At the Races: Spring fever - Roll Call

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

71% : Campaign pledge fulfilled: Trump signed an executive order last week directing Education Secretary Linda McMahon to start dismantling the U.S. Department of Education, making good on a campaign promise.
54% : Democrats' win in a district that voted for Donald Trump by 15 points in November comes on the heels of other examples of Democratic overperformance in down-ballot special elections this year, including in Iowa and Virginia.
50% : In Wisconsin, voters will decide on their pivotal Supreme Court race, as well as one for superintendent of public instruction and a ballot measure that would add a voter ID requirement to the state constitution.
46% : The ads, which highlight their support for Medicare and Medicaid, come as Democrats have argued that Republicans plan to cut Medicaid funding as part of their reconciliation package.
43% : Meanwhile, Trump's decision today to withdraw New York Rep. Elise Stefanik's nomination to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations effectively calls off a special election to succeed her in upstate New York that has been taking shape over the past few months.
