Lenny Bronner

Mary, what were you gonna say?

Yeah, I was gonna say, you know, I go back to, um, Lenny Bronner's piece from earlier in the cycle we've talked about on the podcast before about how it's a little unclear if this special election overperformance is going to continue to be a useful predictor simply because we have seen Democrats become the, like, higher turnout, higher propensity voters, or maybe the other way around, right? Higher turnout, higher propensity voters have become Democrats.

Um, and so, like, we are consistently seeing that Democratic overperformance in specials that may not necessarily coincide with general elections, like, like you mentioned in twenty twenty-four, Nathaniel.

So I, like, I am still treating special elections with a bit of caution as an indicator simply because I think we are in a new, a new environment with new emerging coalitions that may complicate that, um, but we shall see.
