Thirty House Dems sent President Biden a letter endorsing direct diplomacy with Russia to end the war in Ukraine. But their use of the D word precipitated a torrent of criticism that had some of them backtracking within hours. | Alex Wong/Getty Images | | | | |  | DRIVING THE DAY | | HE'S BACK — JONATHAN MARTIN will join POLITICO as politics bureau chief and a senior political columnist Nov. 1, returning home after spending nearly a decade at the NYT and co-writing the bestseller "This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future" with fellow POLITICO returnee ALEX BURNS. Our executive editor Dafna Linzer writes this morning: "He is one of the great and original voices writing about politics today, and he has concluded POLITICO is the best home for that voice." "Reporting has always been at the heart of his journalism and will be in his new role at POLITICO," Dafna adds. On that note, Jmart beseeched Playbook to put out the word: His DMs are open — "for recordings, documents, tips and ideas — in that order." Full memo … Jmart's first byline in The Politico (Vol. 1, No. 2) ALMOST THERE — 14 days left until Election Day. … 8,213,556 early votes already cast as of 10:24 p.m. Monday, per the United States Elections Project . DIPLOMATIC BACKLASH — "For some of Ukraine's most ardent backers, even talking about diplomacy amounts to appeasement," GIDEON RACHMAN, the chief foreign affairs columnist for the Financial Times, noted last week . Thirty House Democrats led by Congressional Progressive Caucus chair PRAMILA JAYAPAL (D-Wash.) learned this lesson the hard way on Monday, after they sent President JOE BIDEN what they believed was a nuanced and carefully worded letter endorsing direct diplomacy with Russia to end the war in Ukraine . They condemned Russia's "outrageous and illegal invasion of Ukraine," reiterated their support for "a free and independent Ukraine," and they were clear that American "military and economic support" should continue. Unlike House GOP leader KEVIN McCARTHY, they did not hint at voting against future aid packages. But their use of the D word precipitated a torrent of criticism — mostly from fellow Democrats — that had some of them backtracking within hours. (In one notable example, former CPC co-chair MARK POCAN (D-Wis.) told a constituent the missive was written amid different circumstances in July, adding, "I have no idea why it went out now. Bad timing.") The letter's suggestion that Biden ought to "engage in direct talks with Russia" and pursue a new European security arrangement "acceptable for all parties" crossed into ideological territory that remains outside of the Washington foreign policy establishment's Overton window. The reaction was swift. — "VLADIMIR PUTIN would have signed that letter if asked," one member of the House Democratic leadership told Playbook, "That bone-headed letter just put Dems in the same league as Kevin McCarthy, who said in the same week that Ukraine funding could be in jeopardy." — Sen. CHRIS MURPHY (D-Conn.) cited "moral and strategic peril in sitting down with Putin too early." Writing on Twitter , he said, "Sometimes, a bully must be shown the limits of his power before diplomacy can work." — Rep. RUBEN GALLEGO (D-Ariz.), a member of the CPC who did not sign the letter, told Playbook it isn't America's role to force talks: "It's up to the Ukrainians to determine their destiny, and the best way to do that is to support Ukraine in their fight for freedom, their fight for democracy." Jayapal later issued a second statement "clarifying the position of the letter." But rather than clarify, it reversed the heart of the letter's demands. "Diplomacy is an important tool that can save lives — but it is just one tool," she said. "As we also made explicitly clear in our letter and will continue to make clear, we support President Biden and his administration's commitment to nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine." While "nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine" has become a mantra for the Biden administration, the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft's GEORGE BEEBE, who endorsed the Jayapal letter, and Council on Foreign Relations president RICHARD HAAS, who did not, both made clear in The Washington Post this morning that it's a bit of a fiction. — "Simply saying it's up to Ukraine to decide is abdicating the responsibility America's leaders have" to preserve global security, Beebe said, while Haas noted "the United States cannot subcontract out its foreign policy to Ukraine or anybody else." Given the risks of nuclear escalation, Rachman noted in his FT column that the lack of diplomacy was "both striking and worrying." But Monday's episode makes it clear that Washington is barely ready to talk about diplomacy, let alone pursue it. On the other hand, the door has been opened: Biden is dealing with splits at home on both the right and left as Europe heads into a winter that will severely test the unity of the Western coalition against Putin. The D word will be back. TOP TRUMP AIDE TAKES THE FIFTH — In an update on the DONALD TRUMP document investigation, NYT's Michael Schmidt, Maggie Haberman and Alan Feuer report several new details: — Prosecutors are trying to squeeze WALT NAUTA, aka Trump's Diet Coke valet : "Prosecutors have indicated they are skeptical of an initial account Mr. Nauta gave investigators about moving documents stored at Mar-a-Lago and are using the specter of charges against him for misleading investigators to persuade him to sit again for questioning." — KASH PATEL took the Fifth: "Mr. Patel publicly proclaimed that the former president had declassified the records before leaving office. But Mr. Patel refused to answer many questions this month before a grand jury in Washington hearing evidence about Mr. Trump's handling of the documents, citing his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, according to a person briefed on the matter. "In response, prosecutors asked a top federal judge in Washington to force Mr. Patel to testify — a move fought by Mr. Patel's lawyers, who are concerned the government wants to use Mr. Patel's own statements to incriminate him."

| Arizona is one of the midterms' most heated battlegrounds, with closely contested races for U.S. senator, governor and secretary of state, among others, set to be decided Nov. 8. So why is the Arizona Republican Party on track to coast through Election Day with roughly $1 million left unspent in its campaign account? Our colleague Alex Isenstadt reports that former President DONALD TRUMP is among those who have taken notice. He dialed up Arizona GOP Chair KELLI WARD on Monday to push her to unload the unspent funds on candidates he's endorsed in the state over the next two weeks. In a contentious, roughly five-minute phone call, Ward defended not disbursing the cash that remains in the party's campaign account. But Trump pushed back, calling her explanation a "bullshit excuse," according to three people familiar with the discussion. Trump reached out to Ward while meeting with top political advisers, who informed him about the state of the Arizona GOP's coffers. During the call, Trump asked Ward why she hadn't yet invested the funds, and he expressed particular concern about whether MARK FINCHEM — a far-right candidate for secretary of state — was getting enough funding. Ward's refusal to spend to the bottom of her organization's coffers has baffled top Republicans, and it remains unclear to those outside the state party leadership why exactly she is hoarding the funds. Ward — who has otherwise been overwhelmingly loyal to Trump in recent years — declined to address those reasons in a statement to Alex, saying, "President Trump wants all of our Arizona America First candidates to win. And so do I!" BIG PICTURE FAMILIAR STORY — Democrats are worrying that weak Black voter turnout could doom them across the country next month, Holly Otterbein and Elena Schneider report from Philadelphia this morning. They're especially worried about young Black voters and Black men not being enthusiastic about heading to the polls. "At the same time, for many Democrats, fearing a drop in Black turnout is a cyclical tradition that often doesn't come to pass." BUT, BUT, BUT — A week into Georgia's early voting period, the electorate so far is older and Blacker than usual, per Georgia Public Broadcasting's Stephen Fowler . Overall turnout is 60% higher than in 2018. DEMOCRACY WATCH — "Elections weren't in a healthy state pre-2020. Now, we're pushing them to the brink," by The Boston Globe's Tal Kopan: "Unlike after 2000, there is little chance now of both parties agreeing on major reforms — or on much of anything. The American democratic system — which relies entirely on the competency and tirelessness of thousands of local election officials — is facing a test it may not pass." KEYS TO THE KEYSTONE — Former President BARACK OBAMA and Biden will hit the Philly and Pittsburgh areas on Nov. 5 to bolster Democrats JOHN FETTERMAN and JOSH SHAPIRO in key Pennsylvania races, Axios' Hans Nichols reports . BATTLE FOR THE SENATE CLARK COUNTY DISPATCH — Reporting from Las Vegas, Time's Molly Ball finds Democratic Sen. CATHERINE CORTEZ MASTO "smart and diligent but pathologically cautious and lacking personal warmth," fielding skepticism from undocumented immigrants frustrated with the party's failure to protect Dreamers for good. The culinary union is trying to fill some of the Democratic void, with plans to knock on 1.1 million doors, but Republicans are making inroads with working-class Hispanics on economic and social issues. MUCK READ — Sen. RON JOHNSON's (R-Wis.) trust fund for his adult children has paid no state taxes since 2015, WKOW-TV's A.J. Bayatpour reports . For several years before that, the fund paid hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, but beginning in 2016 it benefited from a state tax credit. There's nothing illegal about that — and Johnson has long supported low taxes for everyone — but Democrats are calling the break "another sign of a system skewed toward the wealthy." BIG TEST FOR THE LEFT — Fetterman and MANDELA BARNES could herald breakthrough wins for progressives (even if they now eschew the label) in swing Senate races — or strengthen moderates' case that the left doesn't play well in tough seats, NBC's Alex Seitz-Wald, Jonathan Allen and Natasha Korecki report . "[L]iberals are excited about the possibility of proving the doubters in their own party wrong — and already dreading about what they might say if their candidates lose." FOR YOUR RADAR — Sen. MARCO RUBIO (R-Fla.) denounced an attack on a Republican canvasser in Hialeah as politically motivated. But it's not clear if that was the case: Police said there was no indication so far of politics playing a role in the alleged assault, per the Miami Herald . The victim, CHRISTOPHER MONZON, was wearing a Rubio shirt; the Miami New Times reports that he's an alleged former white supremacist who was reported to have marched in Charlottesville. HAPPENING TODAY — "Fetterman and Oz Meet in Only Debate in Pivotal Pennsylvania U.S. Senate Race," Bloomberg BATTLE FOR THE HOUSE CRIME PAYS — In the final weeks of the campaign, crime is front and center in ads from both parties — from violence to gun control to police funding, Sarah Ferris reports . It's a bleak rhetorical landscape that taps into voter fears — and it's not just about "defund the police." GOP ads highlight bail reform, rising violent crime rates and more. Dems, meanwhile, are highlighting gun reforms and seeking to shore up their law-and-order cred. HOW PELOSI SEES IT — With her grip on the speakership endangered, NANCY PELOSI is full steam ahead and "in constant campaign mode, regularly holding Zoom calls with candidates and briefings for thousands of volunteers," NYT's Carl Hulse reports from Downers Grove, Ill. Racing around the country to prop up her candidates, Pelosi says she can't imagine Republicans winning, and she won't entertain thoughts of hanging it up. "For Ms. Pelosi, the frenzied journey to Nov. 8 is not a last hurrah — it's just her latest sprint to the finish." TRIAGE TIME — The DCCC seems to be mostly bailing on Rep. TOM MALINOWSKI (D-N.J.), the New Jersey Globe's David Wildstein reports . Officially, the group says they're still committed to him.
| | | | A message from Meta:   | | | BATTLE FOR THE STATES UP FOR DEBATE — Florida Gov. RON DeSANTIS faced off with Rep. CHARLIE CRIST in their only debate Monday, attacking each other in personal terms and disagreeing on everything from the pandemic to property insurance. Pressed by Crist on his 2024 presidential ambitions, DeSantis notably declined to commit to serving a full term if reelected. DeSantis dodged on an abortion question but played up his legislation restricting classroom instruction on gender and sexuality; Crist, meanwhile, said he was more pro-business than the incumbent. More from the Orlando Sentinel NYT's Patricia Mazzei : "The pressure was on Crist to try to sharply change the dynamics in the race. I don't think he did, though he gave a polished performance. DeSantis did, too, though he will most likely face criticism … of appearing a little uncomfortable at times."

Her lead is even smaller in a survey from American Greatness/Insider Advantage : 47.6% to 47.1%. — Alaska: The latest Alaska Survey Research poll finds Democratic Rep. MARY PELTOLA winning in the second round of ranked-choice voting, even before either of her two GOP opponents are knocked out. It also has Murkowski triumphing over fellow Republican Tshibaka 55.5% to 44.5%. — Minnesota: In a House district that narrowly stayed Republican in a special election this year, Rep. BRAD FINSTAD is beating Democrat JEFF ETTINGER 46% to 37%, per KSTP-TV/SurveyUSA . — Washington: Democratic Sen. PATTY MURRAY is leading TIFFANY SMILEY 48% to 42%, per a new GOP poll from KAConsulting/Citizens United. HOT ADS — Georgia: Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America's affiliated PAC is putting $1 million behind ads that hit Democratic Sen. RAPHAEL WARNOCK and STACEY ABRAMS for being too extreme on abortion — trying to flip the script on an issue where Republicans have been on the defensive, per The Washington Times' Valerie Richardson .

Democrats would probably need 10 Senate Republicans to join them; Sen. SUSAN COLLINS (R-Maine) is supportive. But "[t]he White House disputes that any such conversation with congressional leaders has taken place." CONGRESS TOP-ED — "The Wreckage of Neoliberalism," by Sen. Chris Murphy in The Atlantic : "The postwar neoliberal economic project is nearing its end. The question is who will write the last chapter, the Democrats or the totalitarians?" ANNALS OF INFLUENCE — As Congress weighed a bill this year to codify same-sex and interracial marriage rights, top corporations pushed the Hill to vote yes, Hailey Fuchs reports . Altria, Dell, General Mills, Toyota and the trade association for Big Tech were among those lobbying in support of the legislation. NO SASSING SASSE — The University of Florida said it will enforce a long-standing rule that prohibits protests inside buildings on campus, as student outcry continues over the selection of Sen. BEN SASSE (R-Neb.) as the next university president. More from WCJB-TV JUDICIARY SQUARE SCOTUS WATCH — As SAMUEL ALITO sought a Supreme Court seat, he told Sen. TED KENNEDY that he considered Roe v. Wade 's ruling on a right to privacy "settled" and would adhere to precedents in the matter, John Farrell reports in the NYT . The comments — which Alito, of course, did not stick to — are revealed in heretofore private portions of Kennedy's diary being published in Farrell's "Ted Kennedy: A Life" ( $40 ), which comes out today. KNOWING EDWARD BLUM — The man who could finally topple race-based affirmative action in college admissions will have his seventh and eighth cases heard at the Supreme Court next week. WaPo's Robert Barnes goes to South Thomaston, Maine , to profile Blum, who's usually awake by 4:30 a.m., "scrolling the internet and looking for someone to sue." BARRACKS ROW — Taking the stand at his trial Monday, TOM BARRACK denied that he acted as a foreign agent of the United Arab Emirates. The head of Trump's 2016 inaugural committee also said he "unquestionably" regretted his support of the Trump campaign and administration and called Trump's tenure "disastrous" for his company.

| | | | A message from Meta:   | | | AMERICA AND THE WORLD WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE — Saudi Crown Prince MOHAMMED BIN SALMAN privately mocks Biden's mental abilities and says he likes Trump much better, WSJ's Stephen Kalin, Summer Said and Dion Nissenbaum report in a look at the cratering of U.S.-Saudi relations. The Saudis found Biden unengaged when he visited the kingdom this summer. And the two men's personal enmity has tanked broader ties between the putative allies. "The path ahead is likely to be rocky. At risk for Washington are counterterrorism operations, efforts to contain Iran and Israel's deeper integration into the region. For the Saudis, a breakdown with the U.S. would jeopardize its national security and ambitious economic reforms." SPY GAMES — The Justice Department laid out three criminal cases Monday against alleged Chinese espionage attempts. One entails an apparent effort to bribe a U.S. government employee for info on the Huawei investigation. (The feds say that person instead helped set up an FBI sting.) Others involve a scheme to get a Chinese-born U.S. national to return to China, and a push to get information from American academic institutions. But most of the people charged are overseas and haven't been arrested.
