Economic anxieties “out yonder” foretell recession & midterm GOP bloodbath

Economic indicators in "MAGA country" and Trump's hemorrhaging right-leaning independent voters indicate it may not matter how gerrymandered some red states are. ⁠Farm bankruptcies are climbing. ⁠ ⁠Foreclosures are at a six-year high.⁠ ⁠Red states lead the way.⁠ ⁠Tariffs have done 'significant damage' to the economy.⁠ ... and yet, Georgia Republicans are still "all-in" for Trump.

On polling, ad buys, endorsements (and those not being made): Melita Easters weighs in on GA races

PLUS: the on-and-off again (brief) mifepristone mail ban. Melita shares her thoughts on that, as well. Four days ago, I'm complaining there isn't enough polling on the Democratic gubernatorial race in Georgia, and since then we have two new polls out, and the only consistency among them (and all of them) is that former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms enjoys a still-healthy lead, but if there is to be a […]
