CNN’s Harry Enten: “The GOP shouldn't be counting on a poll miss to win the Senate (though it's possible!). Democrats have actually been slightly more likely to outperform the polls in close Senate races since 1998. Same in 2018 (Trump's first midterm) and Dems outperformed in all 2022 close races.”

Republicans spurned by Trump aren't interested in rescuing their would-be replacements. Instead, a growing number of retiring or ousted GOP incumbents from Nevada to North Carolina are sitting those races out, and in some cases, openly bucking their own party.

🚨BREAKING: Brazil's President Lula, a vocal critic of Donald Trump, was reelected Sunday in a result that provides relief to critics of Trump and keeps some distance between Latin America's biggest economy and Washington.

this is total gobbledygook? the process to decide who should be certified as the winner is the election, and there is no federal law that says the courts get to decide who that is.
Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)
Why are major Democrats and Republicans flocking to Mississippi? In a climate where polls show Trump's approval ratings cratering, Democrats are unusually optimistic about Scott Colom's chances of flipping the Senate seat held by incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith — even in deep-red Mississippi.
A Black Democrat has a chance to win in Mississippi's Senate race Scott Colom has a shot to make history in Mississippi with massive Black voter turnout and fed-up White voters willing to back a Democrat.

Data centers have become a major risk for the politicians who support them, with less than two weeks left before the midterms. Half of Americans now oppose data centers being built within three miles of their home — nearly double the share of people who said the same back in January (28%).
