Jack, if you subscribe to the Daily Kos Recommended email—a daily round-up of the hottest stories on Daily Kos—then you'd have seen this preview of Tuesday's elections, which was the top story in Tuesday's newsletter:
I think I know why people were so eager to read this story this week: There's a critical need for downballot elections news.
I'll explain more in a second, but first I have to ask: We're eight months out from the election. Can you donate $8 right now to support the critical downballot election news that the Daily Kos Elections team delivers each and every day?
PLEASE DONATE
It's an election year, but if you were to peruse the elections sections of traditional news outlets like the New York Times or Washington Post, you'd find story after story after story about President Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Stories about the 34 U.S. Senate elections or races for the House are few and far between. Stories about other statewide offices, like state attorney general, or state legislature? Forget about it. This sad state of affairs is even worse on cable news.
Just because these elections are often overlooked doesn't mean they're unimportant—far from it. You know what's at stake in the House and Senate this year, where Republicans and Democrats are defending razor-thin majorities, respectively, but state offices have taken on new importance in recent years. It largely fell to state officials, like the justices on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, to block Trump's attempts to steal the 2020 election, but good luck finding stories about elections for that very court before 2020.
That's where Daily Kos Elections comes in. We specialize in covering the downballot elections that too often get ignored. It takes a lot of work, but we have the smartest, most dedicated team of election nerds on the internet to bring you the most comprehensive coverage possible. Check out Daily Kos Elections yourself if you don't believe us!
We're barrelling towards the November elections, and all the traditional news media can talk about is Biden v. Trump 2.0. Daily Kos Elections is here to bring you more. Please support our work with an $8 donation today.

Thank you,
David Nir, Political Director
