First, when a candidate gives money to a state party as this report indicates Norton did, it usually is not a donation; it's a pass-through to cover services used in his campaign.

Obviously, the men of high finance are geniuses with a greater work ethic and level of discernment than us mere mortals.
I am going to make a bold and early call. @VivekGRamaswamy will run for POTUS and win. I think the country is ready for his message. He is young, smart, talented and will attract the center to the right to win. He speaks hard truths which many believe but fear to say.

The most basic moral construct is shoe-on-the-other-foot. It's what we say to toddlers when they hit their playmate. "Well, how would you feel if Bobby hit you?"
Haley, how would you feel if you won your primary and Abdul endorsed Mikey?

'They're Going to Blame Us': Even Jewish Critics of El-Sayed Have Joined the Backlash Against Stevens

It's not that I disagree w Gina here, it's that she was a Trump campaign official, and he is a corrupt liar who has betrayed our constitution. So I'm glad she's being honest now, but she has a lot to answer for.
My favorite thing here is an organization that literally recruited, promoted and made expenditures in the GOP primary now playing it off like they are merely a ‘GOTV’ operation and have no responsibility for the imminent losses. Cycle three by my count. Enough.

Our poll of Jewish voters for @jstreetdotorg: There's no exodus of Jewish voters from the Dem party:
Thank you, Kari Lake!
Have you considered running for chair of @AZGOP?
You'd be great.
When this is said & done, we need to reform our elections.
Election Day is the Super Bowl. There is no excuse for running out of paper or acting shocked by turnout.
The heavy Election Day turnout is a good sign: Americans don’t want to go back to the previous administration’s wide-open borders, free-falling economy, & crime everywhere, & they’re showing up in force to prove it.

I don't know where those races will end up once the final votes are counted.
I do know that the seats don't belong to a party. They belong to the voters who live there. The voters can't "steal" the seats; they can take them away from any party which has held them.
No one believes that Abe Hamadeh and Mark Lamb are losing their races in super safe red districts. NO ONE. The Democrats bit off more than they can chew if they steal those two seats.

#AZ02
In 2024 Jonathan Nez was one of the top 10 Democratic overperformers of the cycle - in leagues with Mary Peltola, Kristen McDonald-Rivet and Pat Ryan. Now Rs are dumping money in this district to save Eli Crane.
#AZ02 is the battleground.

Democrats are voting for Republicans today
I have Democrat councilmembers telling me they voted for Andy Biggs because they believe Katie Hobbs has been incompetent and unwilling to work for the people of Arizona or have conversations with them and concerns.
That says a lot when even members of her own party are frustrated with her leadership.
"only by about 5"
Given the historic Dem wave, powered by mostly center-left candidates, worth noting that…
El-Sayed only on track to prevail in Michigan by about 5.
DSA-endorsed Nixon losing the one reddish Senate race where other states with similar Trump-Harris numbers flipped to Dems.
DSA member Lawrence looks like he’ll lose Michigan swing seat held by Slotkin.

At just 17, my friend @Mendoza4AZ answered the call to serve our country. After 20 years in the military, she's continuing that service in Congress.
I saw up close how hard she worked on this campaign, and I know she’ll continue that hard work in Washington as she fights for our families and keeps them safe.
Congratulations, JoAnna! Tucson is lucky to have you!

JoAnna Mendoza is one of the best in the game. One of the first House Dems to go on air for the general election and to face ugly R attacks and meet them with grace.
Now she's flipped this seat and will be the first woman Marine elected to Congress. @Mendoza4AZ #AZ06
People who lose primaries and then complain they got shut out are just making excuses for sour grapes.
People who endorse the person in the other party 2 days before the election are ego maniacs.

Nothing but stars on my ballot today, but voting for @Mendoza4AZ while we work to get out the vote in #AZ06 felt extra special!
Together, Arizona is gonna #FlipTheHouse, #FlipTheLeg, and re-elect @KatieHobbs, @Adrian_Fontes, and @KrisMayes! 💪🗳️
