I know this is kind of ridiculous but Alsobrooks winning (and not that far off from my prediction *ahem*) but I feel more confident that Biden will in November and outperform polls in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan atleast.
Moore’s 2022 upset, Biden’s massive over performance in South Carolina in 2020, and now Alsobrooks shows a pattern that pollsters haven’t figured out how to accurately poll in largely black communities.
I don't think this is the correct read. If it means anything for the presidential race (it probably doesn't), it would be that Trone's money advantage and absolute dominance on the airwaves didn't matter.
Nah, I think the correct read is that money can't solve all your problems. It can help, but if you're unlikable like Trone and don't have the institutional support/endorsements that Alsobrooks had, then yeah. But Biden doesn't have those issues.
Honestly the only thing Trone really had going for him was money and he still got 40%+ of the vote, so money still does matter. Basically every major Dem in the state was against him lol
If you look at this way, Alsobrooks basically had to assemble the Avengers of Maryland to be able to win this by the end. She had to pull out every stop she could - or else there was a chance she could lose simply bc Trone had $$
