perfect, no notes (of course this means their incentives are to spend more money electing Republicans)

btw if you’re ticked at AIPAC for whatever reason them spending a maximum amount of money to barely lose is ideal, 10/10, just as a pure matter of don’t-know-ball and forward outcome for them as an organization. this cycle has been catastrophic for them purely in terms of inputs and outputs

I hadn't caught this, but the percent of the population who says "higher prices" are the reason their household finances declined in the last year hit the *all time* high in the UMichigan Sentiment data.

BLITZER: If a Democratic Senate primary were held in Pennsylvania today, do you believe you would win? FETTERMAN: ... Like, today? BLITZER: Yeah FETTERMAN: Uh. Yeah.

Trump's guy is losing to someone who isn't even running anymore because his name is Amir Hassan and though he's an evangelical Christian, MAGAts assume he's Muslim. Who could've seen that coming?

The Downballot@the-downballot.com · 20h ago

Seems like an upset might be brewing in the GOP primary in #MI08 to take on Dem Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet. Trump endorsed Amir Hassan, but he currently trails an absolute nobody who suspended his campaign a month ago by a wide margin.

THAT’S RIGHT

AIPAC may have bought our election in Illinois, but we're not going to let that happen in Michigan. 5 days left to make them panic. Vote for Abdul on or before August 4th.

progressives have never had a victory like this in michigan before, especially after 2024 when nobody serious wanted to go after slotkin

there's gonna be a bunch of cope about how it not being a blowout is actually a loss for the left and it's gonna fall flat because a win's a win's a win's a win. Abdul El-Sayed is the next Senator from Michigan.

word. currently 49-47 but rapidly running out of votes for Stevens to make up ground

🚨🚨 Abdul El Sayed wins the Democratic Senate primary in Michigan, NBC News projects. He defeats Haley Stevens.

Did you fail to believe anon Did you

Polling USA@usapolling.bsky.social · 24h ago

El-Sayed is projected to win the Michigan Democratic Senate primary and will go up against Mike Rogers in November

Stevens has now flipped Macomb County from El-Sayed. We've got about 33,000 remaining votes in Macomb. Question is who benefits from this.

In MI-08, an R+1 district with a Dem incumbent, the GOP candidate Trump endorsed is losing by double digits to a guy who'd dropped out last month.

yeah, thankfully Missouri voters didn't want to completely destroy their state budget

The final margins on those two GOP amendments in Missouri are really wild. Better than 4 to 1 against for both!

Republican policies are really unpopular.
