UPDATE: My sources indicate that the list of candidates for Trump’s next Press Secretary continues to expand. I am now tracking eight serious contenders, with additional names under review. I would caution against drawing conclusions about any one candidate at this stage.

Lula winning is good news for Joe Biden’s 2028 aspirations.

I know some people are surprised by Lula’s victory, but this is precisely why you visit diners instead of sitting behind a computer refreshing spreadsheets all day. The warning signs were there for anyone willing to speak to ordinary Brazilians over breakfast.

I’ve seen enough: I am officially calling the Brazilian presidential election for Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. I ask that all major news networks update their electoral maps accordingly. - Dr. Nate G. Lichtman

Taking a stab in the dark, but does anyone have a county-stratified, precinct-normalized panel of heteroskedastic voter-transition coefficients, disaggregated by 2022 ballot-return latency, household appliance ownership, and residual partisan elasticity? Preferably in Stata format. Excel submissions will be discarded. -Dean Lichtman

A Republican candidate produces a vile attack ad, a Republican President endorses it, and a Republican Vice President defends it. And somehow Joe Manchin concludes that BOTH parties are the problem. His commitment to false equivalence is almost as impressive as his inability to identify the party responsible.
The disgusting attack ad in the Ohio governor’s race points to a much bigger problem in politics. The political parties don't care about the character or integrity of their candidates anymore. They only care about power — no matter what it takes. We need common sense leadership, and once again, the parties are failing to meet the moment.

I find it baffling that Democratic congressional candidates aren’t inviting Joe Biden to campaign for them. The man received 81 million votes in 2020. I would think that warrants at least a few invitations to local campaign events.

I’m frankly surprised by the movement I’m beginning to see in the polls following Trump’s Man of the Century award. Apparently voters place more weight on this distinction than I anticipated.

Byron Donalds just denied me entry to his public event in St. Pete, and threatened to arrest me if we didn't leave. Mind you, my wife and I attended Angie Nixon’s event last week with no issues.

I encourage everyone to bookmark this extraordinary display of analytical illiteracy and consult me when @ClayTravis is proven spectacularly wrong. In my 75 years of studying elections, I have encountered many intellectually limited commentators. Few have combined such modest abilities with such magnificent self-assurance. Clay is, in this respect, a generational talent.
18 million people have voted early so far. The Democrat-Republican voting split is nearly identical to the early vote in 2022. So far there is zero blue wave. Numbers are nearly identical to 2022, when Republicans won the nationwide popular vote. Keep voting!

EXCLUSIVE: Following her successful intervention in Ukraine, Melania Trump has reportedly requested comprehensive briefings on Kashmir, Taiwan, Sudan, and the Korean Peninsula. Sources caution she may not have time to resolve all four this month.

Yes, Clay. Republicans are famously indifferent to politics. The Trump flags, Trump hats, Trump boat parades, Trump tattoos, Trump-themed weddings, and people who have spent the last decade organizing their entire personalities around Donald Trump are merely coincidental.
Replying to @ClayTravis
My general thesis on why this is the case is because there are more diehard Democrat partisans who make politics their life and show up on day one than Republicans, who tend to have other things in their life than just politics. Hence Dems start with early vote lead.

😳 here's pictures taken today of Trump's right and left hands. Both are looking really bad, and he's using makeup on each of them to try to mask it (note how the left one is now looking just as nasty as the right one -- that's new) (Aaron Schwartz/Getty)

Whether it’s Jared Kushner’s billion dollar dealings with foreign governments or Hunter Biden selling a watercolor of a flower, both sides have a corruption problem. And frankly, anyone trying to suggest one is worse than the other is part of the problem.
What about my paintings again?

I can now reveal that my 2024 tweet citing Red Eagle Politics was part of a controlled experiment by the Lichtman Polling Institute. I deliberately legitimized a fraudulent polling operation to expose the industry’s vulnerabilities. Unlike Wedgwood, which deceived the public for fraudulent purposes, I deceived the public to demonstrate how easily the public could be deceived.
Meet an Election Expert: Jack Francis, founder of Red Eagle Politics, has been a political force since a young age, showcasing an uncanny knack for election insights. Based on his one prediction that Trump would win in 2020, his track record in the election industry is 0/1 or 0%. He seeks to redeem himself in 2024. As for credentials, by age 10, he was studying electoral maps and debating friends and family about key issues, surprising adults with his mature understanding of American politics. A steadfast believer in conservative values, Jack saw a major void in election coverage, which he set out to fill. He got an A in his high school civics class! In 2019, at just 19 years old, he launched Red Eagle Politics as a one-man operation, dedicated to providing clear-eyed, pro-America election analysis that boldly rejected mainstream media’s narratives. Jack’s moment came in 2020 when, amidst waves of liberal predictions, he confidently forecast a Trump victory. With an unwavering commitment to real talk and grassroots wisdom, Jack’s Red Eagle Politics has become a beacon for those demanding unapologetically pro-Trump, America First analysis—exactly what’s missing from the mainstream.
