Biggest Winners of 2022 Midterms:

- Women - w/highest number of women running for office than ever before

- Youth - motivated by #RoeVWade they turned out in the highest numbers to vote in an election - Young people helped Dems be competitive in several key states like AZ, PA, MI, & GA

2) After EM's Nazi tweet yesterday, activity on #Twitter went through the roof and he posted the tweets below.
