Democratic candidate for WI-03 @RebeccaforWI met with carpenters in La Crosse last night as part of her campaigning before #ElectionDay.

How this has all unfolded is crazy...
‣ Ohio political blogger The Rooster (@OhioCrawler) publishes a copy of the ad on social media Monday night after reporting the week prior that he heard it was coming
‣ Right-wing influencers, including @DonaldJTrumpJr, share the ad and promote it as a bombshell
‣ @amyactonoh's campaign releases a statement from her brother condemning the ad
‣ Acton condemns the ad in interviews with @SpectrumNews1OH and @wosunews
‣ @VivekGRamaswamy's campaign releases a statement that doesn’t condemn or take ownership of the ad, but raises questions about Acton’s relationship with her estranged mom
‣ The Rooster tells @CNN he was sent the ad by a voter who saw it as part of a poll and recorded it
‣ Acton’s campaign releases an ad in response of her brother condemning it
‣ A growing list of Ohio and national Democrats and Republicans condemn the ad and urge Ramaswamy to distance himself from it
‣ Ramaswamy confirms to @USATODAY's Ohio Statehouse Bureau that his campaign produced the ad
‣ Ramaswamy’s campaign tells @axios it will spend $4 million to air the ad statewide
"A chorus of condemnation from some Ohio politicians is growing against Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy over an attack ad produced by his campaign that featured his opponent's estranged mother criticizing her and questioning the years of abuse she endured as a child."

ACTON REPSONDS: @amyactonoh responds to an attack ad featuring her estranged mother, who calls Acton a liar. The two have not spoken since 1978, when after Acton disclosed she was sexually abused between the ages of 9 and 12, her stepfather was arrested on rape charges. Acton’s mother backed her husband against the charges and lost custody of Acton and her brother.

Republican @derrickvanorden retells story of how he helped his soon-to-be Democratic challenger @RebeccaforWI start her car in subzero weather as an example of "Midwest nice."
@RebeccaforWI Let me check here.
We were on the same plane flying back from DC where you were setting yourself up to run against me again, your car would not start, and I took 30 min in subzero weather without a jacket to get it started, but that is not Midwest nice?
I bet that podcaster guy is pissed because you made him look like a fool.
Good job.

New: Trump is opening the door to Press Secretary Katie Zacharia leaving after a week on the job.
"I said to Katie: you don't have to do this if you don't want to," he said, adding she's been treated "nastily" so far. "I said to her, honestly, if I were you, I'd reconsider."

New WH press secretary Katie Zacharia just stopped to talk to reporters on the North Lawn after a FOX News hit. She told us she was looking forward to working with us, but that she would not be taking any questions.
Asked if she'll be with Kamala Harris during her visit to Wisconsin to campaign for David Crowley, Rebecca Cooke said, "I don’t need anyone to come and campaign with me in my district. I do the work of building relationships... on my own." @SpectrumNews1WI spectrumnews1.com/wi/milwauk…
ICYMI: A new analysis from @MULawLubar finds college students with Republican leanings are less reliable voters than their liberal peers.

Both Republicans and Democrats in Wisconsin's hotly contested race for governor are getting ready for another nailbiter in the battleground state.
“We basically see a dead heat race at this point," Republican @TomTiffanyWI said.

.@RebeccaforWI says she raised $3.65m in Q2 2026, bringing her to ~$12m this election cycle.
“This is a people-powered campaign, backed not by Corporate PACs but grassroots donors who want leaders who will lower costs, improve health care, and fight for an end to forever wars."

Wisconsin Republican candidate for governor @TomTiffanyWI, who has a 100% voting record with President Donald Trump, won’t give a thumbs up or thumbs down when asked if he approves of the job Trump is doing as president.
