REPORTER: Trump mentions you a lot. Do you think it's about you [or] attacking Illinois to rev up his voters?
PRITZKER: I think he's jealous of my weight loss.

Haley Stevens wrote in a text message to the NYT that she won't appear with Abdul El-Sayed in the campaign’s final week.
“I am not campaigning with Abdul,” she wrote.

Pretty rich for Haley Stevens to lecture Abdul El-Sayed about “hate” over an ad his campaign has explicitly disavowed while Mike Rogers is running one of the most racist and bigoted campaigns I’ve ever seen.
The hate in this race is being directed at Abdul, not coming from him.

Very strong polls for Democrats in individual Senate races over the past couple of days. Polls can be wrong, that's what models/probabilities/markets are for, but I think we're past the point where you can honestly say "polls show the Senate is too close to call".

Just a reminder, John F. Kennedy won his first race for Congress by recruiting a janitor with the same name of the incumbent to run for office. This is an old trick, and a dirty trick, but it’s by no means unprecedented.
A team player

1) This whole "so and so needs to denounce this thing this random person said" schtick is such lame politics
2) She's been a really good surrogate and handled her loss professionally. It's a very bad look for her to suddenly appear as if she's trying to sabotage his campaign the week of the midterms
3) If you need to hash things out with the candidate, maybe talk to them first instead of running to CNN to complain?

Abdul El-Sayed: “The worst of the Big Ugly Bill hasn’t even hit yet. They knew it would be so disastrous to working people that they didn’t actually make it take effect until after the midterms. In January, Medicaid cuts, ACA subsidy cuts, all of that is gonna get worse. It’s about to be a nuclear bomb that goes off on our healthcare system”
