A new CNN/Time/Opinion Research survey in California finds Meg Whitman (R) leading Jerry Brown (D) among registered voters in the race for governor, 48% to 46%. Said pollster Keating Holland: "The gender gap means that women usually vote Democratic, but female voters are evenly divided between Brown and Whitman. That may be due to some women choosing a female candidate over a male, depriving Brown of the traditional level of support from that key group."Meanwhile, the San Jose Mercury News reports Whitman and Brown have agreed to three debates.

  • House Republicans Finally Think They’ve Found an Issue
    Political Wire, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 07:30 AM

    “After flailing around for months unable to unite on anything, House Republicans finally think they’ve found an issue they agree on — countering the scourge of antisemitism on college campuses nationwide,” Punchbowl News reports. “With 187 days until Election Day, a legislative cupboard that’s all but bare, a presidential impeachment inquiry that’s going nowhere and a speaker who has struggled to generate any discernible level of excitement, the anti-Jewish sentiment that’s spilled out at universities from coast to coast during Gaza war protests offers what Republicans believe is a compelling plot line during the closing months of the 118th Congress.”

Kennedy Jr. convened national media on Wednesday to make an audacious claim: It’s Biden who should drop out of the race to stop former President Donald Trump from reclaiming the White House,” Politico reports.

  • McConnell Wary Despite Favorable Map for GOP
    Political Wire, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 06:49 AM

    “Senate Republicans are six months away from their most favorable Election Day map in a decade, with pickup opportunities in at least a half-dozen states — including sapphire-blue Maryland,” Politico reports. “Mitch McConnell isn’t predicting a red wave ahead, though. There’s a reason for that.” “The minority leader is clearly wary of his party overextending itself despite the advantageous conditions after the twin debacles of 2020 and 2022, when former President Donald Trump’s embrace of flawed GOP nominees contributed to surprising Democratic wins.“
