7 in 10 likely voters say Youngkin’s ideas & policies are similar to Trump’s, including 63% of indies and 60% of Rs. McAuliffe is struggling to unify Biden’s coalition, with the support of 89% of Biden voters while Youngkin's backed by 99% of Trump voters. https://t.co/9JgBtcyTkR — PolitiTweet.org

Our new Washington Post poll shows that EDUCATION is now the No. 1 issue for Virginia voters in the governor's race, edging out the economy. In September, education voters favored McAuliffe by 33 points, but now they tilt toward Youngkin by nine points. https://t.co/9JgBtcyTkR — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Youngkin is fueled by an 18-point advantage among independent likely voters, up from an 8-point advantage last month. Virginia does not register voters by party, but 33% in this Washington Post poll self-ID as independents, with 34% as Dems and 27% as Rs. https://t.co/9JgBtcyTkR — PolitiTweet.org

A queer author caught in culture war crossfire: For this week's Please Go On podcast, I talk with Maia Kobabe, the author of "Gender Queer," which has been removed from high school libraries in Fairfax and become an issue in the Virginia governor's race. https://t.co/b2mJ7kPhMx — PolitiTweet.org

Former Danish PM & NATO Secretary General Anders Rasmussen says world leaders are closely watching Virginia’s election and would view a loss — or even a narrow win— by McAuliffe as a warning sign that America is not actually back. ⁦⁦@AnnieLinskey⁩ https://t.co/S3ryLJh3Qo — PolitiTweet.org

At this point, I cannot understand why Congress allows any witnesses to testify remotely. Especially when the witness is a corporate executive who has easy access to a fleet of private jets. Like a VP at YouTube. — PolitiTweet.org

TikTok executive Mike Beckerman, testifying before Congress, defends his platform by saying that Senate staffers have told him how entertaining TikTok is. This raises a host of security concerns. Hopefully these staffers aren’t using government phones with any sensitive material. — PolitiTweet.org

Face­book’s con­gres­sional out­reach to De­moc­rats had been run since 2013 by one of Pelosi’s most trusted for­mer aides, Catlin O’Neill, grand­daugh­ter of Tip O’Neill. But she quit because of Jan. 6. And some Democratic lobbyists won’t work for FB to avoid Pelosi’s enmity. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

De­moc­rats who have passed on Face­book’s out­reach in­clude many vet­eran Capi­tol Hill aides, a se­nior ad­viser to Biden and aides to Obama, in­clud­ing Va­lerie Jar­rett, per @bykowicz et al. — PolitiTweet.org

Face­book has been struggling since Jan­uary to hire a big-name De­mo­c­rat to over­see its U.S. lob­by­ing op­er­a­tions, a job that would pay more than $2.5 mil­lion a year in salary, stock and bonuses. But the company is seen as toxic. ⁦@bykowicz⁩ https://t.co/UT1zEk2fcV — PolitiTweet.org

Biden suggested during a Dem debate that Warren would never be able to push her wealth tax over the finish line — but now he might. “We all have good ideas,” Biden said. “The question is, who is going to be able to get it done?” Via ⁦@AnnieLinskey⁩ https://t.co/s7630XmNJH — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

It’s uncertain the wealth tax will survive the next few days —or hours— in reconciliation deal. But even if the wealth tax falls by the wayside, Dem leaders’ interest reflects a growing willingness in the party to take on the wealthy. ⁦@AnnieLinskey⁩ https://t.co/s7630XmNJH — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Nevertheless, Warren’s wealth tax idea persisted. Fun yarn by ⁦@AnnieLinskey⁩. https://t.co/s7630XmNJH — PolitiTweet.org
