Considering AIPAC et al spent $60 million on Stevens’ race, while El-Sayed’s campaign raised and spent only $3.5 million by comparison, I’m going to say the fact that Abdul still won does in fact constitute a blowout. FU AIPAC.

The same goes for anywhere an establishment dem beat the more left candidate in the primary. Maga republicans cannot be allowed to win or hold seats, and that means supporting whoever wins the primary against them.

I have hope that our governor will stay blue though.

1.5million voted blue vs 800ish thousand.
