To all those complaining about world leaders flying to attend a mtg on climate change, you’re not saying anything original. Fact is, ya can’t do a zoom call with 190 countries, and face to face talks move the needle the most.

Ryan is a good guy, smart, and has connections to put together and run a real race. This district has moved towards the GOP by 2% in registration since Naft won it 53-47 against an opponent with no money.
Hearing Ryan Hamilton, recently with
@VegasStronger1
and a veteran of many Nevada political races, is going to run for Clark County Commission, District A. His campaign will focus on homelessness and quality of life issues.

Kerry led Bush until he lost. Romney led Obama until he lost. Clinton was 10+ pts up in states she lost to Trump. When us political scientists say they are not predictive, we mean it. You’d think Harry would know that.

Latest voter registration stats for Nevada are out. Number of Nonpartisans increased by 0.97 percent, Republicans increased by 0.7 percent and Democrats increased by 0.46 percent.
John Calipari is expected to bring all his stable of assistants from UK to Arkansas, sources told CBS Sports.
Assistants are: Orlando Antigua, Chin Coleman, Chuck Martin.
Special assistant: Bruiser Flint
Calipari will also bring on his son, Brad, in a player development role.
All I heard leading up to this convention was how Stephanie Cutter was the absolutely best at putting one of these together.
I’m left to think that having the President speak at midnight, after kicking him to the curb, can be nothing but intentional.
🚨Let’s take a deeper look at the Equis poll of 2,010 registered Latinos, where RFK splintered Biden’s Latino support, alarming Democrats I spoke to:
Kennedy support:
- 1 in 5 Latinos age 18-29
- 1 in 5 Latinas
- 17% in Arizona
- 21% in Nevada— the highest among states polled
Has anyone asked
@SteveYeagerNV
why he supported a primary opponent of one of his colleagues?
Seems like problems in the Dem caucus, probably why Marzola is gunning for him.
If John Calipari isn’t fired I’ve tried to think of the most serious thing I could do to show my displeasure (and not be arrested). And I believe I’ve figured it out.
If Cal is the coach next season, I will be cheering for the University of Louisville.

Still very, very small turnout to report, and no conclusions to draw yet. But urban ballots will start coming back soon, and then we will know more.

HUGE WIN: 90,000 inactive voters have been removed from the rolls in Clark County, Nevada as a result of our efforts to Protect The Vote.
Election integrity starts with clean voter rolls, and that's why we've brought litigation in key states to compel outcomes just like this.
Frank Biden told
@cbsnews
that his brother's health, "in my humble opinion absolutely" contributed to his decision to bow out. But source close to Biden fam says “Frank Biden suffers from alcoholism and hasn’t spoken to his brother in weeks. What he said...is completely untrue.”
Bright side of Mark Pope
1. BYU shot more 3’s than 2’s
2. He was Jeff’s roommate
3. At least we know he won’t be drunk at noon
So basically he’s the 2nd best basketball hire Mitch has made.

…the journalist panel really seems to be upset about NBC hiring a Republican…hold on, wait, what is this Jen Psaki promo running during the show!?!
NEWS --> Dems are seriously second-guessing some of the strategies of the biggest pro-Harris Super PAC, Future Forward. They worry outreach to young and nonwhites is faltering and think Trump was able to rehabilitate his favorables too easily.

This is actually a pretty big deal.
Nevada was the state where RFK’s supporters broke towards Trump the most. And even his name on the ballot would have drawn 1%.
If it’s a very tight race and Trump wins, this might just be the reason why.
BREAKING: RFK Jr. will *NOT* appear on Nevada's ballot despite missing the deadline to withdraw last week.
Democrats had sued to block his ballot access, and this week agreed with Kennedy's campaign to drop the lawsuit and remove him from the ballot.
Story coming

Multiple sources are telling me Arkansas has zeroed in on John Calipari. Barring any last minute issues, I expect him to be the Razorbacks new head coach.

On this date in 2012, the Ninth Circuit upheld NV's "None of These Candidates" option. Mitt Romney backers tried to erase the 1975 law because they worried it would hurt him. (It had no effect.)

@baseballot
Sure, but comparing elections of 40 years ago to elections of today is useless.
Moderns campaigns and 24-7 news cycle vs races from yesteryear is like comparing a 2023 Mustang to the Model T.
Confirming Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, the only House Dem to to suggest Biden should resign as well as step aside, was rejected a question in the CHC call.
She kept using the raise hand feature and it was continuously lowered by campaign officials, per person familiar.
At the most vulnerable moment of his presidency, never has Joe Biden kept Gavin Newsom so close.
