Serduchka
won the USVI apparently.

There is no sugarcoating this because surely, someone out there is keeping count as they read. It's winner-take-all, and Negarir is less than 51 delegates from clinching. Abbott needs this to stay in the game.

Is not being revealed today!!!! Hahahaha yeah it's come down to the very last state, so who knows if Serduchka clinched or not! You'll find out all at the convention.
idk how it happened, truly
i don't even know if i wanna Count this since my doing well so far is so clearly predicated on reck dropping when he did (thank's bud)
6 days until Washington D.C. (Democratic)
40 days until the Republican Convention
47 days until the Democratic Convention
153 days until the Presidential Election
As a warning: there's a bit of lag before the events of Tuesday will set in. Abbott has lost, but he'll have set in motion advertisements beforehand just in case he managed to contest the convention. Those will finish over the next week, and show up in any case. And so it goes.
Headlines
The papers are released each day in the morning, and describe what happened the previous day. The first day of the cycle is a Wednesday, and the last a Tuesday, but the first newspapers are Thursday's, and the last Wednesday's.
Wednesday's papers:
Negarir
is the Republican nominee. This is obviously front page news. His sweep of the five states is also there, although, tbh, who cares when it's next to the whole nominee thing.
Thursday:
Shocking stuff as
Spire
manages to cut TWO!!! terrible attack ads in the same day. But he's on Maddow to compensate. Life is not easier as an actual general election candidate for
Negarir
: if anything, it just means more protests.

had a surprisingly strong run, and it wouldn't have been silly to think that he could take the whole thing. But since that initial big month,
Abbott
settled into always coming second, and never quite picking up enough support, and the writing was on the wall. Not even being able to make California matter was the final nail in the coffin. Apart from not having the delegates.
But it was a strong month.
Abbott
won every single early contest: Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina. The last was in a nailbiter against
Mothma
, and the Republican nominee,
Negarir
didn't even make double digits. But, that's what happens when six candidates enter. And once two candidates leave, the bigger coalition wins. That coalition was not
Abbott
's.
Abbott
lived like
Reckoner
did, except that the latter never had the advantage of a fractured field to start building on delegates. Once the field narrowed, though,
Abbott
turned out just like
Reckoner
: a factional candidate, polling around 30%, never higher, and sometimes lower. It was not for want of endorsements--and
Abbott
had many--or money--because
Abbott
was loaded--but voters. Some wanted
Abbott
. More didn't.
Negarir
is the Republican nominee. He inherits the Republican machine, and all its excesses. He's down in the polls, but if a conservative vision will visit this country, he's the last shot Republicans have.

Spire
drops some ads trying to cover up this attack ad nonsense, while
Negarir
just keeps on doing interviews, except this time more spicy because he's actually legit now.

looked like he had everything sorted: good debate performances, personable manner, a strong campaign team, the whole works. And yet it never seemed to quite come together. Who knows what did him in. Momentum is difficult to overcome, though, and something about
Serduchka
managed to get the undecideds in her corner.
Spire
never managed that. While voters would abandon their suspended candidates for one of the big two, time and time again
Spire
would see his numbers drop despite it all. Something just didn't get the voters in his corner.
Spire
did well however, and it was certainly possible to conceive him winning a contested convention while
Reckoner
remained in. His numbers, however, just didn't rise to where they needed to be. It would be risky to call
Spire
a factional candidate, but that's how his candidacy behaved: attracting some voters, and never any more.
Spire
was rich, and
Spire
was likable, and
Spire
's campaign was smart, but sometimes, you get screwed over. This appears to be one of those times. In another go, in another circumstance,
Spire
could've done extremely well, but the only reason it seems he lost this time is "because".
Serduchka
is now the Democratic nominee. She leads the polls, but a lot of people have led the polls. She also needs to win, and after two Democratic terms, a third might be a big ask.
