There’s always hope, but it wasn’t realistic. What the election demonstrated is very troubling to MAGA. Both districts had been strong +30 HitlerPig districts, but in this election, theyvwere only +15. Either MAGAs didnt show up to vote, or many voted Democrat, a lot of Dems showed up, or a combination of the three.
The last one is the most likely explanation, and the scariest one for MAGA. That represents three different ways they are declining.
Also, both candidates ran excellent campaigns. Weill’s was terrific, and the kind of campaign that could be very effective in future Democratic campaigns. I hope he steps up to run again, preferably in a toss-up district. In a race like that, he could win easily.
Dems were hoping that anti Trump backlash would flip those seats. Oops.

Dems were hoping that it would be a close election… there was no real expectation that they would win.
I dont think anyone seriously thought Florida would flip. Trump backlash did get us a pretty big win in a red Wisconsin just a bit ago though.
