Is a blue wave coming in 2026? If the polling for the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court race is any indicator, trouble is brewing for Republicans, argues Lakshya Jain, The Argument’s director of political data.
He joined Split Ticket’s Armin Thomas and VoteHub’s Zachary Donnini on Wednesday to discuss the Democratic party’s resurgence among non-college educated voters.
“With non-college whites, this is probably the best that the Democratic Party has looked in, you know, since the Obama years, 2014 maybe,” said Lakshya.
The guys also turned their attention to Florida: “A win for Democrats in Florida is to make Republicans sweat and send some money there,” suggested Zachary.
Notably, many of the Florida Republican nominees are under-performers: “In this one strip across Central Florida, you have two really bad Republicans, two really good Democrats and Anna Paulina Luna… she’s weak.”
