Here, looking at where Solomon or McGreevey did versus their topline performance, We find that Solomon did best with progressive voters in Ward E, as well as voters who lived on the path of the PATH or the HBLR, in addition to the neighborhoods of Bergen Hill and St. Pete.

McGreevey did best with Asian/Townies in Ward D, Townies in Ward A, Pakistanis, & the black vote
Ofc he lost all of them by differing margins due to the 2:1 belt to ass Solomon gave him

Fun fact: Mussab Ali’s base in Precinct C-13 (the most Pakistani precinct) was one of the few precinct to vote for Jim McGreevey
this is what im referring to:
according to somebody on r/jerseycity, mussab ali is planning to run against rob menendez in NJ-08 next year
and he was very loudly trying to convince frank gilmore to endorse him

mikie sherrill illuminates a big problem of james solomon not having a bluesky account
Congratulations to James Solomon and @hobokenemily.bsky.social on their hard fought victories! I’m looking forward to working with them to deliver a better and more affordable future for New Jerseyans in Jersey City and Hoboken.

A recap of tonight's special election in TN-07 (plus a WAY-TOO-EARLY model of the 2026 midterms).
A swing of 13 points would put Dems over 250 seats in the U.S. House. A more reasonable scenario—say, D+6—still gives them the House, and maybe the Senate.

What the special election in Tennessee's Seventh District means for the 2026 midterms
Republicans held a Trump +22 seat — but by only 9 points. A swing half as large would give Democrats the U.S. House in 2026, and put the Senate clearly in play

Sorry, I’m not doing moderate vs prog discourse tonight. Behn won the primary with 27%. If you can’t figure out how to beat that, it’s on you.

For additional context here, these are the relative turnout levels of each of the congressional special elections we've had this year
This race got super nationalized - relative turnout ended up being huge
But to me, that makes this the most encouraging special for Ds so far

behn's performance is quite impressive given the turnout, like you can't really wave this off as a "low turnout special"

aftyn behn is putting up a better overperformance that susan crawford in 2025 SCOWIS in a similar turnout environment, when are we getting articles about how crawford is too radical
Everyone has their beats when it comes to politics. For example, I try to tie everything to state legislative elections.
I'm just glad my beat isn't trying to dunk on progressives and promoting an ideology that's rapidly dying because being milquetoast in 2025 is lame as hell

4. both solomon's and o'dea's chances of winning the mayorlty are a lot higher than mcgreevey's right now
even if mcgreevey wins a plurality in the first round due to the forces against him being divided, the anti-mcgreevey forces will likely consolidate around his opponent in the runoff

probably the most left-leaning council/mayor JC has ever seen, and it's not even close
the eternal anti-machine progressive james solomon is winning by a supermajority rn, and it actually seems like his biggest bloc of critics may be to his left with the DSA members brooks/ephros

14% swing from 2024 when all is said and done? Pretty good considering just how high-profile the race became in the last week
Turnout is currently *93%* of 2022, and it's also a 14% swing from 2022 despite similar turnout levels
