We were so close to having nice things.
Dems faced a difficult election cycle, but we should be proud!
Felon is under 50% of the popular vote, not a mandate ranking 44th out of 51 elections since 1824!
In 2016, Ds had majorities in 29 state legislatures & 6 Dem trifectas. Going into 2025, Ds have 40+ state leg majorities & 15 trifectas!
