Trump & Republicans Didn’t Just LOSE This Election… They Beat THEMSELVES | Super Tuesdays Politics

Chuck Todd’s MVP of the midterms is John Roberts. In the first Super Tuesday after Democrats swept the House, the Senate and a majority of governorships, Chuck and Chris Cillizza go straight to superlatives — five best-run campaigns, five worst, five most overrated ideas, five biggest ironies — and the thread through all of them is that Republicans beat themselves. Mid-decade redistricting is Chuck’s worst campaign of the cycle: maps drawn off Trump’s 2024 numbers blew up in South Texas and South Florida, while the Court’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act helped produce what may be the largest Black midterm turnout on record. Plus the best-run campaign nobody mentioned on election night, the case that polling isn’t broken (paying for polling is), why Trump’s voters showed up and declined to vote Republican, what Stephen Miller replacing Susie Wiles means for the next two years, and a personal account of Miami’s loss at Notre Dame.
