Donald Trump’s apparent inability to stay on message is grating on some of his Republican allies on Capitol Hill, who worry the 2024 election is slipping away from their party.
Republican lawmakers fear that an unfocused campaign could doom their chances of winning control of Congress — a concern voiced by the leader of the House GOP’s campaign arm in a call with colleagues on Thursday evening.

Project 2025 Is the GOP’s Biggest Political Loser

There’s a good reason Donald Trump and his campaign are so desperate to distance themselves from the classified-sounding Project 2025: The Heritage Foundation’s blueprint for a second Trump administration is politically radioactive.
A Democratic operative who has seen private polling on how a number of issues could move the 2024 presidential election — like health care, the economy and immigration — told NOTUS that, improbably, no issue was benefiting Democrats more than Project 2025. And, predictably, Democrats are capitalizing on the unpopular plan.
Democratic lawmakers and campaign operatives are trying to attach Trump and Republicans to Project 2025 at every opportunity, which, it turns out, hasn’t been too hard.

Trump Needs to Win Georgia

…Georgia, and its 16 Electoral College votes, is increasingly becoming a pivotal state that Mr. Trump can’t lose. If Ms. Harris is able to carry Georgia – and Mr. Trump seems to be trying to help her by inexplicably attacking the popular incumbent Republican governor and his wife – then she would have 242 electoral votes, only 28 short of the 270 needed to win.
Mr. Trump may not understand the political consequences of losing Georgia, but his advisers appear to: His campaign and biggest aligned super PAC spent four times as much in advertising in the state in the two weeks since Ms. Harris became the Democratic Party nominee as they did in the rest of 2024 combined. And in this coming week, of the $37 million in ad buys that the Trump campaign has placed nationally, almost $24 million are in Georgia.
