It really was a rainbow wave (and blue, of course)

It’s been noted numerous times how diverse the newly elected freshman Democratic congressional contingent is, but this really demonstrates it.

Will Jordan, a researcher and pollster for GlobalStrategyGroup, put together this handy visual, accompanied by some eye-popping statistics.

Genuinely wild to compare the demographics of Democrats who flipped seats in the 2006 wave vs. the 2018 wave.

…in 2006
– 3% POC
– 13% Women
– 23% Under 45
– 83% White men

…in 2018
– 21% POC
– 68% Women
– 53% Under 45
– 24% White Men pic.twitter.com/HlfkBS21EK
