How are you feeling this election eve?

The tension is real

Hi all!

We’re now less than 24 hours until the first election results begin to roll in, and I’ve got to say, I’m more nervous for this election than I’ve been in a long time. Obviously, that’s in part because Democrats are trailing in the polls ahead of Election Day, whereas in 2016 and 2020 the disappointment came as a shock due to flawed polling. But it’s also a matter of stakes — once again, democracy, freedom, and the health of millions of Americans ride on these elections.

I want to know how you feel about it all, what you’re predicting, and what you’ll be watching come tomorrow, so join us in the chat! I’ve opened it up to all subscribers, given the enormity of tomorrow’s election and the importance of having people to talk with about it.
