If the real divide in Dem party is between “fighters and folders”, the first serious test of this will be in CA. Will Newsom “commit the very sort of norm-busting and partisan overreach that Dems have long criticized R’s and Trump for practicing.” cookpolitical.com/analysis/natio…

A must-read from @MattKleinOnline on the state of play in #KSGov — the GOP’s best chance to flip a governors race next year but why that’s not a slam dunk

I spoke to several Republican operatives in Kansas who remain well aware of Sam Brownback’s unpopularity. Big problem right now: All the leading GOP candidates voted for/supported his 2012 tax cuts. Democrats hope to take advantage, with a new candidate entering the field soon.

The ghost of former Gov. Sam Brownback continues to haunt Kansas Republicans as they seek to flip the state’s governorship. Read @MattKleinOnline's latest: cookpolitical.com/analysis/gover…
