Clip of the day:
Bad News For Stacey
Brand new polling released this morning from the AJC shows Brian Kemp with a double-digit lead over Stacey Abrams while Herschel Walker holds relatively steady against Raphael Warnock. The polling was conducted after The Daily Beast abortion story was published on Herschel Walker. The news is considered positive for Walker since previous AJC polling has marginally overcounted Democrat support. Check out the full story here.
John Fetterman Is Not Well
The Democrat running in Pennsylvania against Dr. Oz required closed-captioned technology for his first sit-down interview since suffering a stroke earlier this year. The interview was with Dasha Burns from NBC who reported afterward that “it wasn’t clear he (John Fetterman) understood what I was saying.” Watch for yourself:
My take:
Blatant Border Lies
Remember the border patrol agents who were publically rebuked by the White House and investigated by every three-letter agency in DC for allegedly whipping Haitian migrants at the border? Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was informed the story was inaccurate just hours before publically condemning the agents along with President Biden. The Heritage Foundation obtained emails through a FOIA request that debunked the White House narrative. Go deeper with Fox News.
Biden’s Oregon Blues
Republicans are on the verge of breaking a 20-year drought in the bright blue state of Oregon. The situation is so dire for Democrats that Politico is reporting Joe Biden is scheduling a stop to help the floundering Democratic gubernatorial candidate with less than four weeks to go ahead of election day. A moderate former Democrat running as an independent has pulled enough votes from the Democratic candidate to make the race a statistical tie between the Democrat and Republican candidates. Go deeper with RCP and Politico.
