Kornacki sees tide 'working against' Democrat in Minnesota Senate race

Steve Kornacki, NBC News’s chief data analyst, stated Wednesday morning on the “Today” show that there are growing indications a tight Senate race in Minnesota could swing toward the GOP in November. Kornacki noted that there appears to be a tide within the state working against Democrats.

In Texas, two members of the Bush family have backed Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico. According to Live Mint, Barbara Bush, daughter of former President George W. Bush, donated $2,500 to the Lone Star Rising PAC, a committee supporting Talarico, according to a September 23 filing. KahawaTungu reports that Neil Bush has also expressed his support for the Democrat.

Neil Bush stated on Facebook that his decision to oppose Republican candidate Ken Paxton was motivated by concern regarding Paxton's efforts to help Donald Trump deny his 2020 election loss, as well as admiration for Talarico's character and principles. KahawaTungu notes that while Paxton defeated a primary challenge from Neil Bush’s nephew, the endorsements from the Bush family could potentially influence disaffected Republican voters in the upcoming midterm elections.
