The initial reports were alarming. Democrat Amy Acton, running for governor in Ohio, was reportedly attacked by an armed man during a rally last weekend.  According to Acton’s campaign and many media outlets, this was an ‘assassination attempt,’ and the candidate was lucky to escape with her life.  Some Democrats immediately blamed Acton’s Republican opponent Vivek Ramaswamy, accusing him of spewing ‘dangerous rhetoric.’  Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown pointed at Donald Trump for insulting female reporters.

Recent polling shows Democrat James Talarico leading Republican Ken Paxton by a few points in Texas. This is a major problem for the GOP.

 

President Trump endorsed Paxton, the Attorney General of Texas, over incumbent Senator John Cornyn because he didn't believe Cornyn supported the Save America Act.
