but having a presidential nominee win the primary (and win it easily) and still turning around to make concessions to the left was unusual if not unprecedented? — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

it's not just that -- Trump (and the reality of his presidency, not just the prospect of it) and the pandemic were also important. As is what some activists describe as a new clear-eyed view of politics, where they understand they're activism doesn't end if Biden wins — PolitiTweet.org

If Biden wins, the post-primary Unity Task force is likely going to get a lot credit from leaders on the Left — PolitiTweet.org

“Ohio presents an opportunity I wouldn’t have foreseen three months ago,” said Jenn Ridder, the Biden campaign's national states director. “I wouldn’t have thought we’d be as competitive as we are in that state." https://t.co/w1RFwdNpUY (tbc this is still just a guess) — PolitiTweet.org

Jenn Ridder, Biden's national states director, said that of all the new battlegrounds, *Ohio* surprised her “Ohio presents an opportunity I wouldn’t have foreseen three months ago. I wouldn’t have thought we’d be as competitive as we are in that state." https://t.co/w1RFwdNpUY — PolitiTweet.org

Pennsylvania. North Carolina. Florida. Arizona. Michigan. Wisconsin. (And Nevada, too) Based on ad spending and campaign visits, the Biden campaign's focus has never wavered from the core battlegrounds this year, even at the end https://t.co/w1RFwdNpUY — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

I say "odd" because Cook has the race as a "toss-up," while Inside Elections and Crystal Ball have it "lean Democrat." So Finkenauer considered is generally seen a slight favorite, and no one thinks she'd lose big as the cross-tabs of this generic poll indicate — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

Deleting an earlier tweet about Finkenauer trailing in the DMR poll. Survey was of a *generic* preference for Rs or Ds. In it, 1st district voters backed the GOP over Dems 51% to 36%. Still an odd result in a district where a D got 51% of the vote in '18 https://t.co/mB4QjihrBi — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

@JHagner I think you're right, re-reading this story. (for the 4th time). a little odd — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

The DMR polls is bearish on Ds across the board. It shows Rep. Finkenauer trailing, badly, with just 36% of the vote. She received 51% in '18. https://t.co/mB4QjihrBi Again, it's an outlier. And I'm strongly inclined to think Finkenauer, even if she loses, gets well above 36% — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

Best poll for Trump and the GOP in a while, +7 in Iowa. An outlier, but one that sends up a warning flare for Biden not just in the state but the all Midwest battlegrounds https://t.co/tm4CbDBYdv — PolitiTweet.org
