This year’s presidential race looks certain to be won or lost in a handful of swing states where neither party has a clear advantage.
But that is not the case for Congress.
Nicholas Fandos, who covers politics for The Times, explains why control of the House is likely to hinge on what happens in two deeply blue states where Democrats run the show.

I’m going to guess. The failed states of New York and California. Hochul and Newsom. Nuff said!
Their GDP says different those 2 states control the US GDP figure 2 tracks California’s and New York’s annual real gross domestic product for the period 2017-2023 to illustrate real gross domestic product patterns over time. During this 7-year period, California’s real gross domestic product rose from $2,741B in 2017 to $3,233B in 2023, for a net gain of $493B, or 17.97%. In comparison, New York’s real GDP increased from $1,625B in 2017 to $1,776B in 2023, for a net advance of $151B, or 9.29%. California’s real GDP ranked 1st among the 51 states in 2023, New York’s ranked 3rd.
Anyone else finding this deeply problematic? Giving so much grace to someone who apologized wearing Maga without any humility? Acting like that is a big deal? Talking about how queer people used to be persecuted? This man seems so far removed from reality. I am shocked to hear some of the stuff that is coming out of his mouth.
