@PatrickSvitek He's not 100% wrong about this. Moulton was a huge prick, and was neither Team Blue Dog or Team Liberal. He was Team Seth Moulton, always.

Trump, whose endorsement record has been mixed in gov primaries, says of his fall travel:

I was laid off today from the Washington Post’s campaigns team covering the midterms and 2028.
I hear this is an important election year — and I want to cover it aggressively. If you’d like to work together, my DMs are open and you can email me at patrick.svitek@gmail.com.
