What is happening in the Taylor-Lazar Wisconsin Supreme Court race? I spoke with Courthouse News about the current state of the contest, including why spending looks so different this year. courthousenews.com/a-year-af… #WisconsinPolitics #WisconsinSupremeCourt #Election2026

🚨 My final election analysis: who will win? Dude, Where's My Man Wave?! Its Starting to Look Like America Understands the Assignment We’re humans, we like certainty. In fact, we crave certainty of event outcomes that probabilistic models and horserace polling simply can’t give us.

The simple gender gap in my last @MULawPoll is women 14 points for Harris, men 12 points for Trump, a 26 point gap. But note women are more for Harris than men in *every* demographic except rural & small town. Read down, smallest gap at top, largest at bottom.
