Biden told Harris not to distance herself from his record. And it hurt her chances. Vance is now distancing himself from Trump but can he avoid the president’s wrath in the long term?

A horrendous idea by Virginia Foxx.

[Matt Fuller @MEPFuller]

Just looking at the numbers: Rep. Virginia Foxx is about 100 votes behind Chuck Hubbard.

That's a margin that's so thin that, if she loses, her efforts to restrict the media in the Capitol could end up playing a small but decisive role in her defeat.

Trump said last month that there would be a “1929 style economic depression” if Dems won the midterms. He said the same thing about Biden in 2020.

Trump put three justices on the Supreme Court. There will not be a fourth.

There are some good GOP candidates who lost tonight because of the Trump drag. But Vivek, Darline Graham, Roger Marshall and Ken Paxton are not in that category.

Speaker Johnson hinted he might stay on as minority leader but that appears unlikely. Minority leaders need to be bomb throwers and he is not that. Race would then be Scalise vs Jordan and maybe a wild card or two. Johnson would likely back his Louisiana colleague.

Months ago Republicans on the hill knew they would lose the House and said that will help them in 2028.

But some Republicans (Rubio?) think this will be like 2006 blue wave which was followed by 2008 blue wave. Big question is can Dems govern? Is Jeffries ready for prime time?

[SamJernigan.eth @macrosam]

@BobCusack Bob, does a Dem sweep help or hurt GOP presidential odds in 2028?

My view for a while has been that a sweep acts as a pressure valve on change energy and hands Republicans a Congressional foil for '28.

wdyt?

[Bob Cusack @BobCusack]

These results will scramble the 2028 race on GOP side. Republican field could be larger than anticipated. Rough night for JD Vance who urged voters to “give us another chance.”

[Bob Cusack @BobCusack]

Speaker Johnson yesterday: “We’re going to be celebrating big victories on Tuesday night.”

Donald Trump Jr. yesterday: “We expect some big wins tomorrow.”

[Bob Cusack @BobCusack]

President Trump was looking to avoid embarrassing losses in deep red districts and states. That mission will not be accomplished.

[Bob Cusack @BobCusack]

It’s early but it’s safe to say Republicans won’t have to worry about passing that $5,000 bill for everyone.

Aaron Glenn after every #Jets loss: “I am very frustrated. We just need to clean things up like penalties, turnovers, clueless clock management and not scoring from 1st and goal from the 1. And we will.” ……Glenn must go.
