IA1 Blum. Thought gone. Suddenly it’s now very close.

IA2 Loebsack. He won by 28,000 in 2018, but only 14,000 in 16. Right now, Rs have a 5,000 absentee ballot request lead in that district. If that holds and if the 16 number is more like today’s performance, Rs have shaved 1/3 off his lead already (theoretically).

He is vulnerable. Was on NO ONE’s radar til Ravi pointed this out.

“IA1 Blum. Thought gone. Suddenly it’s now very close.”

Good! Blum is a solid conservative, hate to lose him.

As for IA-2, it was technically Trump’s 2nd best district in the state after King’s.

First poll I’ve seen of PA-8 (Democrat incumbent Matt Cartwright) isn’t good. Siena/NY slimes has him up 12.

In NV some dem idiot got a boner cause the NRCC cancelled ad buys in Vegas. Nevada election guru Jon Ralston replies

“Jon Ralston Retweeted Kenneth P. Vogel
NRCC abandoned #nv03 long ago. They had high hopes for #nv04. I think both sides still think these races are in play. Will know more after early voting starts this weekend.

If RALSTON, a dem hack, thinks these seats are in play, they are in play. Also, Ralston last night confirmed what I told everyone two months ago: Rs have cut into the D registration lead by 30,000 (He didn’t phrase it that way: “Ds have 75,000 registration lead”) Yeah, but it was a lead of over 105,000 in November 2016!
