Things Nick Says on Podcasts

“Alme’s nomination was something of a coronation. It was thought that Steve Daines, the incumbent, was going to run for reelection, but as a result of coordination between him and Alme, Daines withdrew and Alme entered, all within the last few minutes before the filing deadline, leaving no time for any other challengers to enter the fray.” — Nick Morris on Kurt Alme, Elections Daily “Ossoff, along with Raphael Warnock, defeated incumbent Republicans David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, respectively, giving Democrats a one seat majority going into the first two years of Joe Biden’s presidency.” — Nick Morris on Jon Ossoff, Elections Daily “Additionally, Ricketts, a multimillionaire, has proven to be an effective punching bag to a populist like Osborn.” — Nick Morris on Pete Ricketts, Elections Daily “That being said, it helps Cooper’s chances tremendously that he has significantly outraised Whatley, and that Republicans seem to have triaged the race.” — Nick Morris on Michael Whatley, Elections Daily “We do know that of the four major Independent candidates, Osborn is by far in the best position to win.” — Nick Morris on Dan Osborn, Elections Daily “Republicans have seemingly all but given up on Collins, and barring a miracle, Democrats should have a lock on this race.” — Nick Morris on Mike Collins, Elections Daily “Husted is very much a mainstream Republican, although a big issue that has driven a wedge between Brown and him is data centers, which Brown opposes and Husted supports.” — Nick Morris on Jon Husted, Elections Daily “Turek won his primary against state senator Zach Wahls, and by all accounts is as strong of a candidate as Democrats could have nominated.” — Nick Morris on Josh Turek, Elections Daily “Hinson, however, doesn’t seem to be faring as well as Republicans had hoped. Although she kicked of her campaign touting her loyalty to President Trump, she has recently turned against him on the issue of the war in Iran, saying that it must come to an “immediate end”.” — Nick Morris on Ashley Hinson, Elections Daily “North Carolina’s Senate race has been cemented as by far the most likely flip for Democrats, after recruiting former two term governor Roy Cooper to run for the seat. … Cooper’s biggest threat right now, it seems, is complacency.” — Nick Morris on Roy Cooper, Elections Daily “Perhaps the best argument against Brown’s chances is if he couldn’t beat a very unorthodox Republican like Moreno, his chances against a much more generic Republican like Husted look very shaky.” — Nick Morris on Sherrod Brown, Elections Daily “The race has focused largely on fisheries and the cost of living, both of which Peltola is perceived as strong on.” — Nick Morris on Mary Peltola, Elections Daily “Republican Susan Collins has held her seat since 1996, owing to her reputation as a moderate, and at 73 years old she’s running for a sixth term. While she remains one of the most moderate Republican senators, she has received flack for voting with Donald Trump on key bills and nominations, as well as for not pushing hard enough against his agenda.” — Nick Morris on Susan Collins, Elections Daily “Jackson has been described as Platner without the baggage. The two share a blue collar background, and espouse similar progressive and populist views.” — Nick Morris on Troy Jackson, Elections Daily “If it’s enthusiasm, crossover appeal and a toxic opponent needed to win Texas, Democrats have a trifecta with Talarico.” — Nick Morris on James Talarico, Elections Daily “Paxton has become nothing short of Republicans’ worst nightmare. … Trump’s endorsement during the primary pushed Paxton over the edge, and Republicans may soon come to resent him for it.” — Nick Morris on Ken Paxton, Elections Daily “El-Sayed has never held elected office before, but is by no means a political newcomer. … He is firmly on the left wing of the party, however he does not identify as a socialist, and seems to avoid the combative, populistic style of old timers like Bernie Sanders.” — Nick Morris on Abdul El-Sayed, Elections Daily
