Once again, pundits would have you believe the race between Mazi Pilip and Tom Suozzi is a toss up; it's not. Tom Suozzi will win by 3+ points.

Folks in the media want you to ignore all the wins, the actual votes from voters, but instead believe the pundits and polls that have been consistently wrong since 2016. Democrats should never get complacent, but Democrats aren't "in trouble."

Democrats just flipped a seat in Florida, but folks in the media and pundits would have you believe enthusiasm is down and Biden is hurting Democrats. How many special elections must Democrats win before people face the reality that the polls and pundits are just wrong.
