Update: Polls closed! 60,277 votes. Analysis tomorrow.
Hi, all. Remember that thing called the “presidential primary”? It was a thing that was dominating the political discussion until Donald Trump decided to publicly confess to high crimes and misdemeanors.
Who would’ve thought that a presidential primary straw poll would serve as a distraction from the day’s big news? But here we are, watching Republicans try to shoot the messenger rather than admit that, yeah, that message their president delivered to the president of Ukraine is an f’n disgrace. So anyway, feel free to tear yourself away from impeachment news (hard, I know!) to cast your presidential preference vote.
The poll will close at 5 PM PT/8 PM ET. Only candidates who have made the DNC debate cut are included.
