New mailer from this pop-up PAC, which is trying to get a conspiracy theorist over the line in the Dem primary (to help the GOP win the seat). "When Maureen is in Congress, Donald Trump will be arrested."

The mystery Lead Left PAC is back! This time in the #TX35 Dem primary This is an interesting one. The PAC spent $43K on mailers boosting Maureen Galindo (D), a "sex therapist" in a primary runoff w Johnny Garcia (D) for this new Trump +10 seat DCCC/Blue Dogs are backing Garcia

There is, of course, no hard evidence yet the group is AIPAC-backed. But I don’t think either the McMorrow or El-Sayed campaigns are going to wait for an FEC report to start attacking.

Freshly-formed super PAC laying down more than $3M in ad buys in support of Haley Stevens in Michigan, per ad-buying source. Widely assumed to be AIPAC-backed. If true, will be the biggest test of the group’s influence on Democratic politics this cycle. @ryangrim had it first.

New: The apparent GOP meddling campaign in Nebraska's 2nd District is prompting some head-scratching among Democrats. Rs seems to want to run against the moderate candidate who would NOT give them an outside shot at eliminating Omaha's electoral vote. huffpost.com/entry/republic…

Obama's "You didn't build that" was treated by Republicans in 2012 like a major gaffe. I have a memory of giant signs at the RNC in Tampa that year that said, "WE BUILT IT" (which were sort of ominous if you didn't know the context tbh—what did they build?) But when I talked to Romney years later, he said it was a mistake to frame his campaign message around "job creators." As he noted, most voters are not bosses themselves—most voters don't particularly like their bosses. Whatever you think of its merits, a rousing defense of America's business-builders is not how you win national elections. Trump got this in 2016, and pitches his message to workers. (His actual governing record is a separate question...)

Obama was so real for this

I think the key point here is that this is only the "finish" for 2026 -- Dems have a LOT of upside for 2028, and whats Rs are doing now makes it a lot more likely that some states (MN, CO) that would have been squishy about acting are going to move.
Liam P. Donovan@LPDonovan

Still not convinced the arms race was worth it, but talk about a wild finish, with the one two punch of VA and Callais prompting Rs to dig deeper without actually delivering the countervailing windfall to Ds.

Brutal last 10 days for Dems in redistricting: - Callais decision significantly weakens VRA, opening the door for more redraws - TN Republicans pass 9-0 congressional map - LA on track to eliminate at least 1 Dem seat - VA Supreme Court overturns Dems' 10-1 map

SCOOP: Campaign staff are gaming prediction markets using internal data to make timely bets on their candidates — winning “thousands.” One staffer told me it would have been “foolish” not to bet. Another staffer called it the “Wild West” npr.org/2026/05/07/nx-…

Trump implies that Nate Morris is going to leave the Kentucky Senate race. Elon Musk spent $10 million to help Morris, but it didn’t seem to get him much vote share.
