Down ballot, dems weirdly did decently in a number of states even though they didn’t do as well for president

Wisconsin no longer has a republican super majority in their state legislature

Kentuky supreme court flipped to democratic control

There was a lot of ticket splitting and republicans who only voted for Trump and left the rest blank

The Republican-controlled Senate voted 52-48 to reduce the vote threshold for confirming nominees to the Supreme Court from 60 to 51, per The New York Times.

Easily pushed around by dictators and billionaires, not so easily pushed by average citizens

Harris is more able to be influenced by public pressure which is what John Oliver is trying to get at

Huh, turns out the Republican earlier BS claims of stolen valor for Tim Walz were just talking about the wrong Tim all along
