Axios reports that Mike Rogers, the Republican running against Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, met with AIPAC chair Michael Tuchin and asked the group to stay out of the general election. A finished ad targeting El-Sayed was scrapped, and AIPAC officials are described as furious.
The reasoning is the interesting part. Rogers's team reportedly believes AIPAC spending would backfire and help El-Sayed, which is roughly what happened in the primary, where heavy spending on Haley Stevens preceded her loss.
At a Myrtle Beach rally for Darlene Graham, Trump said out loud what Republicans have been worrying about privately: his voters do not turn out when he is not on the ballot. Hawk pairs that with what has happened to gas, groceries, and utility bills since January.
Then a useful explainer on the Lindsay Clancy case, prompted by Jonathan Turley. An insanity defense necessarily concedes the underlying act and argues criminal responsibility, and burdens of proof vary by state.
Last, Flock CEO Garrett Langley on Fox arguing privacy cannot be the primary concern.
