But Harrison in SC? Boillier in Kansas? Bullock in MT? We should have captured at least a few of those tossup races, and we got all but swept. I’m still hopeful that the GA runoffs will go our way - but if not for Georgia’s runoff system, let’s not forget we’d have lost those seats, too. (Assuming that in the absence of a runoff, there’d have been primaries, that Loeffler would have defeated Collins in a GOP primary, and that the votes that went to both Loeffler and Collins in the runoff would have coalesced behind Loeffler on election day to defeat Warnock.)

James Clyburn has said that “Defund the Police” is what cost Harrison the race.

I also think too many Dems were talking too aggressively, and too publicly, about expanding the court, about DC and PR statehood…

maybe Nancy was right — focus on health care, minimum wage, and corruption (lack of oversight on the PPP program, insider trading, firing the IG’s, etc).
