Attitudes are similar between Republicans and Democrats. The biggest divide is among generations, with younger ppl much more likely to use them (37%) & trust in their predictive power

🚨 House GOP Leadership in new joint statement announce that they have asked Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) to WITHDRAW from his re-election campaign.

[Sam Lisker @slisker]

Sen. Cornyn when asked by @ChadPergram a short time ago about President Trump's anticipated announcement regarding a TX GOP Senate primary endorsement.

"I think you should ask him."

Cornyn would not answer if he would drop out of the race if Trump doesn't endorse him.

Oh look Gene Steratore agreed with the call on the field and then it was wrong and now he agrees with the new call. That’s crazy.

[Computer Cowboy @benbbaldwin]

I would be annoyed if I were a Bills fan about the DPIs given that there wasn't a flag on the play on the prior Bills drive that very well could have been flagged. Among other reasons

[Matthew Bové @Matt_Bove]

Josh Allen deserves blame. He did not play well.

But the WR problems were not overblown.

Allen was 20/25 for 247 yards & a TD when throwing to his TEs, RBs, & Khalil Shakir.

When targeting the Bills four other WRs he was 5/14 for 36 yards with 1 TD & 2 INT.

Moments after Trump’s comments about her late husband, Hanan Elatr Khashoggi tells @scrippsnews “I’m willing to meet with the president and give him the right idea about my husband and to seek his help for a full justice for myself and my husband.”

The widow of the late journalist Jamal Khashoggi, criticized President Trump for dismissing U.S. intelligence linking the Saudi crown prince to the journalist's death, calling him “misinformed.” https://t.co/zYr2GTzaAq

[Nathaniel Reed @ReedReports]

Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) has yet to meet Speaker Johnson, despite winning election 50 days ago.

Grijalva tells me @scrippsnews @abc15 @kgun9 she will be "as respectful as I can... I am incredibly disappointed and frustrated and angry that it took so long to get here..."

[Nathaniel Reed @ReedReports]

NEW: Sen. Majority Leader THUNE tells @scrippsnews he has NOT spoken to Speaker Johnson 'recently' on whether House will vote on any Senate bill to extend ACA subsidies.

THUNE: "My commitment was to have that vote here, and they'll have to figure out what to do in the House..."

[Andrew Rafferty @AndrewRafferty]

Coulda heard his entire answer if @CoryBooker took the stairs.

[Nathaniel Reed @ReedReports]

NEW @scrippsnews: Asked Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), leaving Mikie Sherrill’s election night party in NJ, if tonight’s victories for Dems could end shutdown stalemate:

Booker: “… you hear people speaking for healthcare and for justice, I’m hoping Republicans are listening.”
