Once, an Uber driver picked me up blaring hard core rap. He switched to Kenny G when I got in. Then, he turned on Bollywood. I’m not sure what offended me most.
Patrick Morrisey just won by far the most expensive gubernatorial primary in West Virginia state history. It was a brutal race with 4 major candidates. Moore Capito was the establishment favorite, with a current U.S. Senator for a mom AND a former Governor for a grandfather.

just became the first Ohioan, since the 17th amendment allowed direct elections of Senators, to win election to the U.S. Senate without before without having ever previously run for ANY office.
#OHSenate
JD has accepted 2 debates with non-partisan news orgs. We did not accept a debate put on by an org led by a Democratic partisan who donated $ to you and who actively sits on the board of Planned Parenthood. We would love to work out the debate schedule with your team.
#OHSen
Ohio St played 13 FBS opponents, Bama played 11. Ohio St has 2 top 10 wins, Bama has zero. Ohio St won its conference, Bama didn’t win its division. What exactly is the case for the Tide?
Here comes the national media overhyping this result. Specials are weird. No doubt the Dems have enthusiasm, but

was ALWAYS going to be tight. It’s just the makeup of the district. Congrats to Troy.

Pretty absurd take. Mary Carillo clearly disagreed with her but treated her with respect during her interview a few years ago. Tennis journalists, more and more, seem to think they are the arbiter of what is allowed to be said.

. When I was an officeholder, my wife would ask, what’s with December and all these parties? Don’t you do any work? And I would try to explain, it kind of IS work. Yes it’s fun, but it’s important networking too. Not completely convincing, it seemed.
I am also pleased to announce that Ryan Burgess will serve as my Director of Cabinet Affairs. He currently serves as the Director of the Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation where he has been tasked with developing Ohio’s skilled and productive workforce.
Tim Ryan has a lot of problems. Perhaps the biggest one is that he thinks Ohio voters are stupid. He can run away from his record and distort the truth all he wants. His time is coming.

frames JD Vance as anti-police, even going so far as to accuse him of wanting to "defund law enforcement." The spot alludes to Vance's remarks supportive of embattled Matt Gaetz and his calls to eliminate the ATF.

Children of politicians aren’t doing so well. It’s going to be a very interesting race for 🥈!
Running for election, meeting voters, and hearing what they care about matters. The Dems changed the rules to devalue NH and IA, so Biden didn’t have to campaign. We now know that decision allowed the media to overlook Biden’s problems, and keep the truth from Democrat voters.
@BenRothenberg
No. You can challenge. That’s your role. But there has been a concerted effort to downplay her achievements- to deplatform. You’ve been one of those leaders. I can never get behind that for journalism. You guys are not the arbiters of the truth.

CNN's Jamie Gangel attacks Trump for saying "Fight! Fight! Fight!" after someone tried to murder him.
Literally, she complains about what he did 5 seconds after he was shot
"That's not the message that we want to being sending right now. We want to tamp it down"
Campaigns which are struggling because of environment often will oversell an attack. This is a prime example. No voter is going to believe that a car dealership is the reason an entire plant closed down. It doesn’t pass the smell test.
Ohioans like Doug paid the price after Bernie Moreno sold Chinese-made cars, the same cars that led to the Lordstown plant closing and thousands of Ohioans losing their jobs.
Kinda amazing that I got all the way to the end of the piece without any inkling from anyone inside or against the Vance campaign that keeping his wife out of campaign events might be b/c Trump base wouldn't welcome a BIPOC spouse:

Knew I had worked with many great local officials over the years, but seeing their faces and renewing friendships has been special. Simon and Garfunkel, “Old Friends/ Old Friends. Time it was/ And what a time it was/ It was .../ A time of innocence/ A time of confidences.”
Rarely have America’s children suffered so many blows—and all at once—as during the pandemic. Psychologists and researchers say they expect it to cause deeper and more chronic suffering for more kids than most natural disasters.
@stoolpresidente
I’ve had a very similar experience with the NYT. It’s unbelievable how many lies they are willing to tell when they have a hit piece they are determined to run.
There is a narrative in the media that Tim Ryan ran a great campaign and will just come up short through no fault of his own. The truth is, outside of small dollar fundraising, it’s been full of miscues. This one is just plain malpractice.
A GOP operative on the Ohio Senate race sent this: Tim Ryan's campaign aired his Bernie Kosar ad with 2X more penetration in Cincinnati than Cleveland.
Bernie Kosar was a divisional rival of the Cincinnati Bengals in the 80s and 90s - fans there have a deep hatred for him.
I have never played the race card. My 1st generation parents love this country and taught me to love it as well. I even love Apu. But

And my stance is as a reporter for The NY Times you should report her comments and let the public decide. My sense is you shouldn’t be rooting for an outcome one way or another. That seems to me the role of an activist.

This isn’t even close to being true, but Tim Ryan can’t help himself. If this claim had any merit, there is no doubt the money he was begging for would’ve come. That being said, I’m pleading with National Dems to put him in a position of power!
