Oh wow, baby, last night was so good, we’re still perspiring wrapped in a Frette sheet and smoking a cigarette. What just happened? We’ve never felt anything like that. Historic. The earth moved!

All over the country, from tips to tails, Democrats didn’t just win a little, they came, ate, and swept up the crumbs, even in lots of places where Kamala Harris lost. And even down to the Georgia Public Service Commission, where Democrats won two seats there for the first time in 25 years!

All signs point to It’s The Groceries, Stupid, with an assist from that whole erosion-of-democracy Trump has going on, and a side of ICE bullshit. Voters in all four states with major races — California, New York, Virginia, and New Jersey — told exit pollsters that trusting the Democrats with the economy was their primary motivation. Guess Trump can’t just declare that grocery prices are down when they’re going up, and nobody will notice. Independents noticed in particular! And, Latino support for Republicans has understandably cratered too. Meanwhile, Trump’s support is lagging all over, and he’s scraping along with a 37 percent approval rating. Sad.

. . .

Let’s end with Mamdani’s victory speech, what a night, what a guy! It’s The Groceries, but it’s also the candidates, too, inspiring voters and getting them out! And Mamdani’s rise, from polling at one percent in January to winning more than 50 percent of the vote yesterday, is simply incredible, unprecedented. The first Muslim mayor! At 34, the youngest mayor of New York in more than a century. Whatever “it” is, he’s got it!
