.@Lawrence: No Democratic leader of the House has ever had to face what Hakeem Jeffries had to face when Donald Trump decided to do redistricting halfway through the constitutionally mandated census periods.
There is nothing more complicated in American politics than trying to mastermind House congressional elections, even without redistricting.
Hakeem Jeffries coordinated the Democratic Party's response across the country to Donald Trump's redistricting, and the Democrats won almost all of the seats that Donald Trump tried to take away from them through redistricting.
And all credit here goes to:
1. HMP's Finance team, who worked their asses off to absolutely SMASH our fundraising records
2. An incredibly smart IE team lead by @shripal734, who saw that we could flip districts deep into Trump territory
One week later, time to revisit HMP's initial reservations
1. Republicans told every reporter that there was ZERO chance HMP was able to fulfill our reservations - we raised A LOT more
2. HMP prepared for a BIG map and targeted #CO05, #OH10, #OH15, #SC01#TX23, #WI01 etc. early
🚨NEW from WSJ🚨
➡️@HouseMajPAC announces $272 million in TV and digital reservations
➡️Nearly 80% of these reservations are in offensive districts - including OH+FL+TX+SC
➡️Record $80 million digital reservation
➡️Spanish language reservations have increased 140% from 2024
NEW from @PunchbowlNews:
Democrats say it’s time to ban lawmakers from trading stocks.
“I strongly support banning members of Congress from being able to trade stock,” Hakeem Jeffries told ABC. “That’s one of the things that we’ll need to do as soon as we’re back in control.”
“You’re the only one who can win that seat,” Jeffries told Moskowitz as he was considering dropping out of politics. “You’re the linchpin for the other three.”

I'm gonna be honest, it seems like the only Democrats who are fighting post election are like 4-5 consultants on Twitter and the rest of us are just having a great time and probably going on vacation soon.
