If true, thank you to the family for stepping up.

NEWS: This money appears to have flowed from 2 members of the DeVos family to a PAC then to the state party and then to ads in support of John James.

The ad to supposedly help Vivek was one of the most strategically stupid ads I have seen in my 30 years in this business. It was so obviously predictable that the counterpunch was going to hurt far more than the punch. It might cost us a US Senate seat.

agree, this is highly unlikely to work and the counterpunch will be much stronger than the punch if the Democrats do it correctly.

This is a dastardly ad. It never should have been created. Shame on whatever consultant firm created this.

James did very well in the 2nd debate. Republicans are doing slightly better now than three weeks ago across the board. But its going to take far more than 1mil to save the ticket when Benson is spending 20mil. Better than nothing of course but the number needs to be 10+ at this point. detroitnews.com/story/opinio…

President Trump, @JDVance, and Republicans are fighting to protect your hard earned money. @MattHallMI: “The mission is simple: find the people stealing from government programs, cut them off, and protect these programs for the people who actually need them.” NO MORE FRAUD!

Yeah, this seems done. House Dems have removed another $190K in the last 24 hours, @AdImpact_Pol says. Still about $300K reserved, but ... yeah.
Zach Gorchow@ZachGorchowOct 14
Small update here. When House Dems pared their original buy of $733K to $498K a week ago, they dropped all buys for the week of 10/14 - 10/20. So, no ads for now. Perhaps a week from today. Methinks not, however. This "buy" has all the hallmarks of politricks.

Decision time for Michigan House Democrats. They have about $500,000 in ads reserved scheduled to start today in the district of House Speaker Matt Hall, R-Richland Township. There's no sign of the ad yet. We'll see if it appears or if they scale back/drop the reservation.

On ticket splitting in Michigan, I was reminded by a source of the state's 2006 results today: Governor: Dem won by 14 points Secretary of State: Republican won by 14 Attorney General: Republican won by 10 U.S. Senate: Dem won by 16 mvic.sos.state.mi.us/votehis…

"Benson is unproven," Republican Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall contended. "I don't think the voters want to give unchecked power to Benson to go back and do a lot of the Democratic wish list."

With polling and campaign spending in her favor, Democratic candidate for governor Jocelyn Benson says she wants to help win Democratic majorities in the Michigan Legislature this fall. detroitnews.com/story/news/p…

Jocelyn Benson says she wants to help build Democratic trifecta

With a big spending advantage over John James in the governor's race, Jocelyn Benson is turning her attention to winning control of the Legislature.

Every poll I have released within a month of the election has been accurate. Prove me wrong….

@downi75Oct 9
Polling is fake and made up, and always has been. One month before the 1990 election, the Detroit News had Gov. Jim Blanchard up 26 points over John Engler. 26 points. The next month Engler won. These people are idiots, don't believe a word they write.

1) Did WOOD-TV record the commercial break exchange between El-Sayed and Rogers? 2) Is WOOD-TV going to eventually release it?

Dear @Delta, I love your airline. I’m a retired DAL pilot and my wife is a former DAL FA. We’re also SkyMiles aficionados. Please fix the WiFi thing. Delta Sync is bad. Starlink is great. Get over the Elon stuff. It’s very difficult to do business when flying on our jets. It’s too unreliable. Please change it. Signed, Buzz & Nichole Patterson

The President is right. But it’s not too late…..yet. Super wealthy donors, RGA, and outside groups can still fix it but unfortunately the clock is ticking.

@strategicOct 1
John James is a good candidate. This is not a post of regret of Perry losing the primary. It is a post to encourage outside groups and super wealthy individuals who care about Michigan’s future to invest in the top of GOP ticket before its too late. Mike Rogers, three congressman, Attorney General, Secretary of State, and potentially the state legislature depend on it.

Out-of-town pool report #16 - Remarks end POTUS finished his remarks at 9:15 p.m. CDT. His closing message was: "You've got to get out and vote." "We are worried about Michigan, we are worried about Texas. We are worried about a few states," he said. "It's all about 35 different contests." Trump said he came to Oklahoma tonight to thank them for "being so loyal to me." Pool was ushered out of the auditorium shortly after. Heading back to vans. Ana Ceballos Los Angeles Times Thu.
