At the Races: Closing time - Roll Call

lonk.indah.link

Double dipping: Some Senate candidates have been teaming up with the Biden campaign this week. In Maine, where the DSCC is making a last-minute ad buy, Democrat Sara Gideon participated in an event with Jill Biden. And this week, Georgia Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock both took the stage at a Biden rally in the Peach State.

Who’s ready for 2022??: Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson announced this week he’s launching a run against Wisconsin GOP Sen. Ron Johnson in 2022. (Johnson initially said he would only serve two terms, but he left the door open for another run last year.) In Ohio, Buzzfeed News reported that Democrats launched a fund to support Republican incumbent Rob Portman’s eventual opponent, hoping to capitalize on a burst of fundraising around Barrett’s Supreme Court confirmation.

Media moguls: After the elections, the Lincoln Project, the effort of anti-Trump Republican strategists, may morph into a media company. Axios reports that the group is in talks with the United Talent Agency to help build out Lincoln Media and is weighing offers from different television studios, podcast networks and book publishers.

GOP $ in the Banks: The Guardian Fund, a PAC chaired by Indiana GOP Rep. Jim Banks that was originally founded by former Rep. Allen B. West, endorsed four more candidates this week: Michelle Steel in California’s 48th District and three other Republicans in safe Democratic seats. The PAC aims to support Republicans of color and veterans running in Democratic territory. So far this cycle, the Guardian Fund has backed 65 candidates, making $250,000 worth of direct contributions and $500,000 in independent expenditures. Banks could direct even more political spending next year, since he’s running unopposed to chair the conservative Republican Study Committee, giving him control over the House Conservatives Fund.

Both sides of the mic: Brent Roske takes Jason Dick on his journey from working on a TV series about  a fictional House candidate, to becoming a candidate himself, to talking with candidates running in Iowa now.
