constitutional expert on whether the sitting VP, in this case Kamala Harris, could break a tied Senate vote on the VP choice in a contingent election (an object of fascination for me given plausible 269-269 scenarios in the Electoral College).

NEW Senate polling As Dems play defense in '24, they start out ahead in Pennsylvania & Wisconsin Why races may tighten: Dems < 50% despite incumbency/name ID Difficult environment w/ ticket splitting rare Plenty undecided, and they lean Republican More: cbsnews.com/news/democrats…
If Howard Dean reclaims Vermont's governorship after 22 years away, he still wouldn't have the gap between two longest stints as a state governor. That honor belongs to West Virginia Republican Cecil Underwood, who returned in 1997 36 years after leaving.

Thought you were done with Primaries? PA+CA, and critical House seats that could help flip it back to D. Detailed analysis from @kkondik for @LarrySabato @Center4Politics Grudge match: Scott Perry (R, PA-10) Notes on the State of Politics: April 24, 2024 centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/no…
#PAPol: The #PA10 primary saw a total $640K in ad spending. Dem group House Majority PAC has already reserved $2.4M in the Harrisburg market for this fall. PA-10 2020 general: 🔵$7.4M 🔴$6.0M PA-10 2022 general: 🔴$1.2M 🔵$156K
Crystal Ball -- House rating change in PENNSYLVANIA Scott Perry (R, PA-10) Likely R to Leans R Plus details on the PA House primaries and a look at the finally finalized CA top-two results: centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/no…
Remember that a quirk of the PA primary ballot is that candidates' home counties are listed, so it can contribute to some notable regional divides in voting

For presidential candidates who are not the Republican or Democratic Party nominee, getting on the ballot is a state-by-state, make-or-break scramble. Here are the states where each third-party and independent candidates are on the general election ballot. nyti.ms/3ways4d
Thank you to @kkondik, @ChazNuttycombe, @lxeagle17, and @nathanlgonzales for letting me interview for this series of articles!
@omnius_eacc @burny_tech It isn’t that voters are becoming more authoritarian in response to frustration with the system - voters are actually a lot less authoritarian then they were 20 years ago! What’s changed is that the masses have been able to recapture agenda control that was taken from them after…
Look what came in the mail! _I’m Here to Ask for Your Vote_ by @ProfDevine. I’ve already read it in draft form and HIGHLY recommend it. If you’re interested in presidential campaigns you should read this book.
@CitizenCabe @kkondik Philip Francis Thomas, a Congresscritter from Maryland, holds the current record with a 34 year gap (1838 to 1874)
@kkondik I really appreciated the write-up on this, esp. the point about Gallego being less dependent on a big crossover vote than Tester/Brown -- it was a helpful way to think about the map more broadly.
Another competitive state slipping away from Republicans due to political malpractice and ineptitude. Arizona elections aren’t being stolen — they’re being given away.

@kkondik Agree. I do think Dems have good candidates in both places — if they raise enough money & abortion politics continue to trend bad for Rs, I could see these moving to “lean R” — but I imagine it would take something of a Trump collapse for Ds to win. We’ll see if Ds play offense.
Fitzpatrick's campaign responded: "This lame attempt to prop up Mark Houck … shows just how desperate [Democrats] are to force their extreme policies on Bucks and Montgomery County voters." politico.com/live-updates/2…
Looking at our historical polling averages, major third-party presidential candidates have typically lost about 40% of their support between April and Nov. That would put Kennedy in mid single digits — likely too low for any Electoral Votes, but large enough to play spoiler
Very quietly, RFK Jr.’s average vote share in national polls has been shrinking in since he announced his independent bid in October: Oct: 13.2% Nov: 13.5% Dec: 11.2% Jan: 9.7% Feb: 11.3% Mar: 9.9% Apr (so far): 8.0%
@bpmehlman @kkondik Old news at this point, but the VA-WV flip is interesting to see visually!
O.J. was acquitted of murder but was later found liable for it in a civil trial. So does that make him a murderer? The parallel here is Trump, found responsible for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll in a civil case but never convicted in a criminal trial.
