Sam Brodey at The Daily Beast has another great piece about U.S. Senator Thom Tillis (R. NC) trying to run away from his record trying to kill the Affordable Care Act. But there’s something else that Tillis is trying to do: Tillis is taking it a bit farther. The North...
Scott Bixby at The Daily Beast has a great piece out that calls out U.S. Senate candidate, John James (R. MI), for following the GOP playbook to talk tough on China as a way to rile up their base. But of course, like pretty much every GOPer trying to make...
Margaret Carlson at The Daily Beast has a must read piece on U.S. Senate candidate, Theresa Greenfield (D. IA), and her upcoming race to unseat incumbent U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R. IA). It's a great piece worth reading. Here's a snippet that I really liked: With her flannel shirts, quilted...

I know I touched upon this in a diary last week but I’m happy that Eleanor Clift at The Daily Beast brought this up today: Texas Senator John Cornyn voted 20 times to do away with Obamacare, but says that the “good news” for the millions of people who lost...
I highlighted the story last about whether or not U.S. Senator Richard Burr’s (R. NC) COVID-19 insider trading scandal would hurt his colleague, U.S. Senator Thom Tillis’ (R. NC) re-election bid: Democrats wasted little time in going after the state’s junior senator. In a statement, N.C. Democratic spokesman Robert Howard...

Joni Ernst is running for reelection in what will likely be one of the nation’s most closely watched Senate contests this year.
