Dan Hicks’ call of the Michael Phelps-Jason Lezak relay from the 2008 Olympics will long live as one of the greatest ever.
Rest in peace to a legend.

A record breaking loss by Rep. DesJarlais.
At this point, Democrats seem most likely to end up winning 59 seats that Donald Trump won in 2024.

Huge congrats to my former Chief of Staff @killinforco (and her team/family) for an amazing victory in C-05. She is going to be an incredible Representative for her district and for our country. Go Jess!!!! 🇺🇸
I am honored and immensely grateful that El Paso County voters have entrusted me to serve them as their next Representative. Thank you to everyone who participated in this election, and to the many volunteers and supporters who made this victory possible. Together, we made history. This is just the start. We will make an even greater impact by finally delivering the representation this district deserves. I want you to know how deeply committed and resolved I am to represent you in a way this congressional district has not seen for far too long… maybe ever. To every resident of Colorado’s Fifth District, whether you voted for me or not: I commit to listening to you and working for you. Colorado’s Fifth District deserves a representative who will put service above politics, who will fight to lower costs, restore integrity to our government, and make sure every Coloradan has the opportunity to achieve the American Dream. I am ready for that fight, and I am grateful to every person who has made this possible. The work and the movement continue. We are just getting started.

Reporter: "Senator Hyde-Smith all but declared victory last night. I want to get your response."
Colom: "Bless her heart."

A political party that is morally and intellectually bankrupt deserves the rebuke of the American people.
It is now time to make America good again.
That is an endeavor to which all Americans can contribute, for we are not Democrats, Republicans or Independents. We are humans, and the things that unite us far exceed the things that divide us.
We are the caretakers of the American experiment, and the experiment has been rejuvenated tonight.

Look for @scott_colom to increase his lead. There are still several precincts left out of the total for Clay County where only 78% of the vote has been counted. I represented Clay County for 16 years, you can bet the Colom numbers there will grow his raw vote totals. Every other county is at 95%+ in according to @nytimes #MississippiMatters #MSSenate

For those watching Mississippi, know that the only county left of the counts you are seeing is Holmes County. That county has an 85% African-American population. Hold tight, folks. I won Holmes County 4,918 to 834. @scott_colom will carry it even bigger.

Medgar Evers was killed in his driveway because he refused to accept a Mississippi where some were denied the right to vote.
He stood with thousands who marched, organized and sacrificed so future generations could have a voice. We owe it to them not to take that right for granted. On Tuesday, honor their legacy. Vote.

.@OfficialWRC confirms next summer's Rally U.S. event will be held across more than 15 counties in Tennessee and Kentucky from the Appalachian Mountains to the Cumberland Plateau, with Knoxville the host city.
➡️ There will be a ceremonial start on Lower Broadway in Nashville.
The Memphis Grizzlies now have 4 wins in 6 days 🐻
Don’t recommend doing that math for the other Tennessee team that wears light blue.

The moment you learn the backstory, it becomes apparent that this might actually be the worst political attack ad in American history.
BOMBSHELL:
Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton’s own mother urges voters not to vote for her daughter.
“My name is Donna Arthur and I’m Amy Acton’s mother. I worked at Children and Family Service Association, building one of the first two sexual abuse programs in America.
I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about her opponent—and it’s not easy for a mother to say this—but Amy has a serious problem.
She is a liar. She lies about her past. She says she grew up living in a tent. None of that is true. She’s lied her entire life.
My daughter needs help, and she can’t help you if she needs help herself. People can change, but first they have to tell the truth, and my daughter still isn’t doing that.
Don’t vote for people who lie. Don’t let her become your governor. If you think she’ll make your life better, you’re fooling yourself. It will only get worse.”
That’s one hell of an October surprise.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Acton's mother lost custody of her children after years of documented issues, including time spent living in a tent and a spouse who sexually abused her daughter Amy (Acton). Amy Acton's brother has also confirmed this story.

I don’t think you have a dog in this fight but if you did you would have shot it.
I’ll take @ellalangleymsic over Kacey Musgraves any day.
And if I’m choosin’ Texas, I’ll take Ken Paxton over James Talarico.
