@matthewjdowd I covered it at the time, wrote a chapter in a political science textbook about it afterward and feel very comfortable with my understanding of the data. — PolitiTweet.org

@neeratanden Internal polling I have seen from Republicans, interviews with voters, and lots of anecdotal evidence from my heavily evangelical hometown of Apple Valley, Minnesota. — PolitiTweet.org

@neeratanden @Beverlyb11 Obviously, as I wrote, it's going to help immensely with fundraising. But Heidi Heitkamp raised $12.4 million after opposing Brett Kavanaugh. And she still lost by 11 points. — PolitiTweet.org

@Beverlyb11 @neeratanden I address this very poll at length in the piece. — PolitiTweet.org

@StevenJDuffield Thank you. I will correct. Got that from a clip that I will also make sure gets fixed. — PolitiTweet.org

@gilmored85 If you read my coverage, you will know that I am in no way treating covid as an election bauble. In fact, that's offensive. I've written literally thousands of words a day about the pandemic for almost seven months. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

@neeratanden Address the grassroots $ #s in the piece. I wrote last week about why SCOTUS might motivate the left more than the right this year. But, now, the timing of this vacancy is activating a lot of anti-abortion R voters who are unhappy with Trump's handling of the pandemic, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

8) The coming fight will further erode public confidence in the neutrality and independence of the courts. 9) Chief Justice John Roberts will no longer be the swing vote on the Supreme Court. Read a special edition of The Daily 202: https://t.co/FP45QqgUHy — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

6) Few Republican senators will care about being charged with rank hypocrisy. 7) There will be immense pressure from the left for Democrats to pack the Supreme Court if they win the Senate majority. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

4) This vacancy will drive up turnout and energy on both sides, but it could wind up motivating the right more than the left. 5) This vacancy makes ticket splitting less likely in November, increasing the odds that Republicans hold the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

A few implications of RBG's death: 1) Trump will probably nominate a woman in the next few days. 2) A Senate vote seems most likely during the lame-duck session after the election. 3) This vacancy gives Trump the chance to reframe the presidential race away from the coronavirus. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Trump will probably nominate a woman in the next few days. POTUS called McConnell on his flight back to Washington from his Minnesota rally to say he likes Amy Coney Barrett of the Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit and Barbara Lagoa of the 11th Circuit. https://t.co/FP45QqgUHy — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

This didn’t concern Sen. Cruz at all four years ago when he championed having a 4-4 split on the court through the election. Also, the circuit court ruling would stand if SCOTUS deadlocked. And Republican-appointed justices have a 5-3 advantage. Not a Constitutional crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

As a schoolgirl, Justice Ginsburg — known to friends as “Kiki” — was smart, popular and competitive, both a bookworm and a baton twirler. But her early life was also shadowed by tragedy. Her older sister, Marilyn, died of meningitis at age 8. https://t.co/BXKoyeqc2V — PolitiTweet.org

Joan Ruth Bader — her mother suggested using her middle name in kindergarten to avoid confusion with other Joans in the class — was born on March 15, 1933. She was the second daughter of a Jewish immigrant from Russia who became a furrier and haberdasher. https://t.co/BXKoyeqc2V — PolitiTweet.org
