Big day at @MorningConsult, where we did something we'd never done before: We polled voters on the breaking news about @realDonaldTrump's health in real time, and told you what we found as we consumed it.
When it comes to the upcoming presidential debates, voters are more likely than not to say they should go on - but virtually. morningconsult.com/form/reaction-…

Eric Greitens' ex-wife accuses the former Navy SEAL of abuse against her and "physical violence toward our children, such as cuffing our then-3-year-old son across the face at the dinner table in front of me and yanking him around by his hair." #MOSenapnews.com/article/2022-m…
Sheena Greitens said he “threatened to come to the airport and have me arrested for kidnapping and child abuse, saying that because of his authority as a former governor who had supported law enforcement, the police would support him and not believe me.” apnews.com/article/2022-m…

Donald Trump just put out a very long statement through his "Save America PAC" attacking @LeaderMcConnell.
The lede: "The Republican Party can never again be respected or strong with political 'leaders' like Sen. Mitch McConnell at its helm."
Trump said if GOP Senators are going to stay with McConnell, "they will not win again."
Our data shows the mere acceptance of Biden’s victory and criticism of Trump within the Senate GOP preceded a weakening of in-state GOP voter support for many senators morningconsult.com/2021/02/16/gop…
"Mitch is a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack, and if Republican Senators are going to stay with him, they will not win again."
NEW: GOP voters have taken a dimmer view of most of their senators in recent months amid all that's happened since Nov. 3.

In Missouri, Josh Hawley's brand is on much stronger footing than Roy Blunt's with Republican voters as strategists believe the senior senator to be particularly vulnerable to a primary challenger. morningconsult.com/2021/02/16/gop…#MOSen

NEW: Police reform debate paints a picture of wide divides, w/ officers on one side and those demanding change on the other. But our new poll of officers tells story of a force mostly on board w/ efforts to reign it in.
We surveyed 9,962 voters to get a good sample of police officers, and tested dozens of proposals laid out by lawmakers and Campaign Zero, a think tank for policing reforms.
In our sample of police officers, we found a force that's overwhelmingly male and young, more politically affiliated than the overall population (particularly on the Republican side) and one that's more favorable of @realDonaldTrump. morningconsult.com/2020/07/23/pol…
