    The GOP poll showing Miller down 14 points earlier this week got a lot of attention for the topline, but the generic ballot was also D+3, 48-45. That would already be the 2nd-best result for a Democrat in OH7 over the past decade and essentially on par with 2018 Senate (D+5).

    The Rand Paul-affiliated Protect Freedom PAC is airing what looks like an entirely AI-generated ad backing Republican Catalina Lauf in the FL-19 GOP primary. Includes fake images of her on stage with Trump and with a Secret Service detail. Disclaimer at the end.

    MT-Sen independent candidate Seth Bodnar announces he's "in this race till the very end" as the Monday drop out deadline approaches. Comes as Democratic nominee Alani Bankhead shows no sign of planning to drop out amid an intense pressure campaign by state Dem leaders.
