My Hot Take: Ms. Lewis has his work cut out for him. The Post does great political coverage and very good foodie coverage. But it's lagging in other areas. It needs to evolve.

We are learning tonight that these polls are very shitty. The Polling Industry needs a complete overhaul. They keep missing the voters who determine elections. Its like they poll to prove a theory instead of giving an accurate picture. They're credibility is low.

Hottest Take of Election 2023: 11.7.23

Dems way over performed and had an outstanding night across the Nation. Biden will look to build on this. And focus laser like on the issues. Probably not a good thing for Republicans that Johnson is the Speaker and the Shit Show is their frontrunner.
