We’re going to hear lots of stories about which people, policies and rhetoric are to blame for the Democrats’ defeat. Some of those stories may even be true! But an underrated factor is that 2024 was an absolutely horrendous year for incumbents around the world 👇

An update on those numbers from last week, w/ @arogDC The Harris 2024 campaign* attracted contributions from more unique donors through Sept than Biden 2020 did for the entire cycle Story: on.ft.com/3Nzlmmc *Including period when Biden was at the top of the ticket
A chart titled "Dems have attracted more small donors than their 2020 campaign while Trump lags behind last cycle" with the subtitle "Cumulative unique donors by date of first contribution, 2020 and 2024 election cycles". It shows the pace that each of the 2020 and 2024 campaigns have attracted new donors. Trump's 2024 campaign, initially behind its 2020 pace, caught up in June but has since lagged behind again. Biden's 2024 campaign had fallen behind its 2020 pace, but after Kamala Harris took over at the top of the ticket, 1.5mn new donors were added within 11 days and the momentum has kept up since then, bringing the total through September to 5.7mn donors, well ahead of the 2020 pace of either campaign.

I’ve written and illustrated another London museum walk for FT Globetrotter, the Financial Times’ guide to cities. This time it’s the Postal Museum so, as well as the walk, it covers a ride on a stretch of the extraordinary underground Mail Rail ft.com/content/1ff4c9be-8b04… via @ft

Sorted: a first-class ride through British postal history
