👀 There’s a real possibility that Republicans end up winning just one of Florida’s four newly redrawn districts next month. President Trump won all these new districts by nine points or more in 2024. But only Democratic Rep. Darren Soto’s central Florida district appears locked up for the GOP right now. Senior Congressional Reporter @allymutnick has the latest reporting from the Sunshine State.

New from Jackson, Ohio: I caught up with former Sen. Sherrod Brown about his gavel ambitions at Senate Banking - a topic of lots of banking world chatter. “We’ll see,” Brown said. “I’m interested in Finance. I was on Finance, Banking and Agriculture. I played a major role in all those committees, and we’ll see what happens first of the year.” More in AM -
Former Sen. Sherrod Brown’s potential return to the Senate has economic policy watchers wondering what kind of role he’d play after his past run as Banking Committee chair. punchbowl.news/article/senat…

Sen. Raphael Warnock is pressuring his party to spend more in races across the South, particularly the Mississippi Senate race “Right now, the Democrats’ ceiling on Senate seats is 52,” the Georgia Democrat told me in an interview. “That is unsustainable. We have to broaden the map and broaden our vision — put our feet on the ground and open new opportunities for Democrats to win.” MORE from @PunchbowlNews PM on Warnock’s vision - punchbowl.news/article/senat…

Someone impersonated a WSJ lawyer and had X take down this thread for violating copyright. It’s now back online. ICYMI: @BoHines’s company earned millions from @Tether as he led the White House’s crypto agenda. wsj.com/politics/policy/cryp…
SCOOP: While Bo Hines was leading the White House’s push to pass the Genius Act, Tether—the company with the most at stake in the bill—was steering millions of dollars to a company he co-owned. Right after the bill passed, Tether hired him as its U.S. chief. [Gift link] wsj.com/politics/policy/cryp…
