Nowhere is the Iran war a bigger midterm issue than in Virginia's 2nd district, a veteran-vs-veteran campaign in an area heavily populated by veterans. Read this great @maddiecarlisle2 piece on a race that could determine the House majority: theatlantic.com/politics/202…

“Don’t make me walk in shit.” If you're going to read one dispatch on Susan Collins, make it this from @russellberman at the Fryeburg Fair theatlantic.com/politics/202…

an incredible aside in @russellberman's dispatch from Maine on Susan Collins
theatlantic.com/politics/202…
Join me on a stroll with Susan Collins through the Fryeburg Fair, where she stepped over cow manure ("Don't make me walk in shit.") and tried to change the subject from Trump to home heating oil and the billions she's brought back to Maine: theatlantic.com/politics/202…

Maine should be among the easiest states for Democrats to flip in their drive for a majority, but Susan Collins may be the GOP’s most resilient senator, @russellberman reports. Can she defy the political odds one more time? theatlantic.com/politics/202…

President Trump loves “handsome” men, especially the muscular ones.

Nancy Lacore was sacked by Pete Hegseth. Now she’s running for Congress as a Democrat in South Carolina’s Low Country and testing how deep into GOP territory the party can advance, @RussellBerman reports. theatlantic.com/politics/202…
“Anybody who tells you it’s not a tough district doesn’t know what they’re talking about,” a Charleston-based Democratic strategist, told me. But “if there’s a candidate that can win this race right now, it’s Nancy Lacore.” theatlantic.com/politics/202…
How will you know if the midterms are really a blue wave? Watch the race for Nancy Mace's seat in South Carolina. Democrats won the seat in 2018, and now a former Navy Reserve chief fired by Hegseth is trying to flip it back. My report from Charleston: theatlantic.com/politics/202…

NEW @TheAtlantic The predicted blue wave seems to grow by the day, @RussellBerman reports. Can a Navy veteran sail it to victory in South Carolina? theatlantic.com/politics/202…

President Trump said the “American dream is back.” Rural Arizonans don’t think so. Always read @yvonnewingett theatlantic.com/politics/202…

Driving through Arizona on a Saturday morning, I saw a line of cars nearly a mile long stopped along a high-desert highway. I slowed, thinking there had been an accident. Then I realized that all of those people were waiting in line for food.
Weeks later, I went back to try to understand what was going on: Going Hungry in Trump’s Economy
The president said the “American dream is back.” Rural Arizonans don’t think so.

From @russellberman's must-read Kathy Hochul story—a relevant nugget of the Hochul-Mamdani relationship:
Russell Berman retweeted
Once dogged by criticism that she’s in over her head, Kathy Hochul has kept Donald Trump at bay while securing Zohran Mamdani’s support—and built a political comeback in the process, @russellberman writes: theatln.tc/QSryqVNM
Russell Berman retweeted
Kathy Hochul isn’t an A-list political celebrity—but she has earned the respect of a party that dismissed her not long ago, @russellberman writes. He spoke with the governor about her comeback: theatln.tc/QSryqVNM

Hochul says here Trump admitted he didn't endorse Stefanik because Blakeman looks more like a governor to him.

"When I asked her what had prepared her to deal with prideful men such as Trump and Cuomo, she turned not to any professional or political experience but to child-rearing. 'I’ve raised toddlers. I’ve raised teenagers,' Hochul said." theatlantic.com/politics/202…
