This is going to be, I think, a big issue in the midterm elections.
Daniel, let's be clear.
We've never seen money like this in American politics.
For a lame duck president to have at his disposal $304 million in his super PAC to spend as he wishes, that is an extraordinarily powerful potential.
for the midterm elections and for the 2028 elections.
We see the Republicans have a big advantage on the Senate campaign committees, a big advantage on the Republican National Committee over the Democratic National Committee.
The Republicans have a lot of problems when they look at the midterm elections, but I can tell you money is not going to be one of them.
here's something that has been a big asset for president trump and the republicans suddenly has become a liability you know the the pictures that we saw out of minneapolis the two americans who were killed the picture of that five-year-old boy in a bunny hat
being taken by agents.
Those are things that resonated with some of Trump's own voters.
We've seen the president lose support among Hispanic voters and among older Republican women.
Some of that is because of concern about the tactics they saw being used on the streets of Minneapolis.
But the Republicans have a potential answer to this, which is to try to focus more attention
on immigration on the southern border, because that is where the president's support continues to be strong.
His administration has been largely successful in controlling the southern border in a way we didn't see during the Biden administration.
So can they get people to focus on that when they think about immigration and not about what they saw on the streets of Minneapolis?
You know, nine months is a long time.
That's time enough for things to change.
But if things stay the same as they are now, Democrats are quite confident that they will take control of the House of Representatives.
They only need to flip three seats to do that.
