they really could related to was Biden because he talked like them.
If both races really played out this way, the governor result would make the Senate winner a very hot commodity in the 2028 Democratic presidential race
🚨 NEW from @Groundwork: Our electricity markets are in crisis. While we bicker about affordability vs. supply, bills go up and our grid falls further behind demand.
@grayson_flood bridges the gap. Use the public balance sheet to lower bills and build, build, build ⬇️
“Two years after Joe Biden’s visible decline helped Trump return to the White House, these results are further evidence that the base is angry—at institutions, about Israel and ICE, and about its own leadership’s handling of Trump” https://t.co/yUoO6y7VEg
The rejection of establishment democrats goes well beyond just not standing up to Trump right now. This is 10 years in the making and misreading national mood. Yelling louder about Trump might help but won’t solve.
The Dem establishment and Dem centrists can wring their hands and complain about the results in Colorado.
Or they can learn a lesson: Their repudiation was in large part about their perceived unwillingness to stand up firmly and unhesitatingly to Trump.
So start doing so!
It’s like the old patients bill of rights. Everyone is for this stuff and some people are for approaches that will actually fix the problem. Worth being clear
That is definitely the usual view—but it is wrong. Democrats’ overwhelming obsession with poll tested pablum is the problem. Our data shows that the problem is one of policy and not “messaging.” Voters want leaders who will actually solve their problems. https://t.co/mDitlCT1t6
agree policy is the problem. Most of ‘kids over clicks’ is in a bill that passed senate ~93-0 in ‘24 and live now. R u suggesting ‘29 Dems be for real liability protections like that one. Bc watered down house version has much of same content just no teeth./

This is a good policy idea. Almost all of it will is contained in a bipartisan bill (Blackburn-Blumenthal) so not sure it’s a bold new idea as proclaimed but good nonetheless
NEW - Dems' "Project 2029" first major policy proposal: an online child safety plan — narrowing Sec. 230, banning social media for kids under 16, promoting phone-free childhoods and more
Already backed by Cory Booker, Mikie Sherrill, Randi Weingarten + Jonathan Haidt
We’re thrilled to announce @BFischerMartin as the next Director of @HarvardIOP. Betsy brings decades of experience at the intersection of politics, policy, and media, and we could not be more fortunate to have her at the helm as the IOP begins its next chapter. https://t.co/p77mPSgyyk
Taxing AI isn’t radical.
There are a lot of hard policy decisions in the near term, but Americans are so far ahead in their understanding of what we need to do. Great to get some data about people's enthusiasm for taxes.
