For all the worry that the Vance and Rubio Senate seats would turn into free-for-alls in Ohio and Florida, Jon Husted and Ashley Moody are cruising without primary drama. w/ @Mdixon55 nbcnews.com/politics/2026-… #OHSen #FLSen

HenryJGomez's tweet card. Sen. Jon Husted has a Trump endorsement and no primary rumblings in Ohio. And in Florida, Sen. Ashley Moody appears likely to cruise without a serious Republican challenger.

Former RNC Co-chair and current Fox News host @LaraLeaTrump says she intends to decide on an #NCSEN run by Thanksgiving - telling reporters at the White House today that a run would be a big decision for her family. Lots of Republicans watching that decision closely.

Quoting colleagues in a story is so odd because you really only see it in explainers (i.e. Vox) or internal podcast interviews. As a former reporter for one of Cleveland’s sibling newsrooms, this uhh doesn’t look great, but also I’m genuinely curious what the thinking is.

“For the base that believes the deep state is real and that Epstein was part of it, this feels like the ultimate knife in the back,” says a GOP strategist familiar with Trump's political operation. w/ @Mdixon55 on the Epstein-fueled MAGA rift. nbcnews.com/politics/donal…

HenryJGomez's tweet card. MAGA-friendly media has been torn over how to respond to a base that wants more on the Epstein files and a president who wants it to move on.

The phony datelines from Advance Publications (Newhouse)-owned websites and newspapers are an affront to reporters and news organizations that actually do on-the-ground reporting and have overseas bureaus. It's one of the most misleading SEO-driven practices in journalism.

Trump posts of "the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax," lamenting that his "PAST supporters have bought into this bullshit." "Let these weaklings continue forward ... don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore!"
