After years of decline, 18–29-year-olds delivered a 35-point margin for @SpanbergerForVA — the biggest for Dems since 2017.

Older voters barely moved, but young voters anchored the Democratic turnaround.
Heartbroken by the loss of my friend @settiwarren — a bridge builder who believed deeply in people and in public service. His legacy endures through the many he mentored and inspired to lead @HarvardIOP and beyond.

TONIGHT: It’s #Nightcap time: The shutdown drags on as Trump focuses on wielding his power – The East Wing is demolished to make way for Trump’s new ballroom – & the NBA gambling scandal puts sports betting in the spotlight.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination is a dark moment. His politics were polarizing, yet many young people respected his willingness to debate openly and defend his beliefs. That commitment to free speech should be his legacy.

Interesting note in @dellavolpe.bsky.social’s Substack today: Trump’s approval rating of 39% with young voters right now is only barely better than Biden’s was at the end of this term. He’s crashing out hard. open.substack.com/pub/dellavol...
Trump and Musk's favorability in YouGov polling started strong among Gen Z and young millennials, but has cooled to ~40% at the moment.

Parallel journeys for this pair. 📊
My take-> “Rs are running circles around Ds for how to connect to the culture today. People still ask me in these post-election meetings, ‘Who is Theo Von?’ Even if they had the best message, you can’t connect if you’re not part of modern American culture...”

We have to look at why Musk's style is attractive to people - this is a good summary.
