Rep. Kevin McCarthy speaks during a weekly news conference at the U.S. Capitol May 7, 2020. | Alex Wong/Getty Images | | | | |  | DRIVING THE DAY | | TWITTER GOES ELECTRIC — @elonmusk at 11:49 p.m. on Thursday : "the bird is freed." … Musk finally closed his purchase of Twitter late Thursday, and WaPo's Faiz Siddiqui and Elizabeth Dwoskin report that he immediately fired a slate of top executives, including CEO PARAG AGRAWAL, CFO NED SEGAL, head of legal, policy and trust VIJAYA GADDE and general counsel SEAN EDGETT. … What comes next: "Musk owns Twitter — and Washington awaits Trump's return," by Rebecca Kern JUST POSTED — "'Raise the challenge': Eastman exhorts poll watchers to build a record," by Heidi Przybyla: "Trump's Jan. 6 adviser's comments in leaked recording of New Mexico meeting hint at post-election efforts to overturn votes." THE PLAYBOOK INTERVIEW: DAN CONSTON — How would you spend a quarter of a billion dollars on the 2022 midterms? This week on the Playbook Deep Dive podcast, we chatted with the 37-year-old operative overseeing just such a budget. Conston is the president of the Congressional Leadership Fund, the super PAC aligned with Rep. KEVIN McCARTHY with the singular mission of making the California Republican speaker of the House. And most forecasts suggest that Conston and CLF are on the verge of success. In a candid hour-plus interview, Coston took Playbook behind the scenes of CLF's operation. We talked about the issues and demographics of this election, emerging GOP opportunities in the final days of the campaign and the inside strategies that one of the best-funded super PACs in American politics uses to take down its Democratic opponents. You can listen to the full interview here . What follows are some lightly edited highlights for our loyal newsletter readers: On the shift in the political environment since the summer: "Democrats had an excellent July and August. A big part of it was Dobbs. A big part of it was [President JOE ] BIDEN passing the Inflation Reduction Act, which helped with his base. … It didn't help him with the middle — he's still losing independents by a country mile. But it helped him with his base, and that brought the political environment a lot closer together: Where we had huge advantages prior, we then had kind of modest advantages. "What has changed since — and this is what I think is missed in the topline of a survey, but we are picking up in ours — is that we are moving Democrat images with ease. … If you're running in a tough political environment, you're swimming upstream, you're not moving numbers. It took us six weeks to move numbers last cycle. In 2018, [it was] very difficult to move numbers even when you [had] a great message. We are moving numbers against Democrat incumbents with ease at this point. And that says to us that, actually, the environment is a little bit better than the topline suggests."
| 
| On what he's optimistic about, and what concerns him: "Of the 21 incumbents we're spending against, we['ve] got 14 at 47% or less. We think if you're at 47% or less at this point in the cycle, you're a sitting duck. Most of them are 45% or less. So we feel good about that. … "If there is a fear, it's: Do we get enough Republicans turning out in some of these blue-collar districts where we need a Trump-style turnout number in order to overcome an ancestrally Democrat district?" On how CLF has effectively tarred Democratic incumbents: "The thing we look for in incumbents is their image and what we can do to their image. If you're an incumbent and … you're more unpopular than you are popular, then you're in big trouble. "We have quite a few examples where we have moved incumbent Democrats double-digit negatives on their net favorability over the last seven weeks. VICENTE GONZALEZ , good example. So this is the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, TX-34. Gonzalez's image was +12 over the summer. We now have him -6. We've moved him 18 points negative on his image. … "A race that's gotten a lot of attention recently in Connecticut: This is a district Joe Biden won by 11 points. It's Hartford, Connecticut. This is a tough district. … We had JOHANNA HAYES's image +8 in the summer. We have now moved her 13 points negative, to -5. We have her losing in this race. She's running against a moderate African American state senator named GEORGE LOGAN. We think this has the potential to be one of the really big flier pickup opportunities late — a race that we just shouldn't have been competing for and we think that we can win." On the effort to defeat the head of the DCCC: "We had SEAN PATRICK MALONEY's image +8 in the summer. We've been able to take him to even on his image. … We think we have a really credible shot of beating him." On how the issue of crime has evolved since 2020: "Last cycle, if we used 'defund the police' in sort of Trumpian terms, we got the Republicans, but we alienated people that didn't like Trump. … There's less of a concern [about alienating people] this cycle." On how the GOP messages the economy to blue-collar vs. white-collar voters: "Our tone is completely different in blue-collar districts where we are trying to build economic resentment of what Democrats are doing to hurt the economy — 'to help their friends in the economy while you are getting screwed' — versus what we're running in Orange County or northern New Jersey, which is much more just the facts: 'Here's what's happened to your 401k, to the economy. Here is why you are disadvantaged by this.'" On his prediction for the House: "We are in a position to get to the high end of what the prognosticators say, which is 20, 22 seats, get us into the 230s [out of 435 members]. The map is so small because there's just no swing seats after redistricting. So getting into the 230s … represents picking off a lot of seats that Biden won by seven, eight, nine points. And I think that that actually is a red wave." Listen here … And be sure to subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify

AP Photo | For months, JOE BIDEN and DONALD TRUMP have been shadow-boxing on the campaign trail — zig-zagging across the country on parallel paths that never quite intersected. That's about to change. On the final weekend before Election Day, both men will campaign in Pennsylvania — "the must-win battleground has emerged as a proxy fight between the two," report Christopher Cadelago and Meridith McGraw . "The stops foreshadow a likely 2024 rematch and escalate the posturing … that's been simmering since Biden vanquished Trump two years ago, thanks in large part to reclaiming Pennsylvania," they write. — For Biden: "He clearly feels more comfortable returning to Pennsylvania than he does traveling to the other battleground states," Christopher told us on Thursday night. "It's not just evident in the numbers — he's been back there exponentially more times than almost anywhere else — but also in the way he talks about his Scranton roots and even the level of detail he shares with people about the state of the Senate race between JOHN FETTERMAN and MEHMET OZ. "While the White House and Biden allies are confident they'll at least walk away from the midterms with a split decision at the top of the ticket with JOSH SHAPIRO expected to win, it would still be a psychological blow to the president to lose a Senate race in his own backyard and a must-win state in 2024." — For Trump: "He has bragged about his track record with endorsements, but gubernatorial candidate DOUG MASTRIANO has been lagging in the polls behind Shapiro, and Oz still isn't a shoe-in even after Fetterman's debate performance this week," Meridith told Playbook. "For Trump, Pennsylvania is not only a test of his kingmaker claims but his own 2024 prospects, too. Trump lost PA to Biden in 2020, and if Trump-backed candidates in the state lose at a time when Republicans claim the political winds should be at their back, it allows critics and opponents to say once again, Trump blew it." BIG PICTURE DEMS' EARLY VOTE WORRY — Despite high overall turnout so far, early voting rates among young people have collapsed compared to 2020 — leaving Democrats concerned about whether they'll cast ballots this year, Jessica Piper reports . "They could still show up to the polls on Election Day. But their disappearance from the ranks of early voters so far puts Democrats at a disadvantage, because the party still has to chase their votes instead of banking them ahead of Nov. 8." — One first-time Gen Z voter who will be casting their ballot early: NATALIE BIDEN. On Saturday, she'll accompany her grandfather, President Joe Biden, as they both vote in Delaware. More from AP Speaking of the early vote…
- In Georgia: Through Day 10 of early voting, 1.25+ million ballots cast. That's slightly behind 2020's pace, but 22% higher than the same point in 2018, via the Georgia secretary of State .
THE COUNTING MESS — Nevada Secretary of State BARBARA CEGAVSKE told Nye County to "halt a first-of-its-kind hand count of mail-in votes after the state Supreme Court warned the current process violates Nevada election law," AP's Gabe Stern, Ken Ritter and Scott Sonner report . Here's a taste of what the hand counting was like, via Stern : "Two groups of five that The Associated Press observed Wednesday spent about three hours each counting 50 ballots. Mismatched tallies led to recounts, and occasionally more recounts. Several noted how arduous the process was, with one volunteer lamenting: 'I can't believe it's two hours to get through 25' ballots." WHO WATCHES THE WATCHMEN? — "Drop box watchers in Arizona connected to national effort from '2000 Mules' creators," by Votebeat Arizona's Jen Fifield BATTLE FOR THE SENATE THE STATE OF PLAY — "Battle for Senate control marked by volatility as midterms near," by WaPo's Liz Goodwin and Hannah Knowles: "As the race for Senate control enters its final, candidate-by-candidate stage of the campaign, political prognosticators find themselves at a loss trying to predict what's going to happen." — Even Senate Majority Leader CHUCK SCHUMER doesn't have a handle on where things are headed. As Biden arrived in Syracuse on Thursday, he chatted with Schumer at the airport, where Schumer was picked up on a hot mic: "It looks like the debate didn't hurt us too much in Pennsylvania as of today, so that's good … We're picking up steam in Nevada … The state where we're going downhill is Georgia. It's hard to believe that they will go for HERSCHEL WALKER." ( h/t WaPo's @RiegerReport ) — Oh, and just for good measure: FiveThirtyEight moved its Senate projection to a "dead heat" on Thursday night, giving Dems a 52% chance of winning the chamber — their worst odds since July 27. MAN OF THIEL — Puck's @teddyschleifer : "PETER THIEL is planning to do another fundraiser for BLAKE MASTERS in the closing days of the Arizona Senate race, I'm told. Probably going to be next Thursday, November 3, in Phoenix." BIG IN PHILLY — "Democrats will swing at Oz with an abortion ad during the World Series," by the Philly Inquirer's Jonathan Tamari: "The spot is expected to cost about $100,000 for a single airing on Philly's Fox29, a huge sum even in a race that has already cost nearly $320 million. (For comparison's sake, a weekday ad during Fox29′s 6 o'clock news cost the same group $700.)" JUST POSTED — "In G.O.P. Ad Wars, Trump Takes an Uncharacteristic Supporting Role," by NYT's Michael Bender
| | | | A message from Meta:   | | | BATTLE FOR THE HOUSE DEEP DIVE — "The 2022 Race for the House, in Four Districts, and Four Polls," by NYT's Shane Goldmacher and Nate Cohn: "The poll results in the four districts — an upscale suburb in Kansas, the old industrial heartland of Pennsylvania, a fast-growing part of Las Vegas and a sprawling district along New Mexico's southern border — offer deeper insights beyond the traditional Republican and Democratic divide in the race for Congress. They show how the midterm races are being shaped by larger and at times surprising forces that reflect the country's ethnic, economic and educational realignment." — Companion piece: "Times/Siena Polls in Four House Races Offer Democrats Some Hope," by Nate Cohn HEAVY MEDDLE — "Democratic group boosts Libertarian candidate in hotly-contested Flint-area U.S. House race," by the Detroit News' Riley Beggin and Melissa Nann Burke HISTORY IN THE MAKING — "Vermont has never sent a woman to Congress. That could finally change," by WaPo's Joanna Slater in Burlington BATTLE FOR THE STATES A NEW YORK MINUTE — The New York gubernatorial race is tightening as the midterms rapidly approach. Even though Gov. KATHY HOCHUL still leads in polls, the margin is oscillating and Democrats are worried, "pouring millions of dollars into last-minute ads and staging a whirlwind of campaign rallies to energize their base amid concerns that their typically reliable bedrock of Black and Latino voters might not turn out," NYT's Luis Ferré-Sadurní and Nicholas Fandos write . — "Zeldin Campaign Investigated Over Charge of Coordinating With Super PACs," by NYT's Nicholas Fandos and Dana Rubinstein ARIZONA UPDATE — "Phoenix police identify man arrested on suspicion of burglary in Hobbs' campaign office break-in," by the Arizona Republic's Taylor Seely and Stacey Barchenger HOT ADS Via Steve Shepard — Ohio: In her latest ad , Democratic Rep. MARCY KAPTUR says, "It's wrong for extremists like J.R. MAJEWSKI to threaten violence or join an angry mob that assaults our police. But the far left is wrong, too. We should always stand for the national anthem, and defunding the police is ridiculous." — Arizona: The Thiel-funded Saving Arizona PAC hits Democratic Sen. MARK KELLY on immigration. "Joe Biden failed on the border," a narrator intones . "And Mark Kelly helped him do it." — Texas: "I don't think GREG ABBOTT wakes up in the morning wanting to see our kids shot in their schools, for property taxes to go up $20 billion, or for the [energy] grid to fail," Democrat BETO O'ROURKE says in his closing-argument ad . "But after eight years, he's been unable to fix these problems. He's failed us." — Oregon: Democratic gubernatorial candidate TINA KOTEK is putting former President BARACK OBAMA'S video endorsement on the air in a state where Obama got 57 percent and 55 percent of the vote in his two elections.

But what does Kevin McCarthy stand for?" by L.A. Times' Jeffrey Fleishman and Nolan McCaskill The view from Speaker NANCY PELOSI: "I have served under four presidents as speaker or leader. I served with many leaders on the Republican side. Unfortunately, that gentleman [McCarthy] is the least substantive person. There is nothing of substance there." And here's FRANK LUNTZ , a longtime GOP operative and ally of McCarthy: "Kevin does not play victimization politics. … When he gets compared to Donald Trump, that is the single biggest difference between them. Donald Trump from Day One was a victim. Kevin from Day One has never been a victim.

"So far, the California Democrat has been using it for the benefit of others," our colleague Chris Cadelago writes this morning . "Newsom tapped his email list and fundraising events to help spread more than $6 million to other Democratic candidates and causes ahead of the election, advisers tell POLITICO, with much going to fellow gubernatorial candidates. He's planning to do more for other candidates before Nov. 8." TRUMP CARDS THE GEORGIA INVESTIGATION — Fulton County prosecutors are pleading with the Supreme Court to reject Sen.
