Pretty rich for Haley Stevens to lecture Abdul El-Sayed about “hate” over an ad his campaign has explicitly disavowed while Mike Rogers is running one of the most racist and bigoted campaigns I’ve ever seen. The hate in this race is being directed at Abdul, not coming from him.

Wow, Haley Stevens just took a two by four to Abdul el-Sayed on CNN. She says he hasn’t done enough to denounce hate and that black and Jewish voters are telling her they are uncomfortable with him.

Mike Duggan won his first mayoral race in Detroit despite running as a write-in vs another write-in recruited to defeat him: a local barber named Mike Dugeon. Is it underhanded? Sure. Is it worse than any of Trump’s efforts to literally steal elections? Not even close

Just a reminder, John F. Kennedy won his first race for Congress by recruiting a janitor with the same name of the incumbent to run for office. This is an old trick, and a dirty trick, but it’s by no means unprecedented.

Biggest misconception on Election Night (that leads to other misconceptions) is that no candidate takes or loses the lead. The winner is already decided; all the votes exist. It's just a matter of: In what order is the score, or rather votes, revealed? 1/ ...

Jake Bauers gifted Pat Murphy the final out ball. Murphy thanked him and told him “You’re gonna be a rich fucker. Just remember when you’re on that horse shit Yankee team and you’re all playing for yourselves….just remember this is way we used to do it” #ThisIsMyCrew

Mike Rogers is running the most racist campaign in the country and will be a vote to fund Trump’s internment camps. Supporting him in the name of concerns about bigotry is ludicrous.

The butthurt handling of this primary defeat by Haley Stevens and now her fiance after they had tens of millions in outside money spent on her behalf is appalling. The next SecDef or a Trump SCOTUS judge is on the line here! Totally pathetic & reveals that the loss was deserved

Trump's anti-Muslim remarks about Abdul El-Sayed at a recent rally in Michigan are astonishing—even by recent standards, @GrahamDavidA argues. In The Atlantic Daily, he explores the damage of the president's bigotry: theatlantic.com/newsletters/…
Islamophobia Is Trump’s Closing Midterm Gambit

Islamophobia Is Trump’s Closing Midterm Gambit

President Trump and his allies are ending the campaign with naked but nonsensical appeals to anti-Muslim bigotry.
