They are running out of high propensity GOP voters, indies are breaking away from them and time is running out. In 2024 with a worst environment for Dems we won independent voters. Dems are going to do better than I did with Indie voters this year.

The Trump Vance campaign ran Spanish commercials in 2024. All GOP campaign groups are spending money on Spanish media. Bunch of hypocrites.
JD Vance whines about translators in hospitals and says, "how about if everyone just spoke English?"

.@Katy4Congress is running to protect our families and veterans. Brandon Herrera is a real SOB cosplaying as some macho tough guy while marching to Nazi steps and mocking veterans’ mental health. You know what to do, TX-23. Let’s elect Katy Padilla Stout. IWillVote.com – at San Antonio, TX

Infrequent dem voters starting to come out. One more ballot drop like this in Maricopa and the Republicans are gonna have to start coming up with their conspiracy theories of how they lost 2026.
Overall, not the best drop today for Republicans in Maricopa County... After a few days of R+ drops, Dems lead today's D+1.2. In the main seat that matters for Congress, #AZ01, Republicans lead R+5.5 Republicans lead overall R+0.9 I voted yesterday, have you? #ChaseEveryVote

Very little change in the topline number as the Republican ballot lead stays at ~12k as we are now up to 1.435M ballots returned in AZ. Today was the biggest day for 0/3 and 1/3s yet, where Dems continue to expand their return rate leads.

There is something incredibly interesting happening right now in Democratic politics and it’s how men connect masculinity to fatherhood. It cuts through our politics’ harshness and the idea that masculinity is all bulging biceps. I wrote about that here: washingtonpost.com/politics/…

Well, well, look at that more Dems returned their ballots than Republicans. Great drop Dems!
Replying to @Data_Orbital
Maricopa's latest update added 43,034 Democratic returns and 41,641 Republican returns, narrowing the Republican ballot advantage. Among 4/4 voters, 70.2% of Democratic issued ballots are back, versus 63.1% for Republicans. Turnout and voting history, side by side.

This election is about the people versus a handful of billionaires. It’s about securing the American Dream. And that’s exactly why @GinaHinojosaTX is about to be the next governor of Texas.

Another great update for Dems. Dems are turning out more low propensity Dem voters than Republicans. Steady as she goes and Dems will have a solid victory Tuesday.
Replying to @Data_Orbital
Voting history adds another view of Arizona's electorate. 913,378 returns come from voters who participated in all four prior general elections. Another 173,925 come from voters with zero or one. The turnout comparison and voting-history breakdown:

More terrorism in the West Bank today, with impunity as always.
🚨 TODAY: Settler-terrorists attacked Andrey, Jasper and me. This video shows the assault. Andrey was severely beaten and lost consciousness several times in front of police. Despite this, he was denied hospital treatment. He was put in an ambulance—but instead of being taken to hospital, he was taken to a police station. He is still there, arrested and being denied medical care. Jasper and I were also beaten. Jasper was then pepper-sprayed and arrested.

This is exactly why I’m campaigning with @GinaHinojosaTX and @katy4congress in Texas today. Trump and his allies are looking out for themselves. November 3, we need to elect leaders who give a damn about you. nitter.cf/Acyn/status/2114153893…
TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.
