The Fight Against Trump Is Now A National One, Dems Win Specials in IA and MN, Keep Making Calls All

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Good morning all. Last night we flipped a state Senate seat in Iowa that few thought we could win, and we won a special in the MN senate that gave us the majority in that chamber once again. Both of our candidates dramatically overperformed 2024:

In Iowa our candidate won 52%-48% in a district Trump carried by 21 points in November. It’s a 25 point overperformance.

In Minnesota our candidate won 91%-9% in a district Harris carried 83%-14%. It’s a 14 point overperformance.

While it is still early, and these are only two mid-winter specials, we take and celebrate the wins when they come here at Hopium and these were good and encouraging wins. Coupled with that new Reuters polling showing Trump losing 9 points in job approval in just one week we are reminded that our work does matter, and that we can beat MAGA - as we did throughout 2018, 2020, 2022 and into early 2024, and as we did in critical downballot races last November. We cannot give up and need to keep fighting.

1. A Good Early Sign

These elections are like a barometer. It tells us what the mood is in Iowa and Minnesota. Hopefully we survive until 2026 and get a another Blue Wave in the midterms. It will take a lot of tenacity, hope, and work, but it could happen.
