Why Democrats Should Be Most Worried About Troy Jackson (And It’s Not the Consultants) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If the final election outcome reflected the average of polls sampled in the third and fourth weeks of September (not including any internal polls from campaigns or affiliated political action committees), Democrats would cede none of their own U.S. Senate seats and flip North Carolina, Ohio, Kansas, Texas, Iowa, and Maine—two more than they need to take control of the upper chamber. However, Democrats can’t be cocky, since most poll margins are slim. The slimmest of those cited above is Maine, w
This Is the Biggest Reason Why a Blue Wave Is Probably Coming (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are lots of reasons to believe Democrats are about to crush the midterm elections. Donald Trump’s average job approval is below 40 percent, about 5 points lower than it was in the 2018 midterms, which were deemed a “Blue Wave.” His authoritarian antics continue to dominate media coverage, as does seemingly corrupt behavior from him and his family. Democrats are ahead in the generic congressional ballot poll average by nearly 9 points, matching the national popular vote margin for the 2018
The Supreme Court Still Works as the Founders Intended (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The John Roberts Court, in my opinion, is the worst Supreme Court since the Roger Taney Court, which gave us the Dred Scott decision. Rulings that ended abortion rights, unleashed corporate spending in political campaigns, handcuffed federal agencies, throttled carbon emissions regulations, weakened labor protections, blessed discrimination against transgender people, and largely immunized presidents who commit crimes have not only produced bad outcomes, but were poorly reasoned and betrayed a c
Will It Be a Blue Wave? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the midterm elections enter their post-Labor Day general election phase, all signs still point to Democrats taking the House, which requires a net gain of three seats. But we can’t know whether they will ride a Blue Wave that would give them a sizable House majority along with control of the Senate. What would constitute a “wave election”? Four years ago for the Washington Monthly, I explored that question, because no consensus definition exists. I offered my own benchmark: “Since the preside
Amy Acton Won’t Debate. It’s Worked Before (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Soon after Ohio’s Republican gubernatorial nominee Vivek Ramaswamy publicly accepted two debate invitations and called on his Democratic opponent Amy Acton to do the same, she did not oblige. Instead, her campaign released a “Statement on Debates” which declared, “Dr. Acton’s focus is on talking with Ohioans, not platforming a scam artist…” It’s a hair short of a flat declaration that Acton will never debate Ramaswamy, but only that. Cue the predictable reactions. The Ohio Republican Party poste
