Conservative: Swing-State Dems’ Telling Ads
Democratic Sens. Bob Casey (Pa.), Sherrod Brown (Ohio) and Tammy Baldwin (Wisc.) and Senate candidate Rep.

Donald Trump enjoys “an edge” in the presidential race, reports Mark Penn at The Wall Street Journal, but it “could easily disappear.” Trump leads because he “dominates” on core issues (immigration, inflation, crime), “voters have more confidence in him” on foreign-policy matters and he’s cut the Democrats’ lead among blacks and Latinos. But “you can’t count Harris out.” She’s confronted her “weaknesses,” changed her unpopular positions, cut Trump’s lead on economic issues and “convinced 54% of voters” her rival would “push” for a national abortion ban (though he’s said he wouldn’t).
