24. I've now written off the senate entirely.

Mon Jul 6, 2026, 06:54 PM

Yesterday

The good news is the House is still very much in play and there are some governor seats that could be pick ups out there. That’s not nothing. We were always going to have to over perform and thread the needle with the senate anyway because of Yogurt Brain Fetterman. Now that it’s off the table resources can be shifted to achieving more realistic goals. I’m still optimistic Talarico can win in Texas though.
