The Green Party is gaining support from disillusioned voters previously aligned with Reform UK and Labour.
The big picture: In key Congressional and state-level races this year, voters moved sharply to the left compared to last year's presidential election. In some races, the pendulum swung by double digits. Zoom in: Earlier this month, Trump-backed Republican Matt Van Epps defeated a progressive Democrat to represent a conservative Nashville-area district by nine points. That's a far narrower victory than Trump's 22-point win in the district last year. The narrower margin of victory also paralleled closer-than-expected results in Florida's special House elections earlier this year.
