November 15, 2019A Late-Starting Presidential Campaign May Not Be Hopeless By Michael Barone
Michael Bloomberg has delivered his latest delicious hint about running for president. Former Attorney General Eric Holder is fresh from taking credit for the new Democratic legislative majorities in Virginia, making it known he might be interested. And former Gov.

November 14, 2019Medicare for All a Vote Loser in 2018 U.S. House Elections By Alan I. Abramowitz
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE— “Medicare for All” has been a major issue in the Democratic primary race. But it also came up a lot in the 2018 cycle.
— A regression analysis comparing the performance of 2018 Democratic House candidates shows that those who supported Medicare for All performed worse than those who did not, even when controlling for other factors.
— Democratic presidential candidates would do well to take heed of these results, particularly as the eventual nominee determines what he or she wishes to emphasize in the general election.
