Shapiro being up 20+ points in GOP held swing districts does complicate some of the narratives you see on here.

"Yesterday was the first time a president had gone to Andrews to welcome a foreign leader in 6 decades. It was on April 1962, that John F. Kennedy went to Andrews to welcome the elected leader of our closest ally, British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan" thebulwark.com/p/trump-kowto…

How stupid could you possibly be?
🚨 JUST IN: President Trump reveals President Xi is a HUGE fan of his new helipad because it's made of granite "He has GREAT interest in granite. He likes granite. He's an EXPERT on stones." 🀣 "And he LOVES good granite!" This might be Trump's FAVORITE PART of the entire state visit as he loves nothing more than presenting his construction projects to important people πŸ˜… IT'S BEAUTIFUL. The White House needed this.

A big reason Dems are overperforming in the Midwest? Trump's tariffs/trade wars. Many Dem candidates in the region (Josh Turek in IA, Rebecca Cooke in WI) told me this. The bigger story is it shows right wing nationalist politics running out of steam: newrepublic.com/article/2146…

Man… TV… camera… no pool… no audio
As little-watched Real America's Voice mocks the TV press pool boycott, the MAGA outlet's own attempts this week to serve as the White House "pool feed" have been a bumbling and laughable mess, marked by incompetence and low-budget restraints.

This was absolutely a theme to what Alaska voters told me when I was reporting there a coupla weeks ago. Across parties.
For the midterms, I think corruption/self-dealing is issue 1b behind cost of living as 1a. It's not just that people feel things are unaffordable for themselves, they think those in power are helping rich friends get richer. From our latest "America in Focus" focus group...

One phone call from Rubio could help Maria Corina Machado return to Venezuela. Instead, she's been turned away 3 times this week, while Trump rolls out the red carpet for an authoritarian regime to protect his corrupt oil deal that steals resources from the Venezuelan people.
Venezuela's opposition leader, 2025 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Maria Corina Machado, was prevented from returning to the South American country from her exile in Panama three times in the past 24 hours. Machado is considered a fugitive by the Venezuelan government, which accuses her of calling for military intervention against the country. She has been unable to return to Venezuela since being covertly sneaked out of the country in December by a private U.S. rescue team to accept her Nobel Prize in Norway. "During the last 24 hours, MarΓ­a Corina Machado has been denied entry into Venezuela three times," the politician's senior adviser said in a statement shared with CBS News' Margaret Brennan. "She has attempted to enter the country by air and sea but has been turned away each time."
