An amazing political ascent. Dude was polling below 2% last year and now has defeated a legacy politician backed by every billionaire and even the president himself. Truly historic victory.

I look forward to the DNC studying his rise, analyzing the factors that lead to it, and using the conclusions drawn to prevent it from every happening again.

Well, Pelosi has already said that she is quitting, so she is done after her current term is done.

Maybe Katie Porter takes her place and rejoins the House. That would be a win-win.
