With apologies, I’ve got a correction to tonight’s newsletter. In discussing key Senate races where Trump endorsed candidates lost, I incorrectly identified Ohio Senator JD Vance, who won, when the list should have included Blake Masters, the Arizona candidate who lost to Mark Kelly.
Those of you who follow me on Twitter know that I’ve had to gently correct people a number of times when they thought I was related to, or even married to JD Vance, which of course, I am not. I suppose this was my subconscious at work, hoping I wouldn’t be doing that for the next six years, but I sincerely regret the error.

I think it was wishful thinking. Tim Ryan was such a perfect candidate for Ohio, and he was a class act. He confirmed this when he used his concession speech to say, "I have the privilege to concede this race to JD Vance, because, in this country, when you lose an election you concede." He kicked the Republicans in the teeth, while being incredibly honorable!
If you had been married to JD, we would have thrown you a divorce party.
Errors happen, and there is SO much going on!
