NEW from me: Obama
“You do not have, as far as I can tell, any substantial group of Republicans who are standing up and saying, ‘No, you can’t do that, because we don’t want, if there’s a Democratic president, to be banning Fox News” cnn.com/2026/09/23/politics/…

NEW from me - The Rio Grande Valley was all Trump country in 2024, largely on the strength of Latino support.

Josh Shapiro, Austin Davis, lots of state leg candidates and four Democrats looking to flip House seats are all campaigning hard to win in Pennsylvania in November.

“I’m not concerned about what John Fetterman decides to do. I’ll make my own decision without whatever he decides affecting it.”
NEW from me: while Schumer and DC Democrats keep up their careful dance around Fetterman, fed-up Democrats back home in Pennsylvania say they're coming for his seat: cnn.com/2026/09/13/politics/…

President Trump made his midterm election strategy clear last night: Pretend he's on the ballot. @IsaacDovere says, "When people think about the midterms as a referendum on the incumbent president, it usually doesn't go well for that incumbent president's party."

What do voters in the South think of @GavinNewsom?
@CNN's @IsaacDovere traveled with him to South Carolina. He says Newsom drew a largely white, older crowd...that was impressed by what they saw.
"It's a good start...but there's clearly a lot of work to do."

Democrats “would do well to examine the structures that perpetuate a status quo,” said Joe Kennedy, who ran against Markey in 2020.
As of Sunday, Kennedy said he had not made up his mind who to vote for in the race between Markey and Moulton on Tuesday. cnn.com/2026/08/31/politics/…
