After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

Reminder that this is a winning position, and people support it

one last observation: donald trump has never won a majority of the vote and yet the political press treats him like the embodied spirit of the american people. will be interesting to see how they discount mamdani as representing new york if he wins less than a majority.
