Inside the Ohio GOP fallout after Ramaswamy doubled down on ad of Acton's estranged mother: one GOP candidate asked Ramaswamy not to air the ad and one operative told me that Republicans in the state "couldn't be more pissed"

Asked Sen. Roger Marshall if it’s time to end the Iran war given how it’s impacting his constituents in Kansas, and he told me: “I think what you should be talking about is my opponent, that he's a child sex predator protector, that he's protected a predator.”
“I think you guys need to talk about something that Kansans want to be talking about right now.”
Hamilton has denied this.
Asked him again about Iran: “I've given you my comments on Iran before. Look, I want this war to be over as quickly as possible.… Like Eisenhower, I hate war.”
Marshall has voted against efforts to limit Trump’s war powers in Iran.

Elon Musk has given Republicans at least $276 million since July but CNN's David Chalian says it may not be helping. "The overwhelming money advantage that Republicans have, and that Elon Musk is turbocharging for them, doesn't seem to be altering the playing field."

David Jolly says he can win even if Donalds keeps outraising him 8-1:
"We're defying gravity here a little bit. Byron Donalds turns out to be one of those candidates, the more he spends, the worse he does."

Ryan Mackenzie, a swing-district R, stands by Trump’s tariff and Iran policies amid rising costs — and squares his attacks on his Dem opponent, Bob Brooks.
