This @julia_azari and @smotus discussion was really great and took on some of hard electoral questions raised by this race. Would Warren and even Sanders be winning comfortably too? Could Rubio or Bush have weathered the pandemic better electorally? https://t.co/nlg8JunEZe — PolitiTweet.org

The differences between black and Hispanic political preferences are so large that I sometimes worry the term "nonwhite voters" obscures more than it explains. And there are other problems with defining race/ethnicity in these fairly binary ways. https://t.co/o4VE9wLsWH https://t.co/8jUIvcohTW — PolitiTweet.org

Per Pew, Trump had the support of 14 percent of black men in 2016 and virtually no support among black women. So that gap may be growing but was already sizable. https://t.co/0NBkmdokwh https://t.co/iPqcPqtnIs — PolitiTweet.org

One of the other big underlying dynamics in this race, per Pew data, is one party that is overwhelmingly made up of Christians and another party that is now about half Christians and half other faiths/unaffliated. https://t.co/xKFJcgsZd6 https://t.co/X9S9WjSx6v — PolitiTweet.org

A graphic that says so much about American politics today, per @MorningConsult. About 60% of Americans overall (and 70% of voters) are non-Hispanic white people, as are about 63% of Biden supporters.

This, per the RNC, is the list of fairly popular things that Trump might do in a second term. But I tend to think he will invest more time and energy in the more controversial things (punishing anyone who he feels wronged him from 2017-20, increasing his own personal power.) — PolitiTweet.org

Another likely priority of a second Trump term: ending initiatives at all levels of government, in schools and universities and with companies that do business with the government (anything with federal funding) that highlight racial disparities and/or attempt to address them. — PolitiTweet.org

I am pretty sure that Harris will vote Biden's position on any issue in the event of 50-50 ties. They are pretty close ideologically, but more importantly, I assume she still wants the top job and voting against Biden's agenda would not be useful for that goal. — PolitiTweet.org
