.@AbdulElSayed is ten points ahead when you average the latest polls together. If anything close to that proves true, it would be quite a remarkable win, given the huge spending disparity between @HaleyforMI and him. More than $70m has been spent on her behalf, mostly by SuperPacs.

When you think of hormones, what comes to mind? For a lot of people, the term holds negative connotations. On this week’s episode of our podcast Explain It to Me, host Jonquilyn Hill talks to Heather Hirsch, an internist who specializes in menopause, about how hormone replacement therapy is helping women feel like themselves again and why it’s still a challenge to talk about it.

NEW: Last week, I scooped House Democrats’ new campaign tagline: “Fighting for an Affordable America.” Now I’ve obtained the internal messaging guidance behind the rollout.
