Talarico making Musk an issue in the final days of Texas Senate race. Democrats have been internally debating how much to explicitly run against Musk and his money.
NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads?
Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them.

#OHGOV: Amy Acton's campaign running search ads for voters who may have seen Vivek Ramaswamy's ad with her estranged mom
SMP made a $20M reservation in Michigan in May. I am … skeptical of the idea that they could or would have canceled it if Stevens were the nominee.

NEW from me: Beth Fuller was a 10-year CDC contractor when she was DOGE'd last year by Trump + Elon Musk, a mass layoff process cheered by the GOP.
Now she's a candidate in a key swing district who could help flip the Georgia state House to Dems. huffpost.com/entry/beth-full…
