1. People are underestimating the size of Biden's victory for reasons mentioned in this useful thread: lots of votes left to count in blue states & also historic high turnout. Combined, it looks like a higher share of voters supported Biden than supported Reagan in 1984https://twitter.com/jtlevy/status/1324408585590329345 …

4. One way to think about election is that both Trump & Biden worked to expand participation of Republican voters: Trump by bringing in more WWC (and, although evidence still needs confirming, Latino working class) voters & Biden by encouraging Never Trumpers to vote.

5. Biden's whole argument was Trump was problem & once he's gone Dems & GOP can go back to normal politics. Also that he, Biden, is good for this restoration because he knows how to work with GOP. Given those claims, why wouldn't center-leaning voters split ticket?

6. If you think Trump was an existential threat to American democracy, then Biden's strategy was not only successful but justified. But festering centrist gridlock will itself produce future demagogues. La lutte continue. More:https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/biden-defeat-trump-democrat/ …

One data point is Gideon got about 87K fewer votes than Biden while Collins got about 55K more than Trump. A lot of people didn't vote straight tickets.

I don't buy this analysis because Trump's GOP turnout was the 2nd highest in history, after Biden himself. Also his approval within R voters remains 95%. If a lot of Never Trumpers really did vote Biden, a lot more first time voters decided to vote Trump, and that's mind boggling

Trump got 8 million more votes this year than he did in 2016 - where did they come from, what states had the majority of these?

Didn't Hillary Clinton do this, too, by saying during her campaign that Trump wasn't a real Republican?pic.twitter.com/0oCA7KLHyh

Could be argued her biggest mistake was not hanging Trump around the Republicans necks.
