Alaska Landmine: Mary Peltola used the โn-wordโ multiple times in 2024, former staffers allege
Two former staffers for former Democratic U.S. Representative Mary Peltolaโs office and campaign claim she repeatedly used the โn-wordโ in 2024, when she was an elected representative.
One instance of Peltolaโs use of the โn-wordโ allegedly followed an October 25, 2024 dinner honoring the nearly 4,000 African American Army soldiers who helped construct the Alaska-Canada Highway during World War II.

@ZakJac_wx I could be wrong about this but Iโm going off of recent precedents where Republicans make up ground in October (at least in TX) and if these 5-6% leads by Talarico is sustained to November, there will be a polling miss (by how much idk)
Based on the recent polls I've complied in Texas, Talarico is exceeding the mean Democratic performance amongst Hispanic voters (AVG 2026: Talarico ๐ต +22.5 vs. AVG 2016-2024: Dem ๐ต + 16.0) while averaging around 39% with White Voters (shift of ๐ต+5 raw % from Beto in 2018)
