Good morning and happy Friday! I have another election-themed Q&A for you this morning, taking a look at:

  • What separates “blue wave” predictions this year from “red wave” predictions in 2022

  • The sleeper race of the cycle

  • The fights over government funding and the debt ceiling that loom after Election Day

As always, you can send me questions here. I want to know what you’re thinking as we approach Election Day!

Have a great weekend.

Q: Is the big blue wave prediction at all materially different from the huge red wave prediction in 2022?
