Does anyone have any info on what the unions in the District have been doing in the election/the importance of the the various unions?

I saw that Lamb did a big event yesterday with the President of the Miners Union, and seems to be banking on their support. The Trump era has really seem to brought them back into prominence (after the Democrats ran away from them during the Bush years)

He's ignoring the polls and the fact Lamb outraised Saccone by nearly 500%. What a hack.

Whatever the result, I just hope it's on the mark.
I would hate for it to show Lamb up a couple of points, shifting the BREAKING NEWS narrative and causing the Blitzer's and Cizilla's to go into TITANIUM D mode, only for him to narrowly lose tomorrow. It's obvious that a narrow loss has the same implications as a narrow Lamb win, but a loss would lead to a deluge of THE WAVE IS DEAD hottakes, that could damage fundraising and morale for rural dem candidates like Ojeda.

I hate that the media has done such a poor job of setting expectations. It's a Trump +20 district, ffs.

Exactly. I can just imagine the CNN roundtable discussions in November.
"So Chris, you say the midterms were disappointing for the Democrats?"
"Welll yes Wolf, some polling suggested a 50 seat advantage in the house and a 52-48 split in the senate, so it's frankly embarrassing that they ended up with a 10 seat majority and a 51 seat majority. If this holds up, Trump is a lock for re-election."

I imagine that the Democrats would be quite happy with that outcome regardless of how CNN might spin it.

Absolutely, and the sweet irony of Trump being put in a similar position Obama was would be the icing on the cake.

Oh hands down,  it would an amazing night. It's just that the cognitive dissonance is exasperating.

New Monmouth poll: Dem Conor Lamb leads in all turnout models.

With turnout similar to special elections over the last year: Lamb leads 51-45

With turnout similar to past midterms: Lamb leads 49-47

With turnout high across the board: Lamb leads 51-44

Looks like Republicans aren't trying to fake set expectations

Predictit is now pricing Lamb at 64c a pound

I am ecstatic! Of course it's just a poll and not the actual Election Day results, but the momentum has been with Conor for the past couple of weeks and I cannot imagine how Saccone will win now.
