Judge Dorow said that paperwork will need to be filled out – and submitted in a timeline manner. Over the past month or so, there has been a rumbling across the land, and the news is not good for Team Blue.

Douglas Kolar Kolar testified after he saw the vehicle speed off, he grabbed his daughter and walked as fast as they could to their car. To understand how the parties think the campaign is going, look at where they are spending their money. As Henry Olsen noted in The Washington Post last week, Democrats are pouring money into House districts that should be safe — places that Joe Biden won by double digits in 2020.. Politico’s election forecast, for example, now rates the races in California’s 13th Congressional District and Oregon’s 6th Congressional District as toss-ups. Two years ago, according to Politico, he won those areas by 11 and 14 points. "I don't know what I'm supposed to say on that. If Republicans are competitive in places like that, we’re probably looking at a red-wave election that will enable them to easily take back the House and maybe the Senate. So, how should Democrats interpret these trends? There’s a minimalist interpretation: Midterms are usually hard for the president’s party, and this one was bound to be doubly hard because of global inflation." Prosecutors asked to change it to "near Frame Park. I take a more medium to maximalist view. I’d say recent events have exposed some serious weaknesses in the party’s political approach: It’s hard to win consistently if voters don’t trust you on the top issue. Prosecutors argued that this change would be more in line with Patterson's testimony. In a recent AP-NORC poll, voters trust Republicans to do a better job handling the economy, by 39% to 29%.

Prosecution in court Thursday, Oct. But those policies do not seem to be moving voters. As the Times’ Jim Tankersley has reported, Democratic candidates in competitive Senate races are barely talking about the $1."

I thought the child tax credit expansion would be massively popular and could help create a Democratic governing majority. It's been charged like this for a year, basically. It turned out to be less popular than many anticipated, and there was little hue and cry when it expired. Maybe voters have a built-in uneasiness about income redistribution and federal spending. What is the significance now, at this point?" said Brooks. Democrats have a crime problem. More than three-fourths of voters say that violent crime is a major problem in the United States, according to a recent Politico/Morning Consult poll. Dorow granted the state's request. Back in the 1990s, Bill Clinton and Joe Biden worked hard to give the Democrats credibility on this issue. Many Democrats have walked away from policies the party embraced then, often for good reasons." Dorow said she would not speculate or give Brooks an advisory opinion on that. But they need to find another set of policies that will make the streets safer. Democrats have not won back Hispanics. Prosecutors noted there wouldn't be any duplication in their questioning. In 2016, Donald Trump won 28% of the Hispanic vote. In 2020, it was up to 38%. Prosecutors argued that, "as the lead detective in the case," it would assist the jury in understanding some of the things on the back end that he was involved in. This year, as William A. Galston noted in The Wall Street Journal, recent surveys suggest that Republicans will once again win about 34% to 38% of the Hispanic vote. He was on scene after the parade attack and later became lead detective. In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis is leading Democrat Charlie Crist by 16 points among Hispanics likely to vote."

The Republicans may just have a clearer narrative . The Trumpified GOP deserves to be a marginalized and disgraced force in American life. Seems like nothing more than to get extra questions answered that could have been asked from the get go. But I’ve been watching the campaign speeches by people such as Kari Lake, the Republican candidate for governor in Arizona. GOP candidates are telling a very clear class/culture/status war narrative in which common-sense Americans are being assaulted by elite progressives who let the homeless take over the streets, teach sex ed to 5-year-olds, manufacture fake news, run woke corporations, open the border, and refuse to do anything about fentanyl deaths and the sorts of things that affect regular people. "His testimony today is not to rehash topics he was questioned about initially," said Dorow, noting it would have to do with his role subsequent to the initial contact with Brooks at the beginning of the parade route.

Brooks asked if he would be able to re-cross-examine Casey, and the judge said he would. In late July, she was trailing her opponent by 7 points. Now she’s up by about half a point.
