5. We're talking ruby red districts bordering Alabama. Yet we still cut GOP margins in half!

Yesterday

Trump won FL-01 by 37 points and FL-6 by 30 points last November. These guys both won by around a 15 point margin. In Gaetz's old FL-01 District Patronis won by 57% to 42.2%; In Waltz's FL-06 district Fine won by 56.7% to 42.7%. Both Dems cut the Republican win margin by half (15 percentage points!) compared to November.

I'm heartened tonight, especially by the solid Crawford and Underly statewide wins in pivotal Wisconsin.
