General Discussion

That’s the first set of ‘26 polls I’d seen. Obviously it’s still really early.

I used to live in Michigan and it looks like Detroit mayor Mike Duggan may be playing spoiler here. Wonder if some big republican donors are getting him to run to throw this to James (who has lost two or three senate races by fairly slim margins).

Maybe Pete B should throw his hat in the ring for the senate primary. It could provide a better springboard if he wants to run for president again. Right now, his resume is sorta thin. He’s an effective communicator but I want to see him win a statewide seat to consider him viable for higher office.

I notice Hochul and Stefanik are competitive for the NY governor’s race. She’ll need to open a bigger lead otherwise dems will be forced to spend on a race, that could go toward other races.
