It's been two years since I was discharged from a nearly month-long hospitalization after a frightening and life-threatening medical scare brought a whole new meaning to spooky season. 🧵🎃🫁

“There is tremendous dissatisfaction with the direction of our country, and Democrats have an opportunity to lead the course correction.” @RepScottHolcomb, a military veteran, added: “I have not seen a bloodbath like this since I was deployed more than two decades ago.” ajc.com/politics/2026/11/a-b…

Georgia Democrats have swept the statewide races. They won the Senate. They won governor. They won secretary of state. They won attorney general. They won labor commissioner. They won school superintendent. They won the public service commission. They also won the state House. All flips, except the U.S. Senate race.

Domestic workers have shown up cycle after cycle to champion a Democratic governor in Georgia who will prioritize care and fight for a living wage for care workers.
Congratulations to @keishabottoms, Georgia’s next Governor! Keisha Lance Bottoms will make history as the first Black, female governor of Georgia and the first Black woman to serve as governor of any U.S. state! She is a champion of care who is ready to lead. #CareWins

Health care costs have been a huge issue for voters. Sending a Democratic doctor to the Senate would be a big deal as health care is expected to be a significant issue next year and in 2028. Also, notable that SC is a non-Med expansion state.
Andrews’ election would mean there’s a Democratic physician in the Senate for the first time since 1969

Roy Cooper led the fight to expand Medicaid in North Carolina. He will fight to reverse Trump’s Medicaid cuts in the Senate and against future GOP efforts to rip health care coverage from working families, small business owners, disabled Americans, and seniors.
First Dem flip in the Senate --> WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Roy Cooper wins election to U.S. Senate from North Carolina.

If Dems take Congress expect positioning on health care for 2028, forcing vetoes, “maybe” a deal on ACA tax credits and small bipartisan stuff. More will be hard including reversing Medicaid work requirements or provider cuts. But Trump, ever transactional, can always surprise.

Nobody warned us two years ago what the election could cost our community. If you haven't voted yet, go. Then call three people who haven't. Vote411.org has info if you need it.
