Honored to be an early supporter of Ret. Major Richard Ojeda. He can absolutely flip #NC09.
Major Ojeda spent 24 years in the Army, serving tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.

News - DCCC going up with six-figure ad buy against GOP campaign chief Richard Hudson in #NC09
Trump won this seat by *16* points
But Dem candidate Richard Ojeda - a Army vet of 20+ years - thinks he can flip a red seat that's home to Ft. Bragg

My belief is that this sudden change has nothing to do with maximizing trump’s time. The multiple protestors at his hate rallies have really bothered trump because he can’t handle the truth. He now wants to be coddled in his safe space. Weak.
NEWS: Trump's in-person Iowa rally this weekend, scheduled for Dubuque on Sunday, has been canceled and replaced with a tele-rally, according to three sources familiar with the decision. The idea is to maximize Trump’s time and reach as many voters as possible, one source said, and tele-rallies allow him to cover more ground.

I am not saying trump wants Republicans to lose the midterms. But if he did, could anyone tell the difference?
-Gas prices skyrocketed
-Diesel prices skyrocketed
-Grocery prices skyrocketed
And what is trump talking about? John Husted’s ass.
It should be obvious now that there’s a part of Donald Trump that wants the Republicans to lose the midterm elections next week. Why else would he say what he said at that Georgia rally on Saturday? trib.al/B8uwEWy

Honored to join the amazing Amish Shah in Phoenix yesterday! Dr. Shah is an emergency medicine doctor and a former Arizona legislator. He is also a Red to Blue candidate who will help flip the House!

Another bad inflation report. The Federal Reserve’s preferred measure of inflation (PCE) rose again, this time to 3.6%, the highest since May.
The economic policies of trump and his rubber-stamp Republicans suck.
November is coming.
JUST IN: The US still has an inflation problem and it's getting worse again.
PCE Inflation rose to 3.6% in September. That's the highest since May.
Core PCE Inflation (excludes food and energy) ticked up to 3.1%. That's also the highest since May.
Bottom line: Inflation is back near a 3-year high. It's largely due to war in Iran, but there's legitimate concern that inflation is spreading beyond energy.

Dear American people: If any of you are called to serve as jurors or grand jurors in a federal case, remember that @AGToddBlanche brags that he has no independence from trump.
When you vote, remember that the trump DOJ is enforcing the rule of trump instead of the rule of law.
It was once extremely rare for grand jurors to rebuff prosecutors and turn down a request for an indictment, given that the Justice Department has traditionally sought criminal charges only in cases it expects to win. But prosecutors have become increasingly convinced they will be unable to bring any indictment that is seen as political while Trump is in office.

Dear @AGToddBlanche: Republicans failed to do basic oversight over your abuse of power. That failure ends 11/3.
Your unethical and illegal conduct, as well as your enablers, will be shown to the American people and to relevant current and future authorities.
November is coming.
Federal grand juries approve 99.9% of indictments. The Trump admin has failed with:
Cassidy Hutchinson
Letitia James
Sens. Mark Kelly & Elissa Slotkin
Reps. Jason Crow, Chrissy Houlahan, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander
Sean Dunn
Sidney Reid (three times)
Nathalie Jones
I could go on. Whatever your politics, it’s not a great look.
It is possible there is a systematic polling error in favor of Democrats for the midterms. However, I simply note that Republicans believe the same data we are seeing. Otherwise Republicans wouldn’t be spending so much time and money defending deep red territory.
President Trump is barnstorming deep-red states across the country to defend GOP majorities in Congress as Democrats make inroads in some unlikely places.
The president has made 19 stops to states he handily won and six to battlegrounds since Sept. 9, according to ABC News tracking.

As a former prosecutor, I agree with the saying that any prosecutor “can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich.”
So when the grand jury refused to indict Cassidy Hutchinson, that means there was no real evidence. Another huge embarrassment for the corrupt @AGToddBlanche.
Breaking news: A grand jury rejected the DOJ’s attempt to indict former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson for the account she gave lawmakers of President Trump’s actions during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to people familiar with the matter. wapo.st/4jFAkbz
