The claim is that a good presidential campaign builds tailwinds for Senate campaigns. Both Obama and Biden wins flipped red seats. I don't think one rally would've made HRC win in WI, but zero visits is a symbol of a bad campaign that wasn't focused on it at all, and it had a huge cost

Yeah, just imagine if she took it seriously instead of sending Michelle Obama to Arizona, then they both could've won

There was a certain presidential candidate that year who decided his state wasn't worth a single visit

Chi Osse's challenge to Hakeem Jeffries. Zohran attended a citywide DSA meeting as mayor-elect and encouraged them not to endorse Osse, arguing that the energy in 2026 would be better spent trying to enact his agenda than fighting a democratic primary.

Gallego is right! I'm not trying to say all centrism is bad. I think Spanberger was being counterproductive taking shots at Mamdani, and it makes me question her fitness to potentially lead the national party. I wouldn't like him doing the same to her or Gallego either.

Everyone knows that, Mamdani is quoted as such in the same article. That's all she had to say. Instead she took shots at whether he's a real democrat and whether his policies will work. We lost in '16 and '24 after Dem nominees disavowed the left and campaigned with Bush daughters, Cheney, etc.

Not OP, but I didn't love her taking swipes at Mamdani for political points. I don't think the way you grow the coalition is to preemptively distance yourself from an actual democrat that voters nominated to court the mythical swing voter www.cnn.com/2025/11/03/p...
