Just a month after national Republicans appeared to give up on Arizona Republican Blake Masters, the Trump-backed Senate candidate has staged a comeback — and Arizona is in play. National and Arizona Democratic operatives are privately fretting that incumbent Sen. Mark Kelly is endangered, noting a shift by previously undecided voters toward the GOP, aided by a patchwork of new Republican spending to bolster Masters. Recent polling has shown Kelly’s lead shrinking to a few points, much tighter than surveys showed throughout August and September. “There’s a very narrow path to victory for Democrats in Arizona,” said Roy Herrera, a

Comments:

They are admitting that the polling has been phony. Kelly never really had a big lead. Older voters who had been skeptical about Blake Masters are now getting on board in a big way.

Any Arizonan who would vote for the hack Mark Kelly is voting against their own safety and their own economic well-being.

This analysis says democrats are very nervous maybe in a panic about this race. Kelly is a dud. Masters has emerged as an excellent candidate. He has a very good shot.

And yet Mitch McConnell, at one point, removed funding for Masters. McConnell is apparently removing money from Donald Bolduc’s senatorial campaign in New Hampshire, even though that race is competitive. Mitch is showering millions on Lisa Murkowski despite the Alaska senate race being between two Republicans. The money he is throwing around should be spent to elect Republicans instead of pouring into the coffers of hacks who promise to be McConnell yes men.

My donations stop if McCarthy and McConnell become speakers. McCarthy refuses to impeach clearly impeachable offenses: Garland, Mayorkas, Biden. McConnell is especially wicked: He gets candidates to rely on the Senate PAC and then pulls the money when it is needed the most in the final weeks.

Masters is a fine candidate. Very personable. He wrecked Kelly in that debate and the media put it in the graveyard. Kelly runs ads about rednecks in pool halls who don't like things Blake Masters says. But they love their guns being taken and the size of the IRS doubling, no doubt. His new ads say he is in favor of trucks. Then there are those where he talks to happy citizens at the border. The polls had Kelly up thirteen against the "born loser" Martha McSally. The vulcan goober won by a lot less than that, accompanied by all the electoral tricks.

Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., expressed disbelief that "anybody" would vote for Republicans, in an interview with The New York Times on Monday. The paper pressed Pelosi on "troubling" data for Democrats this November. But Pelosi "rejected the suggestion that late-breaking trends seem to favor Republicans," according to The Times. 'Part of it is, I cannot believe anybody would vote for these people," she said, before bashing Republicans’ campaign strategy as "endless lying and endless money." In recent media interviews, the Democrat has spurned polls showing GOP-favored issues like the economy and crime are what voters care about the most.

A Russian court on Tuesday upheld American basketball star Brittney Griner's nine-year prison sentence for drug possession, rejecting her appeal in a session where she appeared via video call from a penal colony outside Moscow. Griner can still appeal to a higher court, but her lawyers have yet to confirm whether they will take the case further. The decision clears the way for the WNBA star to serve nine years in a penal colony, unless the U.S. government negotiates a deal. The eight-time all-star center with the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and a two-time Olympic gold medalist was convicted on August

Our exclusive 7NEWS/Emerson College poll shows the New Hampshire U.S. Senate race is a tight one, and it’s one that could determine the balance of power in the U.S. Senate. The poll of likely voters finds Democratic incumbent Senator Maggie Hassan leading Republican challenger Don Bolduc, 48% to 45%. Libertarian candidate Jeremy Kauffman is polling at 2%, while 4% of likely voters are undecided. With just two weeks away from the election, Sen. Hassan has just a 3% lead. Last month in our poll, the senator’s lead was eleven points. “Five weeks ago it looked like Hassan was in a

A group of 30 House liberals is urging President Biden to dramatically shift his strategy on the Ukraine war and pursue direct negotiations with Russia, the first time prominent members of his own party have pushed him to change his approach to Ukraine. A letter sent by the group to the White House on Monday, first reported by The Washington Post, could create more pressure on Biden as he tries to sustain domestic support for the war effort, at a time when the region is heading into a potentially difficult winter and Republicans are threatening to cut aid to Ukraine

Washington — Plastic recycling rates are declining even as production shoots up, according to a Greenpeace USA report out Monday that blasted industry claims of creating an efficient, circular economy as "fiction." Titled "Circular Claims Fall Flat Again," the study found that of 51 million tons of plastic waste generated by U.S. households in 2021, only 2.4 million tons were recycled, or around five percent. After peaking in 2014 at 10 percent, the trend has been decreasing, especially since China stopped accepting the West's plastic waste in 2018.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is under fire for claiming he doesn't know anyone who supports defunding the police despite appearing at a campaign event for Rep.

As the midterm elections near, election rights advocates have sounded the alarm about what they say are serious cases of voter intimidation and restrictions against voters who have trouble reading their ballot. In some jurisdictions, election officials have scaled back the number of people and resources used to help those voters at polling stations read and properly cast their ballot.

JONESBORO, Ga. – Carl Cox Jr., a 31-year-old software developer from Dallas, Georgia, northwest of Atlanta, voted for Democrat Raphael Warnock in the 2020 special election to fill the remaining two years of a U.S. Senate seat. But this year, he's having trouble getting excited about Georgia's U.S. Senate race, in which Warnock is running for reelection for a full six-year term. Cox pointed to the souring economy and his own "fatigue" with politics. He called Warnock, a second-year senator, a "lesser of two evils" in his reelection campaign against Republican Herschel Walker. And he cited the senator's support for abortion

Southern California law enforcement officials are warning residents to be extra cautious after a noted increase in crime and burglaries that are allegedly being committed by South American crime rings. The increase has been on the minds of many Angelenos in recent months, as follow-home robberies, catalytic converter thefts and a litany of other crimes have continued to make headlines. In July, police issued an alert to residents throughout the Southland, warning of an increase in robberies, and several law enforcement agencies have upped their task forces and patrols with seemingly no end in sight.

A week ago, Colorado senate republican candidate Joe O’Dea said on CNN, “I don’t think Donald Trump should run again.” He quickly added, ” I’m going to actively campaign against Donald Trump and make sure that we have got four or five really great Republicans right now; Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley and Tim Scott.” President Trump blasted O’Dea the following day. Today, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis picked Joe O’Dea as his only 2022 endorsed senate candidate, recording a robocall for O’Dea that says, “Hello this is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. America needs strong leadership and desperately. That’s why I’m endorsing Joe O’Dea for U.S. Senate. Colorado, please vote for Joe O’Dea.”

House Republicans have for months threatened to impeach Joe Biden and equally disastrous members of his administration for their intentional attempts to destroy America if — which is now pretty much when — the GOP retakes control of the House in the midterms, now just two weeks away. Apparently, those threats weren’t serious. At least not in Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s case. McCarthy last Wednesday downplayed talk of impeaching Biden or officials of the disastrous administration if the GOP regains control. Just one problem. Republican lawmakers have introduced more than a dozen impeachment resolutions targeting Biden, Kamala Harris, and controversial Cabinet members, including Attorney General Merrick Garland, Secretary of State Antony Blinken,

Michael Bennet (D-CO) in public opinion polls and last week made waves when he vowed to "actively campaign against" Trump and spoke favorably of other party heavyweights, including DeSantis. Sharing the article written by Washington Examiner senior political correspondent David Drucker on his Truth Social platform, Trump added a brief message. "A BIG MISTAKE!"

President Biden attacked Republicans in a speech to the Democratic National Committee headquarters on Monday, stoking claims that Republicans would "crash the economy" in an attempt to force him to gut Medicare. Biden also used the opportunity to coin the term "Mega-MAGA trickle down," which is how he has chosen to refer to Republican economic policies. The president went on to name House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, arguing that he and his fellow Republicans would grow the deficit by $3 trillion if their priorities were to pass. He also argued the party plans to use the deficit as a bludgeon against him.

Roughly halfway between Waco and Austin, the 80-year-old post is set to honor the Army’s first Hispanic four-star general and native Texan, the late Gen. Richard Cavazos.

One of the core strengths of the late, great, sorely missed, Rush Limbaugh was his ability and willingness to constantly reground his listeners concerning basic truths. We tend to forget basics in the heat of political battle, usually to the detriment of conservative causes and candidates. An excellent current example of this has to do with polling. I cannot believe how many conservative pundits, radio/podcast hosts and writers react to polls early in the season with dismay or even panic. “Beto is within three points of Abbot!” “Fetterman up seven over Oz? How can that be?” The answer is: you’re right, it can't be. It isn't true.
