@EricMGarcia tbh tho, need a deeper dive on this. there are a lot of small towns and boroughs in those counties and it's possible that Biden is running up votes there. So, yes, it looks as if he's doing better in rural America when really he's doing better in small towns in rural regions — PolitiTweet.org

@EricMGarcia which means over a 6-year arc, the GOP in Pa has potentially lost serious ground in ... rural parts of the state? not exactly the common narrative! — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

@EricMGarcia making this result even more interesting, IMO, is how Biden actually already did better in some of these places in '20, vis-a-vis Clinton. Did almost 3 points better in Lebanon Co two years ago, for instance, than Clinton — PolitiTweet.org

@ShaneGoldmacher it also feels inevitable that the GOP will have another round of debate about managing its primaries, and whether the party can do more to wind up with stronger candidates. Scott, NRSC, were deliberately and strongly *hands off* this cycle — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

@ShaneGoldmacher Committee officials maintain that they spent their money wisely, focusing on "hybrid" ads and coordinated spending w/candidates. Also, it's a given that as much as the knives come out for Scott, so too they'll come out for McConnell — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

@ShaneGoldmacher The animosity ran so deep that even in the runup to the election, when Rs were feeling good about their chances, senior GOP operatives were criticizing Scott in v harsh terms: "There’s never been a worse chairman in the history of party committees." — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

- This @ShaneGoldmacher is going to get another round of attention https://t.co/aAWTO2dwhW Committee opted against heavy IE spending this cycle, especially at the end. Decision will get a lot of scrutiny moving forward — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

Insight from a smart Dem strategist: "Every midterm cycle, the party in power promises to make it a 'choice, not a referendum,' and they're almost never able to do it. This one was different." Trump + Dobbs = too much weight for GOP candidates, at least as far as red waves go — PolitiTweet.org

@StephenDouglasZ they won Senate seats in '18 because they had best map in a generation. Winning only two (and losing in https://t.co/dLlv7we36F. and MT) was a very poor performance. '20 wasn't a terrible year for GOP but there's a reason presidents usually win reelection. And Ds won Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

I know 3 of the 4 elections are close to political draws -- some victories and losses on both sides -- but the GOP had structural edges in all three of those: - Coming off two terms of a Dem president in '16 - Reelection seeking president in '20 - Midterm out of power — PolitiTweet.org
