- #TrumpPressConference disaster
- Throws Louis DeJoy under the bus
- Whines and cries about John Bolton being a "jerk"
- Trump has nothing left in the tank
- Register everyone to vote and finish him off
- Trump is going to prison
- It's still only 5pm
The more I look at the numbers, the more I believe the 2024 House majority is going to be mainly decided in California. Yes, California. There are five "toss up" House districts in suburban pockets of California that can go either way. GET INVOLVED in these five races:
CA-45 (California), Democratic candidate Derek Tran
As I warned you would happen, CNN, Daily Beast, and Politico have all now floated “Kamala is doomed” narratives today, all based on nothing at all beyond the media’s desire to shake up the narrative and juice ratings. The media will keep trying to do this next week. Ignore them.
“But how can the media get it so wrong?”
They’re getting it wrong on purpose. That’s the entire point. Major political media outlets exist to drive ratings, not to inform you. If ratings drop a bit, the media decides what to make up in order to boost ratings. Simple as that.
Is this election over? No. Keep fighting and you’ll be glad you did.
But has anything happened or changed of late to justify suddenly the media suddenly claiming that Kamala is in trouble? Literally nothing. They’re just making it up for ratings.
Heads up: the media is spending this weekend trying out a new narrative about how Kamala is supposedly going to lose because polling says most Americans think the country is going in the wrong direction. Your job is to not fall for it, and to focus on doing what’s needed to win.
In reality, it’s obvious why most Americans think the country is going in the wrong direction. Republicans don’t like what’s happening, and Democrats think the country is still being dragged into the muck by Trump and supporters, so everyone agrees were not on track.
But while this number has been this way the whole time, the media has suddenly decided to pull it out of context and use it as proof that Kamala is suddenly “doomed” because election news is getting stagnant and the media needs to juice ratings.
Great news! House Democrat Marcy Kaptur's reelection race has been changed from "Toss up" to Lean Democrat! We've been fundraising for her, and now she's pulled ahead.
Two other races have also been upgraded from "Lean Republican" to "Toss up." What's what that means:
Democratic candidates Tony Vargas (Nebraska 2nd) and Derek Tran (California 45th) were both mild underdogs. But now their races are 50-50 toss ups. We've added them both to our master list of toss-up races, and Charles Gaba has added them to the ActBlue donation page.
While it was mostly good news for Democrats today, one race went the other direction. Our friend Mary Peltola, the House Democrat representing Alaska, is now in a "toss up" race for reelection. So we've also added her to our master list, and Gaba has added her to the ActBlue page
What is Gaba's Endgame? Fundraising Guru Charles Gaba, who helped flip the Michigan state legislature in 2022, has identified the most competitive House and state legislature races in 2024 and assembled them into ActBlue donation pages so we can flip everything. Important thread:
According to the "Gaba's Endgame" strategy, there are just twenty super-competitive House races, and you can donate to all twenty just by making one donation to this ActBlue page. All money goes directly to the Democratic candidates listed: secure.actblue.com/donate/houseto…
Palmer Report is now working with Charles Gaba on fundraising for his ActBlue page, and as you can see, we've managed to raise a stunning $103,000 in the past week for the most competitive Democratic House candidates: secure.actblue.com/donate/houseto…
