A political analyst I respect commented before the 2024 election that he didn’t know which candidate would win the presidency, but he was certain that the winner’s party would take a beating in the 2026 midterms.
Thank you for putting this together! I've been thinking about all these variables and was having a hard time remembering them, but this is so useful and easy to understand.
Every two years we hear ecstatic “there will be a Blue Wave!” but it never materializes because the Democratic Party doesn’t build an alternative movement, it only fund raises on opposition to the Republicans.
LOL, I still can't say anything to R. She's still furious with me for telling her at 9PM on Election Day 2016 that Clinton would win by the time she woke up. It's the sofa for me for sure if I get it wrong twice!

THANK YOU Matt. Concise and rational. The type of reporting needed in these unarguably tempestuous times.
Encouraging news indeed!
