Vivek Ramaswamy campaign switches to a 30-second (instead of 60-second) version of the attack ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother

More than 500 ads about Epstein and pedophiles have run this election cycle
That's roughly 2% of the House, Senate and gubernatorial ads tracked by AdImpact. Nearly 3 in 4 are backed by Dems

National money has disappeared
TV fight is one sided, as are most public polls
Even republicans, including Trump, saying the quiet part out loud
NC was once seen as key to the midterm Senate math, but now it now feels like ballgame

PINECREST, Fla. — HAKEEM JEFFRIES takes House majority fight to Trump’s backyard in Florida
The House Democratic leader campaigned in a heavily Hispanic, pro-Trump district Friday, telling @NBCNews in an exclusive interview today it’s one of “an abundance of options” for his party to flip seats this fall.
Jeffries stumped with Democrat @ERodforCongress, who is vying to unseat GOP 3-term incumbent @MaElviraSalazar.
FL-27 supported Trump by nearly 15 percentage points in his 2024 comeback. Now, in the closing stretch, @hakeemjeffries says there's a "real opportunity to flip this seat."

New —> Jon Ossoff for president? How Georgia’s 2026 race for governor could affect the answer
Despite the buzz, Ossoff insists he’s not interested. He wouldn’t be first to change his mind. But he’d face a 2028 hurdle if Rs win the gov race, one that matters to activists and donors: a successful WH run would mean handing his Senate seat over to the GOP in a battleground state, with no guarantee of Democrats winning it back.

Scoop: A New York-based union leader quoted in a Maine Senate attack ad sends a “cease and desist” threat to the PAC, demanding the spot be pulled down
The Teamsters official is quoted in the GOP ad as slamming Troy Jackson’s health care plan. He tells me he didn’t comment on Jackson’s plan and was “shocked” to see the quote in the ad.
Here’s what he did say, the origin of the quote and how the PAC (SLF) is responding.
Plus, Jackson defends his M4A plan and touts support from Maine’s local Teamsters. Health care is a big issue in ME-Senate as Collins criticizes his position.

Abdul El-Sayed has been mocking Mike Rogers for not having big rallies or doing town halls in #MISen. Rogers says his lower-key approach is by design: "He’s very performative," he says of El-Sayed. "He loves doing the Taylor Swift videos."

How a conspiracy theory about James Talarico raced through the right-wing internet

“The buyers made a mistake on one of the placements. It’s down now and they’re running it in Portland, Maine,” Chamberlain said. “It has nothing to do with us. I would never run an ad in Portland, Oregon, for Susan Collins, for Christ’s sake.”
OOPS
GOP ad buyer mixes up Portlands, spends money meant to help Maine Sen. Susan Collins in Oregon
The PAC boosting Collins is "absolutely furious" at the "ridiculous error" made by the buyer, which takes blame and has refunded the money.

Scoop: Texas Rep. Sylvia Garcia expressed dismay that Gov. Beshear didn't attend a DGA mtg w/Latino leaders this a.m. as they pushed for more money for Hinojosa.
Garcia lauded Pritzker while warning Beshear about a White House run.
“Any path to the White House goes through the Latino community,” Garcia tells us. “We’re going to remember in 2028 who was there with us when we needed them and who wasn’t.”
