... in three of the four key congressional races across the state, while the fourth race is a statistical deadlock. Yet, when the margin of sampling error of +/-5.7 to 5.8 percentage points is factored in, the races remain neck-and-neck. #PoliticsPA politicspa.com/poll-dems-lea…

needed video to believe he actually said this 9 days before an election.
TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

NEW: We asked readers if they've been drowning in political texts, calls, mailers and TV ads, and to share pics of what they're getting. Hooo boy, did we get responses! Some said it's been "harassment." Some won't donate to Dem campaigns ever again. huffpost.com/entry/voters-in…

If there are any Political Science PhD candidates out there that haven’t yet decided what they want to write their dissertation on, I would highly recommend trying to figure out some sort of replicable method for determining the tipping point for when a state reaches a level of political ad saturation (in terms of diminishing returns). Like in Texas, it feels like we reached that point a few weeks ago (at least) but that’s mostly just based on gut and vibes and limited poll movement.

This is a genuinely excellent piece from @Hayley__Harding - so well written and painstakingly reported. If you are worried your election administrator might be breaking the rules, this is a very very good example of how everyone else can stop them. votebeat.org/michigan/2026/1…

In total, PA Education Choice Fund, which has bveen entirely funded by Jeff Yass, has provided three Senate Republican incumbents -- Frank Farry, Tracy Pennycuick and Rosemary Brown -- with $7.2 million from June to October, per CF reports.
Pennsylvania campaign finance reports are due this week. Among the first in a competitive Senate race to file is state Sen. Frank Farry (R., Bucks). He raised $4.7 million since June, almost 75% of which came from a PAC that has so far only been funded by Jeff Yass.
