🚨Here’s the MD-Sen ad from EMILY’s List — it’s a long-telegraphed attack on David Trone over past donations to pro-life Republicans including Greg Abbott and Doug Ducey. It’s part of a $1.5 million buy over the final week of the race, aimed at boosting Alsobrooks over the top.

NEWS | EMILY's List is finally wading into the contentious Maryland Senate primary between Angela Alsobrooks and David Trone.

So far I've seen $450k in broadcast TV spending and another $260k on cable in Baltimore from the pro-Alsbrooks group's super PAC.

TIL there is a Latino-Jewish Caucus and it does not appear to include the only Jewish Latino in Congress, Mike Levin.

This seat gets a lot more difficult for Democrats to hold without Cuellar. It's still light blue but has moved rapidly over the last eight years.

Cuellar was the only Dem to carry it by >10 in 2022.

2016: Clinton +21
2018: Beto (Senate) +20
2020: Biden +8
2022: Beto (Gov) +5

👀WV-01 Rep. Carol Miller is going negative against her GOP primary challenger, former state Rep. Derrick Evans.

Evans did 3 months in prison after pleading guilty to storming the Capitol on 1/6 - naturally, Miller attacks him as a secret Defund the Police, pro-trans Democrat.

Did Noem even go to Korea? Did she just figure the first man she met named Kim was *that* Kim and not just one of the 20 percent of the population with that surname?

David Trone has spent at least $54 million of his own money on his Senate bid. He’s already the top self funder in a primary ever; and he’s getting close to the all-time self-funding Senate record ($63m for Rick Scott in 2018). If he’s the nominee he’ll almost certainly surpass.

Harry Dunn raised $811,587 in the first three weeks of April, ahead of the May 14 primary, and spent $1,787,651.

Main opponent Sarah Elfreth raised $541,110 and spent $860,004.
