Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) raked in over $3 million in fundraising in the first quarter of the year, outperforming establishment senators and doing so while leftists called for his resignation after he announced his intention to contest to the Electoral College votes ahead of January 6. According to Politico , the Missouri Republican received 57,000 donations in the first three months of the year, totaling over $3 million. Hawley is not up for reelection next year, which makes the haul of particular interest. Of the over $3 million raised, roughly 600,000 was raised in the two and a half weeks following the January 6 Capitol protest, a time when leftists such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) called for his resignation: Three other prominent GOP senators — Marco Rubio of Florida, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Tim Scott of South Carolina — each raised less than one-tenth of Hawley’s haul in the first three months of 2019, the comparable time period leading up to their 2022 … [Read more...] about Josh Hawley Raises over $3 Million in First Quarter

Patriots Will Reportedly Attend Justin Fields’ Second Pro Day This Week
BOSTON (CBS) — The New England Patriots are going to take another look at Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields later this week. And this time, it sounds like they’re sending a lot more than just one of the team’s scouts. Fields is set to throw again in Columbus on Wednesday, and the Patriots and 49ers are the only two teams committed for the showcase at the moment, according to SI’s Albert Breer. Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels could be the one leading Fields’ workout for New England this time around, according to Breer: READ MORE: Taylor Hall Just Wants To Help The Bruins Win Any Way He Can San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch are expected to lead the Niners’ contingent to Ohio State (and North Dakota State too). As for the Patriots, this is subject to change, but I wouldn’t be surprised if offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is leading a group there for New England that will likely also max out the three allowable people, under the 2021 pro day rules. … [Read more...] about Patriots Will Reportedly Attend Justin Fields’ Second Pro Day This Week
Polling data reveal a real opportunity for Democrats
Democrats just got a serious jolt of good electoral news. Fresh off a big win with the American Rescue Plan , which enjoys nearly 70 percent support nationally, Gallup released its political affiliation polling for the first quarter of 2021 and the results were mighty good for left-leaners like us. The data show that 49 percent of American adults identify with the Democratic Party or are independents who lean towards the Democratic Party. That’s a 9-point advantage over the 40 percent who identify with the Republican party or are Republican-leaning independents. This represents the largest quarterly gap in party affiliation since 2012. The typical advantage for Democrats is usually around 4 to 6 points. This is undoubtedly good news for Democrats and bad news for Republicans; GOP identification is close to the lowest ever recorded in Gallup history. But, as strategists, we know that this is no time to gloat. The Trump administration was a dark four years in American … [Read more...] about Polling data reveal a real opportunity for Democrats
