New poll shows Oz topping John Fetterman: |
Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Mehmet Oz is narrowly leading his Democratic opponent, John Fetterman, after last week's debate, according to a new poll from Emerson College and The Hill. The numbers: Oz leads Fetterman 48 percent to 46 percent. The poll's margin for error is 3 points, so it's extremely close. More from the poll |
|
|
➤ THIS IS RISKY BUSINESS: |
Former President Trump will appear with Oz in a rally on Sunday. Why this is risky: "Oz has distanced himself from Trump's claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election and has tried to project a moderate image in his race against Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D), a stark contrast with gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano (R), an election denier who will also share the state with Trump Saturday." How this could alter the risk in the final days before the election, via The Hill's Alexander Bolton |

Arizona's GOP Senate candidate Blake Masters got a big boost this week when a third-party candidate, Libertarian Marc Victor dropped out. Why this is big: Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) has been considered the favorite to win reelection, but now the race is much closer. How the Libertarian candidate was polling: Around 2.7 percent to 6 percent in recent polls. That's a big chunk of voters who would potentially shift their support to the GOP nominee. Smaller plot twist to the plot twist: "Victor's name, however, will remain at the ballot, meaning that he will still be a visible option for voters. And, as of Wednesday morning, more than 1 million voters have already returned their ballots since early voting began on Oct. 12." How this race could play out based on similar scenarios, via The Hill's Al Weaver |
|
|
➤ EVERYONE WANTS TO BE THE SQUEAKY WHEEL: |
In an interview with The Daily Mail's Rob Crilly, Arizona's Republican Senate nominee, Blake Masters, suggested that he would be "a thorn in the side" of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) if he is elected. In Masters' words: "I'm not going to try to make his life miserable for the sake of it. But I'm going to be happy to be independent." Masters praised Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) for her style of legislating |

Ted Cruz is asking Trump — Where's the dough??: |
"Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is calling out former President Donald Trump for not spending more of his $100 million war chest to boost Republican Senate candidates ahead of next week's midterm elections." Cruz is also critical of McConnell: "Cruz also accused Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) of withholding critical political dollars from 'pro-Trump' candidates, while funneling money into races where 'moderates' and Trump critics are running." Cruz's full comments on his podcast, 'Verdict with Ted Cruz' |

If Republicans win control of the House in November, investigating the origins and response to COVID-19 is on the top of their to-do list. Specifically: "Republicans are frustrated with what they see as the administration's unaccountable coronavirus spending and are looking to shine a spotlight onto where the trillions of dollars doled out by the White House has gone." What to expect, via The Hill's Nathaniel Weixel |
|
|
➤ WHAT ELSE TO EXPECT IF GOP WIN CONGRESSIONAL MAJORITIES: |
|
|
Cases to date: 97.3 million Death toll: 1,066,351 Current hospitalizations: 20,938 |
| Shots administered: 636 million Fully vaccinated: 68.4 percent CDC data here. |
