"Kansas hasn't elected a Democratic senator in 94 years. So there is a hurdle there, but it looks like [Adam] Hamilton is in a position where he can actually do it. … We're moving it from tilting Republican – so that would be in favor of [Sen. Roger] Marshall – to pure toss-up. Inside Elections' @nathanlgonzales discusses the battleground senate race in Kansas.

.@kennaninstitute's Michael Kimmage on U.S. strategy toward Russia & ending the war in Ukraine: "I have not found in the speeches and statements of the president or of his administration a clear sense of 'we are going to go here' or 'we're going to go there.'" @MimiGeerges: "Why Not?" @mkimmage: "I think the more accurate answer, probably, is that the administration itself doesn’t know."

Cook Political Report founder @CharlieCookDC talks about voters disillusionment with both parties and why he expects there will be a "red undertow" instead of a "blue wave" in the midterm elections: "To me, when you say a blue wave, it's suggesting that we love democrats and we agree with everything that they want to do— well that's not happening," says Cook. "This is more of a referendum on President Trump and the party in power."

Reid Wilson (@PoliticsReid), founder and editor-in-chief of @PluribusNews, shares his thoughts on the Ohio governor's race and Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign: "The polls consistently show that Amy Acton is a little bit ahead— and I don't mean one or two points, I mean five to seven points. And in Ohio— a state that has trended to the right in recent years— that's remarkable."

.@NEWSMAX's John Gizzi on President Trump's midterm travel blitz across red states and his pitch to voters: "Pretend I'm on the ballot." “People may not turn out as much without the name Donald Trump on the ballot, but this time they just might if they see the significance of electing Republicans at the Senate and House level.”

"There are many of my colleagues who think that Trump is trying to do Putin's will, period – I've never agreed with that," says fmr. U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine @JohnEdHerbst. "But we have to make sure we don't reward Putin's bad behavior, and that's what we're doing right now."

.@KFFHealthNews chief Washington correspondent Julie Rovner (@jrovner) responds to the Trump administration sending $500 refund checks to nearly one million Obamacare enrollees: "There's a lot of questions of whether sending refunds back to individuals is really improving the program or not, and there's a lot of questions of whether the president even has the legal authority to do this," says Rovner. "It's always nice to get a check but it's probably not even making up the difference in what you're paying this year compared to last year."
