But what you failed to notice is that it didn't say it's sinking. Because it's actually been rising lately. And I've got some news for you: Biden is not on the ballot. And polls of how voters intend to vote have been shifting towards the Democrats.

That's still not enough to stop a Republican majority in the House but the Senate is looking better for the Democrats. Even if we have to take the word of that radical leftist, Mitch McConnell.

Yeah, the Senate will be interesting. There are going to be some fun races to watch- Pennsylvania having Fettermann vs. DR Oz. Trust fund baby vs. actual rich guy.   Warnock vs. Walker in Georgia- two rather tainted candidates. 

 

I wonder if the President will do any actual campaigning for any of his candidates, or even if they actually WANT him to campaign for them.

I thought conservatives liked trust fund babies--Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump...

You would think that Fetterman would have acquired enough manners during his upbringing to send Trump a thank-you note for backing Oz to be the Republican candidate.

Here's a story that originally appeared in the Wall St. Journal. Hard to reconcile what it reports with a recession. The second link has no paywall.
