Buttigieg drops a new book (ahead of a Dem gathering this week where he’s a headliner).
In this critical moment for the American project, I’ve been thinking a lot about what comes next. Over the past year and a half, I’ve put those thoughts on paper, and they’ve grown into a book I’m proud to share with you.
My latest book, NEXT, is not a policy manual. It’s a look at how our nation got to this point, an argument for why this is the moment to build something better, and a case for the principles that should guide us as we do.
NEXT arrives at your local bookseller and on your favorite audiobook platforms on January 26th and is available for pre-order today. I hope you’ll read it. simonandschusterpublishing.c…

At some point, we have to talk about @CookPolitical and other “prognosticators” who had me and other southern candidates labeled as solid R for much of the campaign cycle. They made it much more difficult to fundraise and are part of the reason the South has been neglected for so long.
They’re only a reflection of the past and mysteriously avoid any accountability when they’re wrong. One of their “analysts” was extremely condescending to me (not Jessica) when I tried to make my pitch for why they were wrong about my rating like he knew something about MS politics when he’s never been to the Sip. This attitude hurt Jaime Davis & others so much.

I just met with Senator John Cornyn.
He has served our state honorably, and I’m grateful for his advice and guidance.
Now is the time for us to come together — Democrats and Republicans — to deliver for Texas.

VoteHub obtained North Carolina’s list of voters with provisional ballots still to be counted from the State Board of Elections office. They are heavily Democratic and could help Democrats hold NC-05 and flip NC-03.

The important context here is that this guy was purged by Abbott for voting with democrats on opposing school vouchers.
His inclusion is a nod to that issue, which is getting missed a lot by national commentators that haven’t followed Texas politics for a while.

All this "transplants flipped Texas" stuff is serious cope.
Ted Cruz is Canadian.
Ken Paxton is from North Dakota.
Dan Patrick is from Baltimore.
Elon Musk is from South Africa.
Joe Rogan is from Jersey.
Talarico: Native Texan. Ginajosa: Native Texan.
As of 2023, the percentage of citizens living in Texas who were born there is actually higher than the national average. It's not even top 25 in percentage of transplants.

With Dems all but certain to prevail in Mississippi and Alaska, we're most likely looking at a 56D-44R Senate and a ~260D-175R House, which would be Dems' largest House majority since 1992.
