24. Right now the dynamics have really shifted for us

Not only do we have great candidates but the argument Republicans expected to make are starting to fizzle--gas prices and inflation markers. Add that to the rout we saw in Kansas on abortion, the unexpected job numbers and the inflation reduction bill passage?

We're on a definite roll. You can feel the enthusiasm mounting.

I haven't been following Beasley's race but I know Cortez Mastro (though close, between 3-6 pts depending on the poll) is expected to pull it out. I've even been hearing wails about how profoundly unpopular Ron Johnson is in Wisconsin. And that recent poll in Florida? Stunning. Made me happy, too, bc I really like Val Demings.

Still 90 days out but we have a genuine shot here.
