Democrats need to run hard against Elon Musk. They need to warn the public that the world's richest man is spending $276 million to attempt a hostile takeover of our government.

The dominant issue by far in this election is: cost of living/inflation/economy. Trump and GOP message falls between these two elements: 1. nothing is wrong with the economy/everything is great. 2. Even though we have been in power and made problem worse, we are here to fix things. Lordy Moses.

It’s even more transactional than that. He basically says that Trump officials won’t give the Times scoops unless it continues to euphemize and sanewash their anti-democracy lies and lunacy.

The primary allegations and political controversies surrounding Jon Husted focus on his past roles as Ohio Secretary of State and Lieutenant Governor.
FirstEnergy / House Bill 6 Bribery Scandal:
Scrutiny over meetings with FirstEnergy executives prior to Ohio's HB 6 nuclear bailout legislation (though Husted was never charged with a crime).
Campaign Finance & Nursing Home Industry:
Criticism from political opponents regarding campaign contributions from long-term care executives ahead of liability-shielding legislation.
Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow (ECOT):
Political focus on past campaign contributions received from leadership of the online charter school before its closure over inflated attendance figures.
Voter Roll Maintenance: Legal challenges by voting rights groups over voter roll cleanup practices during his tenure as Ohio Secretary of State (later upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in Husted v. Randolph Institute).

"The Republican Senate nominee in Ohio is Jon Husted, who, believe it or not, is the incumbent. Haven’t heard of him? Neither has almost anyone in Ohio, though now that Trump went on a long riff about Husted’s rockin’ bod ('I looked at his ass'), perhaps more voters will notice him."

The vote marked the second time the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) denied students at the nation’s largest historically Black university, with over 15,000 students, a midterms voting site. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
democracydocket.com
North Carolina early voting begins, with students targeted by suppression schemes
Ultimately, voters described the roadblocks as a feature, not a bug, of the state’s electoral system — one that’s littered with so much confusion that some may decide to stay home and not vote at all.
