“Rep. Haley Stevens has requested U.S. marshals’ protection after the Democrat told authorities she had received death threats for endorsing Republican Mike Rogers in the swing state’s hotly contested Senate race,” Axios reports.

“Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hasn’t publicly announced whether she will seek higher office with a presidential or Senate run in 2028,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“But her campaign is already touting her 2026 work, including endorsing candidates across the country, fundraising for Democrats and energizing Latino voters, as a success.”

“Twelve out-of-state political canvassers sued Rep. Mike Lawler’s reelection campaign and several consulting firms for allegedly paying as little as $1 per door knocked and firing them after they complained about unfair labor practices and discrimination,” Bloomberg reports.

“The defendants engaged in a fraudulent bait-and-switch by using recruitment materials for the New York Republican congressman’s campaign that promised a weekly base salary of $1,200 to $3,000, free housing, and covered travel costs from September through election day, the workers said in a complaint filed Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.”

“A congressional staffer who has worked with four representatives over the past four years, including GOP Senate hopeful Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA), appears closely tied to an anonymous social media account that denigrates female politicians, promotes political violence, calls for an end to democracy and laments the existence of civil rights laws, among other views,” the Washington Post reports.

”Details shared in posts on the account connect it to 25-year-old Jonathon Hatzistefanou, who works as a legislative assistant for Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL) and served as a former staff assistant for Collins, the Georgia Republican locked in a bitter fight for a Senate seat with Sen. Jon Ossoff (D).”

“In what can only be described as a remarkable moment of television, Rep. Haley Stevens took to CNN late Sunday to explain her endorsement of Republican Mike Rogers — but the interview quickly dissolved into a confrontational exchange that had the next guest stunned,” the Washington Sun reports.

Said Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI): “This was one of the most painful interviews I’ve ever watched.”

“Several House Democrats say they support removing Haley Stevens from the Democratic caucus after she endorsed Republican Mike Rogers in the Michigan Senate race,” Politico reports.

“Eight House Democrats privately told Politico they want Stevens removed or for her to be somehow punished by leadership. Stevens was also removed from a series of House Democratic member text chats Sunday.”

Ron Brownstein: “The first big indications of the night’s direction will come primarily from races in the East, because polls close earliest in the region.”

“In Virginia, where polls close at 7 p.m. (all closing times are Eastern), a Democratic win in the VA-2 House race will be a sign the party is on track for a solid performance. In that race, former Democratic Rep. Elaine Luria is pursuing a rematch against Republican Jen Kiggans, who beat her in 2022 in a district Trump carried by less than a point in 2024. Not winning this race would be an early sign that Democrats are underperforming.”

“If Democrats also win the VA-1 congressional seat, that will augur a larger wave. In that seat, Republican Rob Wittman is straining to hold off Democrat Shannon Taylor in a seat Trump carried by five points. If former Democratic Rep. Tom Perriello ousts Republican Rep. John McGuire, who is finishing his first term in VA-5 — a seat Trump carried by 12 points — it will signal the party is on track to win even more than the 235 seats they captured in 2018.”

“Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) is endorsing a trio of insurgent Democratic candidates who are challenging his fellow California House Democrats,” Axios reports.

“This is an aggressive move by a potential 2028 presidential contender who styles himself as one of the few Democrats willing to get into direct confrontations with the party establishment.”

Cook Political Report: “We’re now projecting that Democrats will flip 12 to 25 seats, giving them as many as 240 seats in the House. Under the updated ratings, if Democrats win the seats they’re favored in, along with all 18 Toss Ups, they would have 240 seats.”

“If the bottom completely falls out for Republicans, Democrats could flip some seats in the Lean Republican and Likely Republican columns as well. Republicans are particularly concerned about turnout in places like North Carolina and Pennsylvania, where Democrats are poised to win statewide races by comfortable margins.”
