As far as I can see, David Valadao's defeat is the worst for a general election incumbent against one major party opponent in 94 years, since the Great Depression.
In 1932, Peter Granata (R) lost to Leo Kocialkowski (D), 72-28.
Even in 2010, Joseph Cao (R) lost to Cedric Richmond (D), 65-34.
Valadao is at 31.9%.
Actually, he got a BETTER job: Gary Peters (D-Mich.) will become the director of the Center for the Political Future (CPF), holding the Carmen H. and Louis Warschaw Endowed Chair in Practical Politics at USC beginning Jan. '27. He succeeds the infamous Robert Shrum.๐
Sen. @GaryPeters (D-MI) says he decided to forgo reelection because he says the founders of the U.S. believed "members of Congress should go and serve in Congress and then go back to their private life, not stay their whole life."
To its credit, Maryland now has early voting so I went to a nearby Early Voting Center to vote. Itโs a very important election and I urge you to vote.
Trump is currently at a campaign rally in Kentucky, talking about changing the name of the gulf of Mexico and campaigning against Roy Cooper, who is running for Senate in (checks notes) North Carolina.
Good use of time for everyone involved.
Who would've ever thought that a Jewish refugee would make it to the U.S. Army, to the White House, and to becoming a candidate for the U.S. Senate. Only in America is that possible, and it would not have been possible without you, Florida.
I still believe in the American Dream, because I've lived it. It's worth fighting for.
Rep. Nixon ran a strong campaign. I will be standing by her side in the fight against Ashley Moody. I hope you'll join me.
The betting odds right now:
๐ฆ 87% chance Democrats win the House
๐ฆ 45% chance Democrats sweep BOTH the House & Senate.
The Blue Wave is coming! ๐ Congress is slipping away from the Republicansโand they know it.
Keep the pressure on. Pedal to the metal until Election Day! ๐
WATCH: U.S. Army helicopters roar past the Washington Monument, cutting across the D.C. skyline as the Great American State Fair gets underway.
The flyover marks the opening moment for the event, bringing a military show of force to one of the nationโs most recognizable landmarks.
He also used the term "these people" to describe a suspected lone-wolf shooterโdoing so clearly to start seeding the idea that the shooter (about whom almost nothing is known) was representative of some ideology or group he hates. The truth? He has almost no information at all.
TWEEPS: At 5pm today, trump moved to end mail-in voting while continuing to use it himself. Thatโs not election integrity, thatโs blatant voter suppression.
