Thursday

This discourages Democrats from voting, and encourages donors to keep supporting Republicans. Democrats’ messaging has to be that they are the favorites.

It helps that they are. NC and ME should be pickups, and NH is the only current D seat I am concerned about because of Sununu. AK, OH, IA, TX are potential pickups, and an independent could win deep red NE. The independent running in MT is really a MAGA Republican, and could split that vote.
