Brutal story here for @JDVance. Republicans have so little confidence in him that they’re floating his return to the Senate instead of the 2028 presidential.
On election night, @JDVance’s phone buzzed.
A confidant texted with uncomfortable advice: perhaps he should consider sitting out 2028.
Some allies now tell the VP they no longer believe any Republican can win a presidential election in two years.
Story with @natalieandrews:

NEW: GOP Rep. Ashley Hinson lost Iowa's Senate race after a GOP super PAC spent nearly $51 million.
That's nearly $80 for every vote she got.
ALT Ashley Hinson and scattered $100 bills

The cover of next week's The New Yorker: "Sea Change" by Barry Blitt.
It features James Talarico, Abdul El-Sayed, Keisha Lance Bottoms, Amy Acton, Troy Jackson, and Gina Hinojosa.

Few did more to contribute to the debacle the @gop just endured than Stephen Miller. The backlash to his brutal ICE raids and nativist rants can be seen in returns all over the country.
And for that, he's.:.PROMOTED?!?!

Stephen Miller is the most dangerous person in Trump’s administration and should be fired instead of promoted.
Americans overwhelmingly voted to end the chaos and lower costs. Stephen Miller has done nothing but sow hatred and foster corruption.

The GOP mayor of Oklahoma City.
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.

"If the pool was finally operating as the administration always hoped it would, it’s not clear the president was," @Kevinliptakcnn reports.
"His speech, billed as his final message to the electorate before a new Congress is chosen this week, was not the high-level contrast with Democrats some Republicans had hoped for. It was instead a subdued, very granular accounting of all the problems Trump said he fixed in the plumbing of the 2,000-foot-long pool, including rusty pipes, old joints, regraded rebar and 'tremendous algae.'"

Iowa is in the midst of a cancer crisis, and what is Miller-Meeks doing? Lying to Iowans.
Enough is enough. #IA01

Trump's pre-midterm event touting Reflecting Pool renovations was "bizarre," @DavidChalian says:
In polling, "only a quarter of Americans say he's focused on the right priorities. And this was like exhibit A through Z of that."

Trump: "We're giving serious thought to changing the name to the Trump Reflecting Pool"

This is it. Tomorrow is Election Day.
For nearly 15 months, we have traveled to all 99 counties, meeting Iowans and hearing what they’re facing. Everywhere I go, I hear the same thing: Iowans are hurting.
Tomorrow, we have a generational chance to change this state and fix this country. Let’s do this.

here's the entirety of the seeming mental breakdown Haley Stevens just had on CNN. One of the most bizarre and incoherent political interviews I can recall. Note how she's completely unable to explain why she changed her mind from supporting Abdul El-Sayed last night to endorsing Mike Rogers today.
