Their own operatives admit it: Democrats are overperforming Trump’s 2024 numbers by 10 points or more across state races. That’s not a blip. That’s a pattern. In 20 special elections this year alone, Democrats are averaging 10.5 points ahead of Harris’ 2024 baseline. Last year it was nearly 14 points ahead in 67 legislative races. That’s not “low turnout noise.” That’s energy.

Look at the receipts.

In Texas, Democrat Taylor Rehmet won a state Senate seat by 14 points… in a district Trump carried by 17. In Louisiana, Chasity Verret Martinez won by 24 points in a district Trump had taken by 13. In Oklahoma, a Republican held a seat… but by 28 points instead of Trump’s 58. When your “safe” districts are shrinking by 30 points, that’s not comfort. That’s erosion.

Meanwhile, polling tells the same story. YouGov/Economist shows Trump’s immigration approval collapsing from +11 to -11. His economic rating has plunged from +12 to -23. That’s a 35-point swing on the economy. Voters don’t swing like that because they’re bored. They swing like that because something isn’t working.

And here’s the part that should rattle every Republican strategist awake at 3 a.m.: he’s losing young men, Hispanics, and non-college voters — the very coalition that carried him in 2024. When your base starts leaking, midterms get dangerous fast.

Two GOP strategists are already admitting the Senate is no longer “almost guaranteed.” Translation: the red wall is cracking.

This isn’t about vibes. It’s about turnout math. A fired-up Democratic base plus a sleepy GOP base equals flipped seats. That’s arithmetic, not ideology.

History lesson… special elections often foreshadow midterms. Ask anyone who watched 2006 or 2018 unfold. Energy shows up early.

The takeaway is simple. Democracy rewards participation. When one side organizes and the other side shrugs, margins collapse. And when margins collapse, power changes hands.

Momentum is real. Enthusiasm is measurable. And elections… unlike speeches on Air Force One… have consequences. 🇺🇸🔥
