Harry Enten and Erin Burnett went through the midterm numbers on CNN, starting with a Pennsylvania state legislative seat Democrats just flipped in a district Trump carried by eighteen points. Enten's other figure is the one that should worry Republicans: a 38 point swing against Trump among white working class voters in eighteen months, the group that anchored his last three campaigns.
The main event is Kash Patel's defamation suit against The Atlantic and reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick. Joyce Vance laid out on her Substack why it goes badly for him regardless of outcome. Dismissal ends it. Survival opens discovery, and Patel filed, which means he answers document requests, interrogatories, and requests for admission, then sits for a deposition, along with however many FBI personnel The Atlantic wants.
Fitzpatrick reported the story with 24 sources across the Bureau and the executive branch. Those incidents would generate records. The Atlantic has already asked the FBI and DOJ for documents and communications, and Patel's own defense depends on them.
Judge Emmet Sullivan has the motion to dismiss. It is Patel's fifth suit against the media.
