Jeff Landry of orchestrating an effort to oust him by ‘disenfranchising’ voters ahead of the election. The embattled GOP incumbent is launching a last-ditch voter-education campaign to nab votes.

Cassidy's campaign says that voters are being blocked from participating in Saturday's newly-closed primary bc of the "confusing" elections process created by the state.
Per his campaign manager, Katie Larkin: "It’s not an accident that voters are confused by this intentionally difficult process. The Governor closed the primary and continuously meddled in this election to support Julia Letlow. Right now we are hearing from No Party voters who don’t understand the Landry-created confusing Declaration of Ballot Choice and are being blocked from voting in the U.S. Senate race."

Senate Rs are still skeptical of the details around the $1B ballroom project following a briefing w/ USSS Director Sean Curran. A number of them are asking for further detail. Young: "I could be supportive of more security funding. I could be supportive of a certain measure of ballroom funding, which I think is defensible. But they need to go back and get us more details about how they arrived at the figure." Rick Scott: "I think bottom line, people want to be supportive. They want security for the president. But they want more detail. Tillis: "I think part of what we have to do is be clear on what the $1B is for. ... Because otherwise, it just looks like a billion dollars going into something that we all thought was going to cost around $400 million that was paid for by private contributions."

In normal times with a normally functioning government, planning for the reconstruction of Ukraine once the war ends already would be well underway at the White House and the State Department. But these are not normal times.

We are constantly hearing predictions that the soaring price of gasoline and diesel will cost President Trump and Republicans much more than it has already. But how much more can it hurt?

The slim GOP majorities in both chambers mean that renegades like Sen. Thom Tilis have more power than usual—if they decide to use it.

A lack of landslides means that voters are not giving clear guidance on the direction that the country should go or what kind of leaders they want.
