Split the 28 Senate nominees into thirds by how they sounded. The most progressive-sounding third ran 3.8 points behind the typical Democratic shift from 2024, on average. The most moderate-sounding third ran 2.1 points ahead.

Senate Democrats who sounded most progressive online ran behind, populist less so. But there's a catch. We had Claude read over 57K posts across 191 Democratic nominees in October and placed each one on a scale from the party's moderate wing to its progressive wing. Read the interactive story below and see the posts that make up each feed 🧵

Claims of fraud from right-wing commentators essentially evaporated soon after polls closed, with the bulk turning to doom and gloom (and a few blaming Trump).

Comedian Pete Davidson mocked a permanently-wounded veteran. That’s bad. But the actual Republican president of the United States mocked a permanently-wounded veteran for being captured. I’m completely uninterested in GOP crocodile tears over a comedian. Pathetic. Really.
