Incredible to do this after days of conservatives saying that Obama’s Cheesecake Factory joke shows that he’s an elitist who hates Middle America. Beginning to think he’s got a huge Kalshi bet on Dems taking the Senate.

If the six or so "core" wealthy Commonwealth states pull out or just stop taking it seriously (which already happens under right-wing administrations), the Commonwealth just becomes a talking-shop of have-nots. Maybe that's what the Caribbean wants, but I think it's stupid.
