Retired Republican County Judge Glen Whitley endorses James Talarico for US Senate:
“I’m ashamed that Ken Paxton is even on the ballot. He’s the most corrupt politician Texas has ever seen.”

So great to see @davidjollyfl and @GwenGraham in St. Pete tonight.
Together they are going to win - and get to work lowering costs for Florida families while restoring civility and decency to the Sunshine State's governance.

🚨🚨🚨 Been saying for weeks, #FL13 is the race to watch. On the ground it is clear that @LeelaJGray has the momentum.
Luna is panicking after running a half-ass campaign - and demanding bailouts from her MAGA allies.

It’s 7pm and the polls are closed, but voters are still lined up for 2 hours and more to vote in Tarrant County. Yes, if you’re in line you get to vote.

I would add Gwen Graham to this list. She has been so doing so much to help the ticket win.
And also the dummymander, which forced Dems to get their shit together and build real races in so many districts. Jolly is helping lift them - and they are helping lift Jolly.

The Dem Party chair, Nikki Fried, though maligned by fools & backstabbers in her ranks, has done yeoman’s work as well with very little
Mind you, I’m not predicting a Dem win.
This is an “if”
Also, pay attn to the Atty General’s race…

Disclaimer: Poll paid for by Jamie Davis. It shows him tied with Julia Letlow in Louisiana Senate race at 45. Letlow has big advantage in name recognition. Most political pros still think she will win. I have asked Letlow campaign to provide me with their latest numbers. I’ll tweet if they do #lalege #lagov nola.com/news/politics/trump…

Below is total turnout percentage by party through Wednesday of the last full week, 2022 to 2026
Democrats: 28.7% —> 38.6%
NPA: 16.0% —> 22.1%
Republicans: 32.6% —> 28.6%
And this isn’t a function of a typical Dem problem – our Election Day voters voting earlier than usual, thus “cannibalizing” the Democratic electorate and making the early voting numbers look better. If anything, it’s the GOP this cycle that is cannibalizing its Election Day vote. Roughly 60K more 2022 Election Day Republicans have voted than Election Day Democrats.

Whoa!
Justice Dept says cost of new seawall at East Potomac Park will cost between $150 million and $400 million
Judge: Who appropriated money for that?
Justice Dept says no one did.

Today's In Person Early Vote Outlook:
Today's In Person Early Vote (Oct 30th only) is currently running at R+12.07 as of 11am. With the way things are trending, it's likely to increase slightly for the 3pm drop.
Democrats are expected to eat into the margin again later on this evening as we head into the 7pm drop. My rough estimate is that it runs at R+13.5 at 3pm and comes back down to around R+10.5 by 7pm.
Again, just some rough estimates. Yesterday, Democrats overperformed at the 7pm drop, wiping away more than 4 points. We should have a better picture of where things stand at 3pm. jaysonfrascatore.github.io/F…
I have said all along, Nixon beating Vindman in that primary was the best thing that has happened to FL Dems in a LONG time!

Thanks to reporting we now have a fuller picture of Amy Acton's mother -- homeless, not getting the care she needs, unstable -- and that means someone from the Ramaswamy team scooped her up, got her TV-ready, shot the ad, and then sent her back to destitution without helping her.

Talarico: "We are literally going up against the richest man in the world. This election is a battle between the powers that be and the powers that ought to be. The powers that be have chosen their candidate. They have bought and paid for Ken Paxton. But we are standing with the powers that ought to be -- the teachers and nurses, the farmers and ranchers, the grandmother who is facing eviction, the little boy waking up from the lights of the data center ... I want to be a senator for every Texan who can't afford one"
