There's been some confusion out there about how @CookPolitical PVI works. A PVI score of R+10, for example, means that an R candidate should expect to get ~60% in a district if Trump won 50% of the vote nationally. Read our full explainer: https://t.co/qEWB5dxAjf

[Erin Covey @ercovey]

A common misconception! Cook PVI measures the partisanship of the district relative to the nation as a whole — not the margin between the two parties in the past presidential election. So a district that Trump won, on average, by about 20 points in the past two elections, is R+10

Trump's political interests align directly with the impact on his voters. The greatest risk of losing their support arises when his disruptive actions affect their day-to-day lives.

Molly is one of the smartest and most clear-eyed political reporters out there. I always learn something from her. We also talk about why writing/reading political profiles - not relying only on process/models - is critical to understanding politics.

[Cook Political Report @CookPolitical]

It’s easy to fall for all of the “what happened?” hot takes. Resist that urge & inform yourself with the best in the business: @amyewalter of @CookPolitical.

If you were surprised by the results of the election, don’t blame the polls.

Polling accurately captured the challenges facing the Harris campaign; namely falling support from younger voters, Latino voters and men.

Bacon once again outperforms the top of the ticket, beating Tony Vargas (D) by 2 points as Harris wins NE-02 by 4.

Dems were confident about their chances of flipping this seat, in part because polls showed Harris winning by a larger margin (Biden won by 6 points in 2020)
