I still feel this way with a week to go. I also feel increasingly bullish about TX and even KS-GOV from what I’m seeing/hearing. We are competitive on the outer reaches of the map. There might be some close race heartbreak but…the map is expanding, not contracting, a week out.

Senate Majority PACs’ @laurennfrench on a Senate map that’s extending into states Trump won by double digits
One of the hardest things to do in politics but Jim is spot on (not just for Abdul, but in general this last week). It’s change the subject season and unless your opponent hands you a gift (looking at you Vivek), don’t let them move the discussion away from winning turf
Trump wants Democrats to take the bait. With eight days left in Michigan’s Senate race, the focus needs to stay on affordability and what voters are dealing with. I discussed that with @PeterAlexander on MS NOW this morning.
.@scott_colom chatted with folks in line for the Trump rally because Scott is running to represent ALL Mississippians
I agree with this take 100% and also if you had told someone in January 2025 (shit, maybe 2026) that the tail risk of this cycle would be Republicans losing MS-SEN, you would have been looked at like you had five heads.
I'm touched by the gesture, I'm annoyed by the Warriors reference, and I loved the post. Not gonna tl;dr it for you - just read.
My take, in a letter to @ASDem, on how I am thinking about Florida with one week to go.

She……..doubled down on it??????????
Oh boy, on the eve of Trump’s visit to Mississippi, Cindy Hyde-Smith *doubles down* on her other “proteins to choose from” comment.
“Thank goodness when mothers want to feed their families when you go out shopping, there are proteins, you want to feed meat, there are some cheaper prices. And that’s what that statement was about.”

Compelling strategic argument here
Lots of people are asking me where to give their money - if you can only do one race, I’d give what you can to @MaryPeltola
Several reasons:
1) It’s a small state, so your money goes further per expected senate vote
2) Direct donations buy 19x ads per dollar than committees due to the unit rule - this also frees up the DSCC and SMP to put their money on states with smaller IE/coord ad price spreads and frees them up to spend more on digital
3) it’s likely going to be close!
It’s not too late! Any money you send today will get spent immediately and will provide real relief to an overworked campaign workers across a bunch of orgs!

Me realizing they might move Game 7 from
Halloween to Election Night
Tomorrow, I’m chaperoning my son’s first kindergarten field trip. Me, a few other parents, and 24 feral 5/6 year olds. I’m irrationally excited. Parenting is so exhausting and I complain about it constantly (often with good reason), but it also rules.
Thanks for writing this.
