“A surprising number of people, including Hyma Moore, a Democrat on ‘The Morning Meeting,’ are now saying what the speaker’s been saying— the House is not a sure thing,” says Mark Halperin about whether the Democrats will win the House in November. “If you read the Twitter feed of James Blair… You will see a man who believes he’s going to keep the House. There’s some bravado involved, but I’ll continue to say— this is the most difficult to decipher midterm I have ever covered.” Hyma Moore James Blair 2WAY

![EXCLUSIVE: Four sources tell Mark Halperin that "Elon Musk and his people are now talking about spending A LOT of money in Texas." The spend would be at least $50 million and up to $200 million just for Texas, between now and Election Day, and much of the money would go to the ground game, including TV ads and a sophisticated digital campaign. "I can tell you right now that many people in Texas politics who have been concerned about salvaging [the Senate] seat and have heard about Elon Musk's plans feel that the amount he's puting in is a gamechanger." Musk's funds would allow Republicans to focus on other key races in Michigan and elsewhere rather than sink vital resources into Texas' pricey media markets.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2097797437285097560/amplify_video_thumb/2097797298927579136/img/h5G2_RJUXUFbx1iJ.jpg)

“It's amazing to me how many people hate me today because I talk to Tucker Carlson. I don’t know what’s wrong with America,” says Mark Halperin, who just recorded a Next Up with Mark Halperin podcast with Tucker Carlson about Charlie Kirk. “First of all, the purpose of talking to Tucker was he knew Charlie really well. And second of all, I know plenty of people, including the vice president of the United States, who are fond of Tucker. And I just don’t think we should go about disqualifying people from the national town square because we don’t like their political views. That’s my point of view… And I look forward to reading in the chat and in my inbox and on X, how much people hate me today because I talk to Tucker Carlson, a person who apparently for many of you is not allowed in polite company.” 2WAY

“I think Republicans have the wind at their back now... I think they made it through the tough part,” says L A R R Y. Polymarket traders on Thursday morning put the odds at 53 percent that the GOP will keep the Senate, while the Democrats are at 48%. “I would think that… by October 1st, it’s going to increase,” Larry says.

Loser of the Week is Hakeem Jeffries, says L A R R Y. “The whispers Washington DC are that Jeffries is in trouble whether he wins the majority or not,” says Larry, “because if it is a narrow victory, he’s not really equipped to handle the caucuses that are going to be so divergent, with the DSA having such a voice in the room. If he ends up being on the short end, I don’t think he’s going to be elected minority leader.” Mark Halperin Hyma Moore 2WAY

.Mark Halperin has a warning for Republicans who “want to whistle past the graveyard.” Says Mark, “I’m not going to reach any conclusions until I see how James Blair spends $1 billion-plus. But right now I hear regularly from sober, experienced Republican strategists who are doing midterm races, who are very bearish on what’s going on. If you think that having more money in 2026 is dispositive in an election where the Republican has more money, it’s not... If you think saying, ‘I’m experienced, I’m the chairman of a powerful committee’ is dispositive, it’s not. If you think a district or a state having voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump in 2024 is dispositive, it’s not. Democrats could win well more than the four Senate seats they need to take the majority. I’m not predicting it, but they could.” Republicans Democrats L A R R Y Kevin Walling 2WAY

Troy Jackson released a video criticizing Susan Collins for smearing him and his family. “Troy Jackson,” says Mark Halperin. “I’m telling you that if you think the number of negative ads and the viciousness of the negative ads that have been run against you in August and early September is like, ‘the thing,’ be prepared. The Susan Collins for Senator Super PAC is coming with ads that will make your hair stand up. It will shake you to your core… Susan Collins is a killer.” L A R R Y Hyma Moore 2WAY

“If Attorney General Ken Paxton doesn’t come to Jesus on how to run for office, he will lose,” says Mark Halperin. “I’ve been talking to Texas Republicans who are not hostile to Ken Paxton. He is lazy. He’s a horrible fundraiser. He cannot answer questions about the controversies that reporters are going to ask him about. He has alienated suburban voters, including suburban women, and he’s running against a guy who’s pretty damn good as a candidate — despite not liking meat, despite all the things he said. And if nothing dramatic changes, he will lose. It doesn’t mean Democrats will take back the Senate, but he will lose unless something dramatic happens. And most people I know don’t think he has it in him because he’s a bad guy and a lazy guy.” L A R R Y Kevin Walling 2WAY

“When I hear complaints from Democrats that, ‘we can’t air false election claims because that will discourage the voters,’ … I say, ladies and gentlemen, the media aired false election claims about ‘Russia, Russia, Russia’ for the entirety of the Trump presidency,” says Mark Halperin about TV news networks refusing to air Donald Trump’s primetime address. “So get off your frigging fainting couches and don’t tell me that we cannot listen to political leaders making false accusations about an election.” Rapid Response 47

Ken Paxton “is not only incredibly scandal plagued, he is a deeply lazy candidate,” says Erick Erickson. “He defended himself on the lazy charge this weekend. But I’m sorry-- you took your girlfriend to Ireland instead of hitting the campaign trail. You don’t call the donors. The donors don’t want to give you money. You haven’t been able to persuade them. He’s just an unlikable, lazy guy.” Attorney General Ken Paxton Republicans Kevin Walling Mark Halperin 2WAY

“I will tell you, over Israel, over Epstein and over Platner, Ro Khanna has inspired deep ire,” says Mark Halperin about senior Democrats’ antipathy toward the progressive congressman from Silicon Valley, who’s emerging as a Democratic presidential contender. “I’m not talking about casual ire,” Mark says, “but deep ire on the part of many people I know. Are they gatekeepers to the nomination? Traditionally, many of them are — political operatives, elected officials and donors — but maybe Ro Khanna doesn't need the traditional folks.” Ro Khanna L A R R Y Melissa DeRosa 2WAY

“Brian Stelter in his career has written many corrupt sentences to protect the liberal side of the house. Many,” says Mark Halperin.

Zohran Mamdani’s campaign may face a “devastating piece of opposition” research at the 11th hour, says Mark Halperin. “My informed spidey sense is that we’re going to see at least one more piece of pretty significant opposition research dropped in this race, here at the end, that will potentially shake things up,” he says. “If it’s what I’m told it is,” it could affect the race’s outcome. #zohranfornyc 2WAY

"I just saw some new private polling that's very robust. Private polling," says Mark Halperin. Kamala Harris "is in a lot of trouble … In the conversations I'm having with Trump people and Democrats with data, they are extremely bullish on Trump's chances in the last 48 hours. Extremely bullish." #KamalaHarris #Trump 2WAY

Rich Goodstein recalls how John Fetterman claimed he was too busy to meet with one of Rich’s clients, an important Pennsylvania-based CEO, and kicked the meeting to his chief of staff. “Then John Fetterman opens the door from his executive assistant’s space to the office where they were meeting. And he says, ‘my staff told me to say hello, so “hello.”’ And then he closes the door. That is an impeachable offense for a senator. That’s the big middle finger to that CEO. So everything you’re reading is absolutely true.” Rich Mark Halperin 2WAY

“Democrats in 2020 went into Election Day with over a million vote lead, and they barely won the state,” says Mark Halperin. “They won the state by less than 100,000 votes. And this time they go into Election Day with only a 400,000 vote lead … So what explains the fall off? It's some combination of a lack of organic enthusiasm for Kamala Harris and the vaunted Harris turnout operation not being able to turn out as many early votes as they did four years ago. So are those two factors going to be different on Election Day? It's very hard for me to see how she's going to win Pennsylvania.” #HarrisWalz #Trump 2WAY

“It could change, but currently it’s setting up to be a wipeout,” says Mark Halperin about the midterms. “That’s not a partisan view, or a media exaggeration. It is based on the polling of Republicans in lots of these states. And you may see states you’re not expecting at all to have Democratic wins. Democrats could — I say could — pick up eight seats in the Senate... That would be incredible.” #Democrats #Midterms L A R R Y Kevin Walling 2WAY
