And no county voted for the losing candidate the last three elections. None for -- and I could not believe this -- none for two losers in a row!
Then it hit me -- not a single county voted for Trump in 2020 and then Harris in 2024. Not a single one. So no streak of 2 losers.
No. No county has voted for the losing candidate in the last seven presidential elections. Nor the last six. Nor the last five. Now I thought my calculations were wrong, so I calculated it a different way. Still none for the last five or the last four. ...
One Good Sentence™️

So many smart stories in @washingtonpost today about the historic Harris-Trump debate last night.
One feature you may enjoy as much as I did as a reader -- a graphic illustration and chat focused on The Deciders. The reaction from voters who haven't entirely decided on their candidate yet.
