This month’s note is a little shorter than usual, and focuses on . . .

-       who is going to win the competitive Senate races, and who is actually going to run the Senate in 2025/26
-       the presidential race (it’s going to be close)
-       what is going on with the survey work, and why Mr. Trump is having trouble
-       transition challenges
-       Google’s probably just kidding about their net zero pledges
-       conventions are lousy television
-       elections as lagging indicators
