🔮 Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) said the Justice Department’s investigation into his wife won’t make him any less likely to run for president in 2028, and suggested it might even harden his resolve.
🔮 But nonpartisan election forecasters believe that edge has eroded as the political environment has worsened for Republicans, a finding supported by the sheer amount of spending in the district.
🔮 Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) is ignoring the political baggage that comes with her alliance with the Left, betting there is even greater upside in tapping into the grassroots enthusiasm she hopes will buoy her reelection campaign.
🔮 Johnson will travel to 40 more districts between now and Election Day and has competitive races in four other states — Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Iowa — on his itinerary for this week alone.
🔮 Tillis unpacks the drama and internal conflict that made those votes difficult, acknowledging that he spent the hours before Hegseth’s confirmation searching for a “smoking gun that would pry more votes away from him.”
🔮 Only one thing could put a damper on a good election night for Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY): the arrival of Senate nominees who, if successful in November, have vowed to oppose him as Democratic leader.
🔮 It would not apply to the executive branch and would allow lawmakers to keep their existing investments, but it would place restrictions on the sale of those investments and bar them from trading individual stocks.
🔮 Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Susan Collins (R-ME) told reporters on Monday she would once again try to curb the Trump administration on spending following Trump’s rescission and that appropriators are looking into blocking “pocket rescissions” in the next spending bill.
🔮 Chief of staff Katie Brown said that “Senator Collins and her staff will not be intimidated” after her office in Biddeford, one of six in the state, was spray-painted with the message “Trump wh***.”
🔮 But he credits the demand, at least in part, to his willingness to dish out hard truths that Republicans can’t escape blame for Americans’ anxieties about affordability.
