2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
60. IMHO this measure passing would be the biggest upset of the cycle. The bigger question: Does the abortion ballot measure have enough coattails to knock off Trump or Rick Scott? I could buy Georgia going back to Trump, if for no other reason than I'm skeptical of a state in the deep Confederacy voting for Biden twice. But Arizona isn't going red.

And a reminder that the best deals are the ones in which all parties walk away thinking they got taken to the cleaners.

2024 State Flips Game.
Abortion abortion abortion. This is a big reason why Arizona is going to stay blue, and is one of the two big question marks for the presidential. 1. The Republican nominee for governor in NC makes Roger Taney look like an abolitionist. If the Democrat wins governor by daylight, does he drag Biden across the wire there? 2. Abortion on the ballot in Florida is unlikely to get the 60% needed for passage. However, does this ballot measure crank up blue turnout enough to spoil the party for Rick Scott and/or Trump? Florida is also the only spot on the board for the blue team to try playing offense in the Senate (sorry Texas, but if Beto couldn't get rid of Cruz in 2018, it's not happening now), so resources will not be a problem. My pick: same as 2020 except Biden wins North Carolina.

Brexit shenanigans
I don't get the timing, either. I've also read that over the winter, there were a couple of by-elections where Israel somehow became the focal point, and they resulted in a third party winning the seat. Maybe the thought is to use that result and somehow end up with a hung Parliament with them as the largest bloc, and form a coalition government from there. But if that was the thought, why didn't he call the election then? On an aside, I feel that there is more knowledge of the Westminster style of Parliament in this thread than in much of the US combined.

Dog Killer, Kristi Noem
Folks, we all know what Donald Trump thinks of dogs. The only thing this did was ensure that she's the VP pick. In the modern Republican Party, cruelty is an asset.

Channel 5, the newsroom that commissioned this poll, is the worst local news in the Twin Cities, and has been for some time. Trump winning U34s 54-29? I want a dose of whatever drugs this pollster is smoking. The MNGOP, or rather what's left of it, was crowing about this.

The last time Wisconsin elected a Legislature under fair maps was either 2008 or 2010.
