A New Field of Candidates, Even Worse Odds for Dems in ME-02
There's a new field of candidates and even worse odds for Democrats in ME-02. Prognosticators just announced that it's the second most vulnerable Democrat-held seat in the country.
This is the latest in a string of bad news for Matt Dunlap, Joe Baldacci, and Jordan Wood, as recent polling shows all three of them losing in a head-to-head matchup against Republican Paul LePage.

This is the latest in a string of bad news for Matt Dunlap, Joe Baldacci, and Jordan Wood, as recent polling shows all three of them losing in a head-to-head matchup against Republican Paul LePage.
And things won't get any better for these out of touchDemocrats. Remember: Dunlap let fraud run rampant in Augusta, Baldacci is so radical he doesn't even have the support of his own family, and Wood is more in tune with California voters than Mainers.
"Plain and simple: No one is buying what radicals Matt Dunlap, Joe Baldacci, and Jordan Wood are selling. Mainers are sick and tired of Democrat rule in this district, and they're ready to send Paul LePage to Congress." -- NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O'Toole

You can't have it both ways.
If Iran is the largest state sponsor of terrorism on the planet, why wouldMcDonald Rivet vote to weaken America's ability to confront it?
"Kristen McDonald Rivet's vote exposes a dangerous double standard. She admits that Iran is the leading sponsor of terrorism, yet still voted to tie President Trump's hands and weaken America's ability to defend itself. Michiganders deserve leaders who will stand up and keep them safe against terrorist regimes, not politicians playing partisan games with national security." - NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon

Out of touch Democrat Don Davis has once again found himself right where he belongs: among the most vulnerable Democrats in the country. Yesterday, the National Journal released their House race ratings, showing NC-01 is among the top 3 pickup opportunities for Republicans.
Davis is in trouble for a number of reasons:
* President Trump enjoys broad support in Eastern North Carolina, winning Davis's district by double digits in 2024.
* Despite his district'ssupport for the President, Davis has tried to obstruct the America First agenda by voting to hike North Carolina families' taxes and block critical support for North Carolina farmers.
* Davis also voted to shut down the government last year, potentially delaying critical funding for communities devastated by Hurricane Helene.
* He even refused to protect North Carolina families, voting "PRESENT" on the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act.
"North Carolinians are fed up with out of touch Democrat Don Davis's broken promises, partisan games, and radical agenda. This fall, voters will replace Davis with Laurie Buckhout, who will fight for them in Washington." - NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson

LANSING, Michigan, March 7 -- The Michigan Democratic Party issued the following news release:

Mike Rogers' Pay-To-Play Relationship With Billionaire Owners of Ambassador Bridge Raises Questions About Corruption
In case you missed it, a new Detroit Metro Times investigation exposed GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers' longstanding pay-to-play relationship with the billionaire owners of the Ambassador Bridge--raising fresh questions about his pattern of corruption while in office and his allegiance to special interests, not Michiganders.
Rogers served for decades as one of the Moroun family's"reliable allies" in their quest to block the competing Gordie Howe Bridge while they funneled him campaign cash.
Key findings from the investigative reporting:
* Rogers has maintained a pay-to-play relationship with the Morouns for decades, accepting $21,400 from the family since 2000. When asked in 2012 about the donations, his spokesperson admitted the Moroun family was a "long-time supporter" of Rogers while explaining why he had "declined to take a position" on the potential construction of the Gordie Howe bridge. At the same time, Rogers "repeated arguments made by the Ambassador Bridge's owners" while he accepted the family's campaign cash.
* Rogers failed to secure Gordie Howe Bridge funding in Congress after accepting Moroun donations. In 2014, the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce president criticized Rogers for being "not exactly gung ho" about the project and "not doing more to land federal funds" for it, attributing Rogers' reluctance to the Morouns' "political contributions to help maintain [their] monopoly."
* Rogers endorsed a top Moroun ally as his successor in Congress. On the way out of Congress, Rogers endorsed Mike Bishop--a "leading opponent of the [Gordie Howe] bridge" and the former legal counsel for the Moroun family's company.
* Rogers is still "siding with a billionaire family trying to protect its monopoly." Last month, Rogers said Trump's threat to block the Gordie Howe Bridge is "the right thing to do" and "dismissed fears about an economic fallout" in Michigan, saying critics have "run around with their hair on fire," "have overblown this completely," and he's "not sure why we're even arguing" against the idea of blocking its opening.
* Rogers has declined to address his cozy relationship with the Morouns. When asked by the Metro Times, "Rogers's campaign declined to answer questions about the [Moroun] donations and whether they influence his position."

"While multi-millionaire Mike Rogers lies about the economy, Michiganders are losing their livelihoods and seeing prices skyrocket because of the toxic agenda he supports. Price Hike Mike is completely out of touch, and Michigan's working families will never forget how he mocked their concerns about rising costs and lied to their faces as their jobs were destroyed."

DCCC spokesperson Anna Elsasser released the following statement after Darrell Issa did not file for re-election, vacating CA-48:
"After over two decades of disastrous representation, Darrell Issa is once again running for the exits - and good riddance. Issa abandoning his voters now is the clearest sign yet that Republicans know he can't win on his record of skyrocketing prices, gutting health care, and looking out forhimself and wealthy special interests above all else. Any Republican who tries to parachute into this race with the same extreme agenda will face the same fate. Voters are fed up with cowardly politicians who treat public office like a game of musical chairs. Southern Californians are ready to flip this seat and elect a real leader who will finally put them first."
REMINDER: Democrats have consistently overperformed in off-year elections and by an average 17-point margin in congressional special elections. That includes the overwhelming passage of Proposition 50, which was backed by 71% of Latino voters across California. A Fox News poll shows Democrats up 6 points on the general congressional ballot, including 62% of Independents supporting Democrats. So far this cycle, the nonpartisan Cook Political Report has shifted more than 18 House districts in Democrats' direction - including CA-48.
