NEW from me: With under a week to go in what many polls are showing as a still tight Senate race, Abdul El-Sayed hasn’t called his former primary opponent Haley Stevens in months — and there are no plans for them to campaign together before election day.

re Netanyahu from the Florida race about Israel--
GOP Scott Singer: “a transformative leader.”
Dem Jared Moskowitz: “Ultimately, Israel could use a new face ... It’s not going to, by the way, fundamentally change what’s happening on the far left"
cnn.com/2026/10/27/politics/…
Republican House candidate Scott Singer, who’s focused much on antisemitism among Democrats, on Trump’s use of “Shylock” last week:
Asked if he could point to an example outside of a production of “The Merchant of Venice” when it wasn’t used in an antisemitic way, Singer said, “just as a lender. I remember the movie ‘Get Shorty,’ John Travolta used it.” cnn.com/2026/10/27/politics/…
“They wanted my voice gone. That voice is not only not going anywhere, that voice is now pissed,” Moskowitz says, of efforts, including from his DSA primary opponent, to stop the way he's taken to standing by Israel.
NEW from me - Israeli elections are today, but Israel politics are also playing out in what has become the most expensive House election in the country--in South Florida, as Rep. Jared Moskowitz faces off against GOP Scott Singer... but also other Dems

Patrick Gaspard, Obama's political director, says pushback to another Harris run is like boxers that didn't want an Ali comeback:
"They were saying that not b/c they were worried Muhammad Ali would fall flat on his face—they were worried he would win.”

CNN's @IsaacDovere sat down with Kamala Harris and asked her about her thinking about 2028. "What she said is a lot of people are running just to look in the mirror. We need people who are going to look at the American people and what they want."
“I’m sure there are many who think that I should just sit at home and eat bonbons and cook Doug’s favorite foods,” Harris said of her midterm campaigning. “I could cook Doug’s favorite foods *and* do this.”
cnn.com/2026/10/26/politics/…
Harris on what's ahead, politically:
“The American people want leaders who aren’t just occupied with looking in the mirror. They want leaders who are looking at the people, you know?” she said. “And they can tell the difference.”
Kamala Harris to me, backstage last week in Mississippi, on her thinking about running for president again -- which she acknowledges can only go on so long:
“I go back and forth. I honestly go back and forth ... There’s so many factors.”

Had a little chat with someone about her thoughts on 2026, 2028 and even 2032 — coming tomorrow morning on cnn.com ….
In case you missed from the weekend: my story from New Hampshire on Raphael Warnock’s midterms push, his faith being tested, the prayer he’s been saying since he was a boy, and where that maybe leads him for 2028… cnn.com/2026/10/11/politics/…
“God is not a Democrat. And contrary to what people seem to think, God is not a Republican,” Warnock said. "I think God’s on the side of seniors who are having to decide whether they’re going to buy groceries or buy medicine.”

“Look, I know that in a matter of months,” Warnock said, “I’ll be in a race.”
NEW from me - in New Hampshire, asked about running for president, Raphael Warnock told me the prayer he’s been saying since he was a boy for God to direct his path:
“My prayer is that I can be used to do the most good with the gifts that I have.” cnn.com/2026/10/11/politics/…
Over breakfast in Portsmouth NH, Warnock told me his own faith has been tested the last few years:
“Any thinking person of faith living through a moment like this has some questions for God: ‘Why are we here? I can’t believe we’re doing this again.’”

Another 2028 wrinkle into 2026 - Beshear gave $1M from the DGA to Hinojosa in Texas, but got $1M from Pritzker into the DGA on a phone call when Pritzker pushed for more investment in Texas, though the money wasn't earmarked cnn.com/2026/10/09/politics/…
NEW from me - Andy Beshear hoped being chair of the Dem Govs Assoc this midterms year would raise his profile and connections ahead of his expected 2028 run.
But it’s also created an opening for Latino leader to ramp up pressure on him over Texas:
cnn.com/2026/10/09/politics/…
El-Sayed to me on some of the pushback he's still getting:
“I’m not the Democrat the Democrats want, but I am the Democrat that Democrats have. And I am decidedly not a Republican. But this is what I’ll tell you: I am a Democrat that Michiganders want."
cnn.com/2026/10/07/politics/…
NEW from me, on the ground in Michigan, where El-Sayed is getting a celebrity reception from crowds but frustration from some key leaders who feel dismissed, calling Hasan Piker to get him to quiet down, and predicting a 7 point win:
