I can’t wait for this thing to be over, I’m exhausted. I hope Dems win by a landslide, retake the House and keep the Senate, so Harris will have a strong mandate in the first two years. And hopefully Putin’s lapdog will be sent away for a long time, so we don’t have to suffer his stupidity anymore.

I would die laughing if somehow Harris takes Alaska.
There has been some crazy things happening there. The senate seat looks gettable for the democrats too.

Bro what is going on in Alaska? I know mayoral races aren’t always the most politicized, but with Peltola winning (and leading in the polls currently last time I checked) in 21/22, what’s going on there? Does Peltola transcend political affiliation in her popularity, or is there a legitimate shift? Anybody from Alaska have insight?

looks like a democrat just flipped a mayor’s seat in a spot trump won by over 10 points talk about an upset! it’s like finding out your dog secretly prefers the cat food the whole town’s probably thinking “did that just happen?”

This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.newsweek.com/democrats-flip-mayors-seat-alaska-narrow-margin-1966704) reduced by 87%. (I’m a bot)

> The Alaskan borough is in the traditionally red state, which favored Trump by 10 points in 2020, as the presidential nominee secured 52.8 percent of the vote to Biden's 42.8 percent.
> In 2020, Trump carried those six districts with a 15-point lead, receiving 57.8 percent of the vote compared to Biden's 42.2 percent.
> An Alaska Survey Research poll of 1,182 likely voters conducted from September 27 to September 29 found 52 percent of voters backing Trump and 43 percent supporting Harris.

Republicans made their bed. They can sleep in it.
Wow
Ok. This has nothing to do with anything. Does AK have Teslas and Camrys hybrids? And do they perform?
TIL that Alaska has boroughs. I always assumed that was an NYC thing.
