Republicans could be headed for another redistricting miss in Ohio.
@RepMarcyKaptur (D-Ohio), the longest-serving woman in Congress, is locked in a tight rematch with Republican Derek Merrin in a district the GOP made redder last year.
Congressional Reporter @LauraEWeiss16 has the latest on-the-ground reporting from Toledo, Ohio.

REDISTRICTING MISS?
Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) is the longest-serving woman in Congress. After statewide redistricting, Republicans are looking to notch a win that's getting harder to reach.

JOHNSON'S MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR
I traveled to Chehalis, Wash., this week to spend some time with @SpeakerJohnson.
I dont think that Johnson has any idea what he will do if Republicans lose the majority.
He refuses to acknowledge that Republicans are in dire risk of a washout.
He said it's "hilarious" that Democrats think they can get 230 seats.
“I want you to record that I am laughing out loud about that,” he said. “That is nonsense.”
At this point, Johnson seems to be living in a world that few others are inhabiting. The speaker says he doesn’t believe any of the polls, even the mountain of data that the NRCC and the Congressional Leadership Fund give him.

They are going back into FL-25 to try to beat @JaredEMoskowitz. CLF pulled out this week.
They are not going back into NC-11.
Buys will begin dropping today and tomorrow.

👀 There’s a real possibility that Republicans end up winning just one of Florida’s four newly redrawn districts next month. President Trump won all these new districts by nine points or more in 2024.
But only Democratic Rep. Darren Soto’s central Florida district appears locked up for the GOP right now.
Senior Congressional Reporter @allymutnick has the latest reporting from the Sunshine State.

Noteworthy: @JohnCornyn says he believes Elon Musk would not slow down Starlink without "at least the acquiescence of the White House.
"I think it's frankly shameful," he adds.
Texas Senator @JohnCornyn was asked on @CNBC about the throttling of @Starlink in the war between Russian and Ukraine, and he did not hold back!

My first dispatch from my Arizona reporting trip, featuring this anecdote from Amish Shah on how healthcare is a central part of his message>>>
The signature Republican reconciliation bill is playing a starring role in Arizona Democratic messaging two weeks out from the midterms.

SCOOP: Julio Herrera Velutini, a Venezuelan billionaire, really wanted a pardon. He got it not long after his daughter hired Alina Habba, a lawyer close to Trump, in a deal worth more than $50 million. Habba was also working at DOJ at the time.
