The poll shows Deb Fischer narrowly ahead in Nebraska

* In Wisconsin, a super PAC closely tied to Republican politics invested hundreds of thousands of dollars last week to support Jill Stein's Green Party presidential bid.

* In North Carolina, Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance praised right-wing gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson on Friday, calling him “a great lieutenant governor.” Hours later, Barack Obama had a little fun at Robinson's expense, telling the crowd: “I don't know where to start with this man. He called the civil rights movement “crap.” LGBTQ people are referred to as “dirt.” Self-identified as a “Nazi.” Slavery was proposed to be reintroduced. Well, I shouldn't really have to get involved in all that. I think it’s fair to say you don’t need a governor who makes Donald Trump look almost normal.”

* In 2022, New York Post editors, citing January 6, told readers that Trump “has proven himself unworthy to be the leader of this country again.” Two years later, the editors of Murdoch's own newspaper supported the former president's bid for a second term.

* In Wisconsin, Republican Senate candidate Eric Hovde has run a highly misleading attack ad on Sen. Tammy Baldwin that appears to want to remind voters that the Democratic incumbent is a lesbian. Twelve years ago, Baldwin became the country's first openly gay senator.

* On a related note, Trump has begun referring to CNN's Anderson Cooper as “Allison Cooper” as part of an apparent reference to Cooper's sexuality. In 2016, then-candidate Trump told LGBTQ voters, “I will fight for you.” Those days are apparently over.
