National Democrats are deliberately and shamefully ignoring this race. When she loses by 40,000 votes, they’re going to feel pretty dumb.
Joy Reid says Angie Nixon is like Michelle Obama: "Everyone can relate to her story. Her story is America's story" Marlon A. Hill: She is driving the energy in Florida right now. This past weekend she basically took the oxygen out of the room at a fundraiser. Angie has a much broader coalition that is way off the radar screen. Danielle Moodie: More people are gravitating towards her because of the level of authenticity and integrity. She is standing 10 toes down on issues that many establishment Democrats have been running away from. She is facing these storms head on.

Weird thing to say when you’ve never done a town hall, nor answered any of my emails or phone calls with a response. Sit this one out, bud.
Weird thing to post when you haven’t accepted a debate…

Please campaign with Trump, Ashley

He’s going to retire after the election and Kim will appoint his grandson
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on whether he’d seek another term in office “At 93 years of age, I don't know how many more groups of Republicans like this I'm going to have a chance to talk to. … One of the reasons I'm worried about who's going to be elected governor [is] I don't plan on dying in office, but if I did, I don't want a Democrat governor choosing my successor.” H/t: @natsfert

My hottest midterm take is that Dems win one of KS, MS, AR, LA, or SC.

Guys, Angie Nixon can win Florida
No president has ever gone into a midterm election as unpopular as Trump is today. Not even George W. Bush in 2006. Trump's net approval is twice as low as it was at this point in 2018. blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/no-…

STG going hard in the paint
What is Zach Nunn's record on the Epstein Files? He took $50,000 in campaign contributions from billionaires named in the files, then voted to keep them hidden from the public.

“We need the president out on the stump asap.” —this needs a laugh track
Yesterday, Iowa House Republicans were informed by their own pollsters that if you are in a +15 district you’re within the margin for error, if you’re in a +10 district you’re underwater, and that this might end being an even worse midterm environment than 2006. I slept on whether to share this publicly, because I don’t want to cause anyone to black pill. But this morning I ultimately decided the truth should be shared while there is still six weeks left to do something about it for the good of the country. Because if the environment is this bad in my home state, where Trump has been the most popular political figure over the last decade, I can’t imagine where it is everywhere else. Whatever we’re doing or not doing in Iran/Hormuz has become a 2020 Covid lockdown level of political albatross. This is approaching TARP bailout levels of unpopular in my home state. We are risking what’s left of the Trump presidency on this, because if Democrats take control the legislative branch the Trump domestic agenda we all voted for will largely cease between what a Democrat Congress will do and the courts have already been doing. Not to mention what it will cost individual states like my own, which we have worked so hard to make so red these last 20 years (with Trump’s help). This whatever/kinda/sorta/but not really war has become an existential misuse of political capital. Many of us never thought it was worth it, and more and more it appears voters agree. We have to save our own country and our own way of life first before we can save anyone else. We have to save America before we can save the world. If a plane is endangered, you are told to put on your mask first otherwise you’re of no use to help save anyone else. I desperately want us to win. I desperately want this presidency to fulfill all the great promise it had coming out of the 2024 election. But whatever this currently is, isn’t it. We don’t have to just sit here and take the L. It doesn’t have to end this way. We can still win. There’s plenty of ammunition to hammer the Democrats with. We need the president out on the stump asap. We need better and way more aggressive messaging. Stop running fake and gay ads about how often so-and-so shows up for votes, and instead mercilessly hammer Democrats on the wickedness they’re voting for. Articulate specifically what the mission/victory is in Iran/Hormuz, because out here in the cheap seats it feels like another Middle East War quagmire regular folks are paying for on both ends all over again. And for heaven’s sake, make sure Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas are getting the finest healthcare in America.

The poll itself may have leaked early, but I was still on the edge of my seat waiting for a sweet @maristpoll graphic to release at midnight. For those who missed it: Talarico leads by 6 points with 50% of the vote.

Some donate art. Some, education. Others give generously to find cures for cancer. The best of us donate water fountains. What a legacy for Sally and John.

End the war and prices go down $2 a gallon in 3 months. These are half measures. If you don’t get this simple fact of the CAUSE of these high prices, you deserve to lose.
We have to bring down the price of diesel. 📉⛽️ My plan: Sell American energy to Americans first. Pass my Iowa-led biofuel bill = bring down gas 50 cents. Hold Big Oil accountable for gouging.
