    Jeet Heer Retweeted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

    Exactly. In 2016, Trump narrowly lost Minnesota (1.5%) which almost went the way of WI/MI/PA. In 2020 Trump campaigned hard in Minnesota with frequent references to Omar. And went on lose MN by 7%. Says something about effectiveness of his anti-left message.https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1325200580810141699 …

    Alexandria Ocasio-CortezVerified account @AOC
    I’ve been thinking so much of @IlhanMN. Trump made Minnesota explicitly about HER. Said he’d win because of her. Many Dems in DC believed him, & marginalized her. That burden wasn’t fair, but she took on the challenge anyway. She won. Credit and respect her. @RashidaTlaib too.

        Definitely some areas that it probably plays to but when it goes down it goes down hard, Virginia, Minnesota, when a place turns blue it’s political poison.

        There was a serious amount of vote splits down the board, not at all limited to left wing dems. Frankly a lot of it is the result of the dems being more reliant on wealthier whites, which is not seeming like a tenable coalition.

        I continually question the evidence that the socialism boogeyman, and a lot of the other talking points Trump/GOP used this election, actually work outside of Miami.

        So much of what happened with Dems like Spanberger losing or struggling to hold on is simply explained by this being a far more hostile environment to run in for Dems like them than 2018 because Trump was on the ballot.

        From what I'm seeing it feels like the congressional left is winning while moderates are losing because the left is working harder and out hustling more.

        Has a president ever run explicitly against one member of Congress like that? Did like Nixon or Truman really have it out for a congressperson in Ohio or something?

        We had a two-term Republican governor not that long ago, and had at least one Republican senator most of the time between 1978–2009.
