New @PuckNews Did the midterms weaken JD Vance’s chances in 2028? Some activists and party insiders think so — as other Republicans feel more emboldened to test the waters The catch: GOP voters still like Vance, even if MAGA got wiped out puck.news/washington/2026/11…

An addendum to a dummymander. Not only did TX Republicans spark Prop 50, for a final score of TX-0, CA-5, they also forced TX Dem legislators into the arms of @GavinNewsom for a national media event at the Gov Mansion. One of those… standing right behind him @GinaHinojosaTX

Great question! As far as I can tell, this China ad aired for 8 days in Mississippi and had a grand total of ... $19,000 behind it.
Did this ad like actually run anywhere???

An important Ossoff/Georgia dynamic here: Warnock is thinking about 2028, too. Can they both run from the same state? Probably not. And if Ossoff wants it, does he need Warnock green light first?
New @PuckNews How the blue midterm blowout changes the 2028 conversation — how it doesn’t Plus, candidate questions: the Warnock-Ossoff conundrum, AOC’s decision, and whether past candidates like Kamala/Pete/Booker can be standard-bearers after voters just demanded new blood puck.news/washington/2026/11…

Keenly observed by @GustavoArellano: “Almost all the city’s Latino power brokers — politicians, nonprofit leaders, union activists, celebrities — bet big on longtime ally Bass, only to now find themselves on the outside looking in.” latimes.com/california/story…

three nits with the complaints about DGA re: FL + TX spending 1) They had to go maximal in OH, NV, WI, AZ - especially with national donors/press obsessed with Senate races 2) They helped get Holscher over the finish line in KS 3) At the same time, FL/TX require massive spend
Multiple sources, Democratic and Republican strategists, tell @swin24 that Nixon and Jolly would have won if the Democrats invested in FL. "All of them agreed – left or right – that Dems would have won in Florida, had the national powers-that-be put in more money and effort."

I saw Morris at an event a couple months ago and he handed me a 16(??)mg zyn and said to watch Mississippi
Now it can be revealed... Who crafted those two third-party spots in Mississippi, the Chinese language ad attacking Hyde-Smith for putting "China First" and the one featuring Hyde-Smith's GOP primary rival endorsing Colom? It was....@katz_morris Ads below
