This is a fairly standard chance question. Pollsters ask it to determine who is persuadable.

This quote is insane.

[Patrick Svitek @PatrickSvitek]

Mike Johnson says he spoke with Tom Kean Jr. in recent days

"I do know what his health issue is, but he’s asked me not to disclose that and I’m going to honor that."

"When he explains it, it will all make sense. There's nothing untoward about it at all."

Who fucking closed last night?

Read this quote and thought it was Stephen Miller.

“Those that choose or want to parachute in, after the men and women of this city, the working men and women of the city, have built our neighborhood. We're gonna send them back home packing wherever they came from,” Espaillat says

[Ravi Mangla @ravi_mangla]

"Ms. Matsui senses a serious threat from Ms. Vang. She loaned her campaign $1.4 million, a step she has never taken in her 10 prior re-election campaigns, according to campaign finance reports."

[Darializa for Congress @DarializaforNY]

Last year, @ZohranKMamdani showed the entire country that people power can beat a machine. I’m thrilled to have his support!

I look forward to fighting for our shared vision of a more affordable New York—one where we invest in our communities, not in bombs abroad—in Congress.

Team Espaillat is right, electing a fake AI-generated candidate would be too risky for Congress.

Vote for a real, human candidate: @DarializaforNY

[Ethan Smith @esmith1984]

Real solutions to housing requires federal action. More Congressional candidates should be talking about bold action on housing. Cities can't afford to do it on their own.

[Ryan Musser @musserryan]

This is great but…how is Brooke Pinto’s housing plan related to the role of Congressional Delegate?

[NJ Working Families Party @NJWFP]

We're proud to endorse Sue Altman for Congress in NJ-12!

From defeating the county line and supporting medicare for all, to fighting against corruption in Camden City and working to abolish ICE, Sue knows what it takes to take on powerful interests and deliver results.

[Brad Carson @bradrcarson]

This is a poll commissioned by the pro-AI safeguards Public First Action, fyi.

[Ethan Smith @esmith1984]

@ryanodonnellpa There's also not a ton of evidence that people try to take polls when they're not qualified voters

[Ethan Smith @esmith1984]

I think this is the first time I’ve ever heard gumband on a tv show or in a movie #thepitt

[Joey Fox @joeymdfox]

The Princeton Community Democratic Organization, a progressive grassroots group with a track record of picking electoral winners, endorsed @SueAltman for NJ-12 last night; @HamawyForNJ finished in second place.

The Fetterman fanfic from a certain type of Republican really goes insane

[Sean T at RCP @SeanTrende]

Newsom, Harris, Shapiro, Pritzker, Booker? All variants on the same problem. Way too tilted toward managerial class appeal. Beshear and MAYBE Ocasio-Cortez can break out of that. Fetterman would win 350 Electoral Votes, but zero chance of winning the nom.

[Joey Fox @joeymdfox]

💵💵💵: @SueAltman has already raised more than $250,000 since entering the NJ-12 race this morning, more than most of her Dem opponents have raised during their entire campaigns.
