Dug into who’s actually planning to ask an AI chatbot who to vote for this fall - young voters, voters of color, and men all over-index.

A potentially decisive slice of the electorate, even though adoption overall is still early days.

What kind of answers at the chatbots giving back? We're tracking them here: https://t.co/j01r6AD3ok

Want to read something other than a 192 page autopsy?

Check out our new research with @ChangePolls -- 15% of voters say they're likely to ask political questions of a chatbot this cycle.

But, another 62% plan to use Google Search, where they may get AI answers regardless.

[Meg Schwenzfeier @_Schwenzfeier]

Agree with this article that there's a ton of ground to cover to understand how chatbots influence voters. @jackwelty and I built Caucus AI to start tracking it -- but there's lots more to test and learn.

No one knows anything... but we're working on it!

The first step to solving political AEO is collecting data. @_Schwenzfeier and I are building Caucus AI to help the left figure out what chatbots are saying about our candidates and how we can improve those answers. Link below!

LLMs like Claude and ChatGPT are going to be major sources of information for voters in the '26 midterms.

Most Republicans and Democrats have no idea what to do about that

Democratic political consultants continue to lag Republicans in AI use -- this is bad!

[James Booth @JamesFBooth]

we need a whole array of new tools to track the new competitive narrative and message environment - very excited to see @_Schwenzfeier and @jackwelty working on this piece:

Really cool tool to categorize and surface behaviors of LLMs in political contexts! This is both technically a very novel application and practically extremely useful insight into the “fairness” of big models

What does ChatGPT say when you ask “Who’s running for Congress in my district?” What about other models like Gemini and Grok? Are the answers the same? Are any of them right?

We built a tool to find out.

[Jack Welty @jackwelty]

Check out the links below for more on the tool, built with support from @AnalystInst, and @_Schwenzfeier and I's initial research on what sources the models themselves are relying on. Spoiler: your choice of model is quietly a choice of news outlets!

[Becca Siegel @beccasiegel]

We're going to spend billions of dollars pitching candidates to voters, and the single most important thing a voter will see is probably whatever pops up in the AI summary when they google "who is running for office in my district?"

[Meg Schwenzfeier @_Schwenzfeier]

Excited to share the chatbot tracker @jackwelty and I put together, with support from @AnalystInst – a tool that monitors how AI models answer common questions about politics, candidates, and elections.

@JackCully Could y'all add the folder that a note is in to the `get_meetings` response?
