"When [will] the so-called 'Inflation Reduction Act' will really start to bring down inflation?" Biden economic advisor Cecilia Rouse: "Next year. For example, there are tax credits for energy to help people weatherize their homes."

Independent Women Go Hard Republican

Women and independent voters who are worried about the economy and inflation are trending to Republicans with just over three weeks to go before election day. 49% of likely voters plan on voting for a Republican while 45% plan to vote for a Democrat according to a brand new poll from The New York Times. One of the most significant shifts was seen in independent voters who support Republicans by 10 points in October after supporting Democrats by three points just last month.

The polling trend illustrates a trajectory that favors Republicans with voters less concerned about abortion and more worried about the economy and inflation. Here are the takeaways.

🚨 Independent female voters: September D +14, October R +18

Most important issues to voters: Economy 26, Inflation 18, Abortion 5

Biden job approval: 39%

Generic ballot: GOP +4

Walker's opening statement: “This race ain’t about me. It’s about what Joe Biden and Raphael Warnock have done to you and your family. Tonight, [Warnock is] going to try to sweet talk you that he’s doing a good job, but his record speaks for itself.” #GASenDebate

KY Liberty Virtue @KYLibertyVirtue

This was a big highlight of the debate tonight. Herschel Walker is pro-life and a redeemed Christian! God has redeemed his mental health issues. God will forgive Senator Warnock too for saying that God is pro choice while God has called for life as we are his children.

Brady’s Meltdown

Tom Brady is allegedly getting a divorce from his supermodel wife over his decision to leave retirement and play one more season in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sunday’s loss to another underwhelming opponent may be calling his decision into question.
