Hey, it’s Dan.
In today’s CapCon, if state Democrats flip just one more seat in the Senate from Republicans in November, they will regain the two-thirds supermajority they lost in 2024. Here’s are the seats Democrats are targeting.
Then, there are 15 state Senate races that are fairly competitive. I’ve got those, including eight that we could be sleeping on in November.
Later, Gov. Kathy Hochul’s campaign has a new ad targeting Republican Bruce Blakeman over his promise to cut Medicaid in half.
