NEW — My dispatch from Tom Cotton's Granite State adventures: #nhpolitics #FITN
businessinsider.com/tom-cotton-lay…
Cotton on speculation around a potential 2024 run:

"I expect I'll be back to New Hampshire again in the future," Cotton told Insider. "But for right now, especially with 15 days until this election ... we are focused 100% on these elections coming up."

Cotton was campaigning for candidates down 9 and 15 points in the RCP avg, but he had the benefit of getting to meet some of the NH GOP movers & shakers who can fundraise, host events & even future campaign staff in their homes.

Some other notes from following Cotton in NH:

- Lots of enthusiasm for SD Gov. Kristi Noem among the GOP folks there
- Cotton pared down his messaging to be more Trumpy & focused on culture wars
- Plenty of business cards exchanged

Is Tom Cotton officially running for president already? No.

But is he demonstrating all the hallmarks of the invisible primary? Yes.

Trump just had to bring up his nutty theory on how wind power "kills all the birds." A true classic
This graph is still my favorite thing I've learned from something blatantly false Trump has repeated over and over Image
You could argue that Trump's wind mill lie is the most pro-cat rhetoric in the history of the American presidency

Oh hey! We have some new polling stories that just dropped. Gonna do a little ~thread~ here with some of mine.

This one is particularly notable in a pandemic where unemployment is still around 7% nationwide and new stimulus $$ is in limbo: businessinsider.com/insider-poll-e…
There’s been more focus since 2016 on how voting habits split by education level, but less so on turnout than the GOP consolidating non-college white voters under Trump: businessinsider.com/insider-poll-2…
Then there’s likelihood to vote by race relative to the mean voter, and this is something AAPI political groups have been working on for a long time: businessinsider.com/insider-poll-a…

.@AOC going where no politician — or really anyone other than like the top 5 Twitch streamers — has ever gone before: businessinsider.com/aoc-twitch-str…
.@AOC Twitch stream tonight is a breakthrough in political messaging.

To put her 438k peak viewers in perspective:
- That would put her at 6th all time on Twitch
- More viewers than some cable news shows
- About the population of Kansas City, MO
