Nov 2025

A year from now, the economy will be in recession, with double digit inflation , increasing unemployment, and healthcare premiums that have doubled or tripled.

The analyses I have read estimate Dems need a 3-4 point margin to overcome expected gerrymandering, and the last two generic ballot polls give them twice the needed margin.

It will be a blue tsunami blood bath.
