"The clearest way to understand the results of the 2020 election ... is through the education voting gap. Voters with college degrees flocked to Mr. Biden… Those without them continued their flight from the Democratic Party," ⁦@llerer⁩ writes. https://t.co/lpzpHIkngW — PolitiTweet.org

As they prepare to depart, two Senate veterans from different parties (Alexander and Udall) offer ⁦@hillhulse⁩ different prescriptions for how to fix the institution. One they agree on, though: It's broken. https://t.co/2eOfdFvequ — PolitiTweet.org

Back in the day, when @harrispolitico @shearm @mikeallen @hsu_spencer and I covered Virginia, the conservatives were the ones who preferred conventions while the moderates pushed for primaries. Now the moderates want a convention to block a Trump conservative. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Baker @peterbakernyt

Virginia Republicans opt for a convention to pick their gubernatorial nominee next year rather than a primary, prompting a Trump-style candidate to drop out and run as an independent instead. ⁦@LVozzella⁩ https://t.co/JWFYOn2zqW — PolitiTweet.org

At times,Trump’s railing-against-his-fate outbursts seem like a story straight out of Shakespeare, part tragedy, part farce, full of sound and fury. “This is classic Act V behavior." How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless electorate. https://t.co/NOEB3KLKiN — PolitiTweet.org

In the last 15 years, more than a quarter of the country’s newspapers have closed and 1,800 communities that had a local news outlet in 2004 were left without any at the beginning of 2020. @SarabethBerman warns of the damage to a functioning democracy. https://t.co/rbBgdgPNqU — PolitiTweet.org

At the current pace of job creation, it would take 29 more months to return to February employment levels and many of those who were looking at temporary unemployment are now facing permanent job losses. ⁦@Neil_Irwin⁩ https://t.co/URTOqcvH2g — PolitiTweet.org

Employers added 245,000 jobs in November, the fifth month in a row that the pace of hiring has tapered off. The unemployment rate in November was 6.7 percent, down from the previous month’s rate of 6.9 percent. ⁦@PatcohenNYT⁩ https://t.co/q84x8tUipu — PolitiTweet.org
