Trump goes on another racist rant about Somalis: "Ilhan Omar should be thrown the hell out of our country, and most of those people -- they have destroyed Minnesota. It's a hellhole right now. Those Somalians should be out of here. They have destroyed out country ... go back to your own country."

Q: The mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, is saying he's proud to have the largest Somali community in the country--
TRUMP: Then he's a fool. I wouldn't be proud to have the largest Somalian-- look at their nation. It's just people walking around killing each other.

Love the cope in the NYPost. If being 'too left' nonetheless shifts an R+22 district to R+9 despite massive efforts by the GOP, then every Dem everywhere should shift as far left as humanly possible.
Special elections are funny things, but all 5 of them in 2025 shifted +D by over 10 points.

Avg swing in specials to Congress is 17 pts left since 2024. But bc they've been so low-turnout, the data b4 last night suggested a 100% turnout (relative to the past midterm) special would have swung closer to 6-7 points. So TN-7 (13 pts) is updating priors about the share of swing that's turnout
