'A trend that can't be ignored': Dems have made up ground in nearly every election since Trump took office
(Politico) In some other year, Analilia Mejia’s 20-point win in New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District might have been a stunning result.
But the progressive organizer’s romp on Thursday elicited little shock, despite the margin in a district former Vice President Kamala Harris had carried by just 8 points.
It was the latest in a long string of Democratic overperformances in elections since President Donald Trump took office last year, and nowhere near the biggest.
A POLITICO analysis of 229 state and federal elections since Trump’s inauguration shows Democratic candidates outperformed Harris in 193 of them. On average, Democratic candidates overperformed Harris by 5 points. In a handful of special elections, they have pulled more than 20 points to the left.

... to vote with the Dems ... every time! We can't "defeat" the MAGA-cult and we can't make them go away. But we can overwhelm them by having better, smarter candidates who know how to talk to real people.
