NEW: I spent a few days in Alaska talking to dozens of voters, at grocery stores in Anchorage + at the wild state fair in Palmer. I asked everyone if they're voting in the Senate race, for who + why.
Folks did not hold back! And indies like Mary Peltola.
NEW -- That new threat Trump keeps making? About ending trade with countries that export more to the US than they import?
It would throw America into a massive recession, is all.
Unclear if Trump understands that, which is the scariest part.
“You’ve got real momentum on the Democrat side, and if we don’t watch out, you know, everybody all of a sudden now is just awakened to the fact that we may lose in the midterm,” Jim Justice (R-WVA) told me

NEW -- Trump just told reporters:
“I told Kevin, I said, ‘You might as well vote with the board because it’s just not going to matter.'"
So. Either the Fed chair collaborated with Trump about the coming rate hike
OR
Trump, a habitual liar, is lying.
