Trump campaigns in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, for MEHMET OZ and DOUG MASTRIANO. FIRST ROE, NOW BAKKE — Another landmark Supreme Court decision from the 1970s is likely to fall. This morning, SCOTUS will hear oral arguments in two cases challenging the use of race in college admissions at Harvard and the University of North Carolina. There is little mystery about the outcome. Previous attempts to overturn the use of affirmative action by colleges have failed. In 2003, Justice SANDRA DAY O'CONNOR, nominated by RONALD REAGAN, provided the decisive vote in Grutter v. Bollinger. In 2016, Justice ANTHONY KENNEDY, another Reagan nominee, did the same in Fisher v. University of Texas. Those cases narrowed the use of race in admissions to one permissible goal: diversity. But the court has changed radically since 2016, and the six conservative justices have a history of hostility to Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, the 1978 opinion that first blessed college affirmative action programs. As the court made clear in Dobbs, if five justices believe that an old case is "egregiously wrong," 40-plus years of precedent don't matter. And Chief Justice JOHN ROBERTS is unlikely to play the role of bridge-builder as he did in the ACA-saving NFIB v. Sebelius , when he was successful, and in Dobbs, when he wasn't. On rolling back affirmative action, Roberts is the chief hawk on the court. His two most oft-quoted lines on the issue come from the earliest days of his SCOTUS tenure. "It is a sordid business, this divvying us up by race," Roberts wrote in a 2006 gerrymandering case . "The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race," he wrote in a 2007 school desegregration case . It was in that latter opinion that Roberts best articulated the conservative view of Brown v. Board of Education, which is at the heart of the cases that will be heard today. Brown, he insisted, quoting one of the plaintiff's lawyers at oral arguments in 1952, concluded that "no state has any authority under the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment to use race as a factor in affording educational opportunities among its citizens." This line has become the legal rallying cry of Students for Fair Admissions, the plaintiff in today's cases, so expect to hear it more than once if you listen to the live audio stream of the proceedings . For Harvard and UNC, as Adam Liptak writes in the Times this morning , Brown was not strictly about color-blindness: "Brown meant to do away with a racial caste system that subjugated Black students, and that the decision surely allowed efforts to assemble varied student bodies to ensure educational diversity." The seemingly pre-ordained opinions in these cases won't be handed down until the spring, but they will have a profound effect. The legal right's view that affirmative action discriminates against whites and Asians, as today's two lawsuits allege, is colliding with the political right's stoking of a narrative about alleged reverse discrimnation harming white Americans. Just today, Meridith McGraw reports , it came to light that a group launched by former Trump aide STEPHEN MILLER is running a radio ad alleging that the Biden administration pushes policies designed to damage white people. "When did racism against white people become OK?" the ad begins. "JOE BIDEN put white people last in line for Covid relief funds. KAMALA HARRIS said disaster aid should go to non-white citizens first. Liberal politicians block access to medicine based on skin color. Progressive corporations, airlines, universities all openly discriminate against white Americans. Racism is always wrong. The left's anti-white bigotry must stop." It was widely understood that the votes to overturn Roe existed, but the full political impact of the decision was hard to grasp until it was released. With Dobbs, abortion policy returned to the states. That won't happen if affirmative action is banned in college admissions. It will be illegal everywhere. Evidence from state-level bans in places like Michigan and California suggest that Black and Latino student populations at top universities would decline significantly. Bloomberg's Kelsey Butler and Patricia Hurtado note that's one reason that "[n]early 70 major U.S. companies, including Alphabet Inc.'s Google, General Electric Co., and JetBlue Airways Corp. warned in a brief to the court that without affirmative action they'll lose access to 'a pipeline of highly qualified future workers and business leaders' — and will struggle to meet diversity hiring goals they've set." Race-conscious affirmative action with the goal of achieving widespread diversity is deeply ingrained in most elite institutions, not just universities. In her 2003 opinion, O'Connor said that "in order to cultivate a set of leaders with legitimacy in the eyes of the citizenry, it is necessary that the path to leadership be visibly opened to talented and qualified individuals of every race and ethnicity." Bloomberg columnist NOAH FELDMAN, who teaches law at Harvard, recently noted that it was Bakke, and the Supreme Court's long history upholding it, that helped mainstream this diversity gospel. What's going to happen when SCOTUS rips up its foundation? Good Monday morning, and Happy Halloween. Thanks for reading Playbook.

| With eight days left, the battle for control of the Senate centers on the outcome in a few states where "the contests are close enough that they could go either way," Holly Otterbein and Jessica Piper write this morning . Where things stand: In Pennsylvania, Fetterman's one-time advantage over Oz "has all but evaporated, with him ahead by 1 percentage point or less in polling averages," the pair write. "Though Democrats remain on top in Arizona and New Hampshire, the Senate races there are tightening. In Wisconsin, GOP Sen. RON JOHNSON has slowly grown his lead to a modest 3 points, while in Nevada, Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto is in a dead heat. And in Georgia, Democrats fear that Republican HERSCHEL WALKER is gaining despite his myriad personal scandals." Reminder: The GOP needs to net only one seat to win back control of the Senate. A GOP edge on the trend lines: "Senate GOP candidates in several key states have momentum in the polls. And even some Democrats acknowledge that," Holly told Playbook on Sunday night. "But the races are still very close, and they could go either way. One quote from the cutting-room floor came from CHRIS MOTTOLA , a Republican consultant, who said that means the final days of the campaign could have a real impact: 'What is rare is there are a number of races where closing tactics and quality of spots will matter more than usual.'" But it's a mixed picture when it comes to actual voting: "Early voting numbers vary widely among the key Senate states, with Democrats maintaining their strong share of the early vote compared to 2020 in a state such as Pennsylvania, while Republicans have made up ground slightly in Arizona compared to two years ago," Jessica told us. "These comparisons are difficult given how the pandemic, legal changes and Trump's rhetoric have affected use of mail and in-person early voting, but they generally suggest a close environment where independent voters and Election Day turnout will matter." — New polls: "Senate Control Hinges on Neck-and-Neck Races, Times/Siena Poll Finds," NYT's Lisa Lerer and Ruth Igielnik BIG PICTURE DEMS TRY ONE MESSAGE SHIFT … Some Democrats are turning their messaging to warning that Republicans want to reform Social Security and Medicare, fearing that abortion rights won't be sufficient to carry Dems across the finish line, WaPo's Hannah Knowles reports from Maple Valley, Wash. There, Democratic Rep. KIM SCHRIER is trying to hammer MATT LARKIN on entitlements, though he says he won't cut them. In several districts, DCCC guidelines "have removed or de-emphasized abortion in favor of other messages." But Knowles finds several voters for whom abortion is still top of mind — and even pushing them toward Schrier, despite skepticism of Dems. … AND ANOTHER: Maybe zeroing on Jan. 6 and threats to democracy can sway some undecided voters late? That's what some Democrats are attempting with targeted ads and door knocks in the final week, CNN's Isaac Dovere reports . THE CLOSER — "Democrats turn to Obama to rescue them from a midterm shellacking," by Chris Cadelago A FABLED DEMOGRAPHIC — White working-class voters in areas like Northeast Pennsylvania have transformed the nation's politics in recent years by shifting toward Republicans. Now, both parties are still battling to win them over — and this is "where the Democratic Party has, in some ways, both the furthest to fall and the most to gain," NYT's Shane Goldmacher reports from Scranton. He finds Democrats struggling to hold on to voters who may like the party's economic message but are turned off by its approach to social issues. BATTLE FOR THE SENATE STAFF REPORT — Two staffers for Oz attended the Jan. 6 "Stop the Steal" rally at the Capitol, Rolling Stone's Asawin Suebsaeng and Adam Rawnsley report . — A Nevada operative who was on Nevada Republican ADAM LAXALT's payroll as recently as August was behind an anonymous Twitter account posting bigoted comments, Jewish Insider's Matthew Kassel reveals . MICHAEL PECJAK's "LaxaltStan" account said "guns should have more rights than women"; said LGBT rights advocates are "going to hell"; and made other striking comments about Jews, the Confederacy, transgender children, disabled people, QAnon and more. The Laxalt campaign distanced itself from him. BATTLE FOR THE HOUSE RED WAVE — Here's how bad things are getting for Democrats in blue areas: The NRCC is adding six figures each to campaigns in three Biden +20 districts, Axios' Andrew Solender reports . The money targets Reps. JOE MORELLE in Rochester, JULIA BROWNLEY in SoCal and SUMMER LEE in Pittsburgh. CANDIDATE QUALITY — If Democrats somehow hold on to the House, Republicans nominating fringe candidates in moderate districts could be a big reason why. Ally Mutnick reports from Grand Rapids, Mich. , that candidates like JOHN GIBBS threaten the GOP's chances thanks to a history of extreme online posts or conspiracy theories. On the flip side, if those candidates do win, they could "have their views among those that shape a future Republican House majority." Both parties think Democrat HILLARY SCHOLTEN is running ahead of Gibbs. BATTLE FOR THE STATES ABOUT LAST NIGHT — Georgia Gov. BRIAN KEMP and STACEY ABRAMS faced off in their final debate Sunday, trading arguments on criminal justice and voting rights. In one notable moment, Kemp backtracked from his previous statement that he wouldn't support additional abortion restrictions: On Sunday, he declined to say whether he'd sign more bills into law on the issue. Takeaways from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution EMPIRE STATE OF MIND — Democrats have grown so concerned about New York's gubernatorial race that the Democratic Governors Association took steps to create a new super PAC to back Gov. KATHY HOCHUL on TV, NYT's Luis Ferré-Sadurní reports . The party called in big guns like Obama and BILL CLINTON for support. Republicans smell blood: Florida Gov. RON DeSANTIS visited to stump for Rep. LEE ZELDIN. "Abortion access could hinge on state election results," AP "Democrats worry the GOP could win traditionally liberal Miami-Dade," WaPo HOT POLLS — Florida: In a key swing House district, Republican ANNA PAULINA LUNA is narrowly ahead of ERIC LYNN, 45.9% to 45.3%, per St. Pete Polls . — Michigan: Cygnal's latest tracking poll finds Democratic Gov. GRETCHEN WHITMER leading TUDOR DIXON, 51% to 44%. Dems lead for secretary of state and AG, too. — Texas: Republican Gov. GREG ABBOTT is beating BETO O'ROURKE, 50% to 44%, per the University of Texas at Tyler . Republicans are also ahead for lieutenant governor and AG.

Mag, Ben Jacobs goes long on House Minority Leader KEVIN McCARTHY's single-minded quest to become speaker, which entails making and keeping as many friends as possible in all corners of his conference. Though McCarthy downplays abortion and a showdown over the debt limit, "he's perfectly willing to play hardball" at other pain points if Republicans reclaim the majority. Within the House GOP, the inveterate schmoozer's laissez-faire approach could sit well with both the fringe far right and freshmen from Biden districts.

FIRST IN PLAYBOOK — Outgoing Republican Arkansas Gov. ASA HUTCHINSON is working to increase his national profile as he eyes a potential 2024 presidential run, Daniel Lippman reports. The early-state visits: After visiting Iowa twice in September, Hutchinson heads back in a couple weeks, and is scheduled to speak to the Westside Conservative Club in Des Moines on Nov. 16. He also plans stops in New Hampshire and South Carolina over the next few months, according to a person close to him. The national conversation: Hutchinson held an "ideas summit" earlier this month in Bentonville, Ark., that featured former Secretary of State CONDOLEEZZA RICE, former Education Secretary BETSY DeVOS, Hutchinson's likely gubernatorial successor SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS, Arizona Gov. DOUG DUCEY and STEVE CASE, among others. On Tuesday, he's the lead guest on a panel at the Wilson Center in downtown Washington, and on Nov. 30, he will speak at the Reagan Foundation's "A Time for Choosing" series in Simi Valley, Calif. Hutchinson, 71, leaves office in January and is scoping out whether there's a lane for an old-school, traditional, policy-driven conservative in a party that has veered toward right-wing populism and culture-war politics in recent years. — Plenty of GOP senators are hitting the campaign trail for other Republicans in what looks like an early 2024 expedition (particularly if Trump doesn't run), Burgess Everett reports this morning . Sens. TOM COTTON (Ark.), TED CRUZ (Texas), JONI ERNST (Iowa), LINDSEY GRAHAM (S.C.), RICK SCOTT (Fla.) and TIM SCOTT (S.C.) are hitting the road. And "there's a sense among Republicans that some senators may run even if Trump does." Cruz says his especially aggressive schedule made him miss his daughter's birthday, because the stakes are so high.

Sponsored by Amazon   | | | JAN. 6 AND ITS AFTERMATH EAST OF EASTMAN — The House Jan. 6 committee has downloaded eight of JOHN EASTMAN's emails that he'd asked them to refrain from reading while he filed an appeal, Kyle Cheney reports . A court filing from Eastman on Sunday, in which he asked a court to tell the committee to trash or return the emails, revealed that news. "But such an order by a court against Congress would be an extraordinary step by one coequal branch against another, and would be virtually impossible to enforce." This collection of emails includes the now-famous one in which, according to the judge, there's evidence that "Trump signed legal documents attesting to voter fraud data that he knew was erroneous." JUDICIARY SQUARE SCOTUS WATCH — Though the Supreme Court has gotten more diverse, the lawyers who argue cases before it remain disproportionately white and male, WaPo's Theo Meyer and Tobi Raji report . Since 2017, of the lawyers whose demographics the Post could ascertain, 81% were white and 62% were white men. Hispanic and Black attorneys made up 3.6% and 2.3%, respectively. Just one-fifth were women. The analysis "spotlights how people of color are often excluded from the rooms in which decisions that affect them are made." POLICY CORNER THE LOOMING DEM BATTLE — Commerce Secretary GINA RAIMONDO is seen as a top candidate for Treasury secretary if and when JANET YELLEN leaves the administration. But progressives are already mobilizing to oppose that prospect, Ben White and Gavin Bade report this morning . Sen. ELIZABETH WARREN (D-Mass.) and her allies have held Raimondo's feet to the fire, and they predict that big labor unions would oppose her for Treasury. They worry she's close to Wall Street. Yellen says she's staying, but she "has been sidelined on a number of key policy issues by the White House, and a potential shift in power on Capitol Hill could lead to nasty fights over the federal debt limit and other issues, giving her reason to want to exit."

Twitter Blue will rise to $19.99 a month, which verified users will have 90 days to pay or lose the blue checkmark. Critics blasted the plan as prone to foment more disinformation on the platform: If, say, local elections offices lose their verification, competing claims about election results could spread, as one example.
