Democrats overperform in NY special election 92% to 8%.

Democrats have been consistently overperforming. Trump world sees the warning signs.

That doesnâ€™t mean we coast. It means we vote. Show up, flood the polls, and shut down the 2026 midterm games before they start.

when a couple GQPer's defect in order to hand the gavel to Democrats, in hopes that some % of blue voters will go "phew, okay, we're back in control of the House" and not show up to vote.

I'm not saying it's going to work, but it might slightly boost their chances. It has to be real close to the election though, so Dems won't be able to actually get anything done before the election.
