The political experience of the Biden era for Democrats is: extended periods of intense anxiety about terrible polling, occasionally punctuated by strangely positive election nights. And then the cycle repeats.

No, Trump didn’t follow the Presidential Records Act. No, Obama and the Bushes didn’t take millions of papers. No, the feds couldn’t have just asked nicely. No, 1,850 Biden boxes haven’t vanished.

So far as I can tell there has been zip, zero, nada from the NY Democratic party in the way of postmortems or reforms. A national embarrassment.
How bad was Democratic turnout in New York last November?
- In 2020, George Santos (R) captured 161,931 votes in #NY03 and lost by 12.5 pts.
- In 2022, George Santos (R) captured 145,824 votes in #NY03 and won by 7.5 pts.
