The five states Trump won by double digits -- Indiana, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota and West Virginia -- should be prime pickup opportunities for Republicans. But the GOP has struggled to recruit in some of these states, leaving Democrats feeling better about their prospects of retaining these seats. That is particularly true in Montana, where Jon Tester is seeking a third term, and North Dakota, where Heidi Heitkamp is running for a second term. 特にモンタナとノースダコタで共和党が強力な候補を立てられていない事が 民主党の中間選挙におけるこれらの議席保持への見通しを明るくしているとしてるね

The state's Supreme Court just ordered lawmakers to redraw Pennsylvania's congressional district lines by mid-February, which could completely change the state's political landscape before the 2018 midterm elections. ペンシルバニア州の最高裁は2月中旬までに州の区割りの描画のやり直しを命じたが、この事は中間選挙の同州での情勢を一変させる可能性がある
Former Miss America and Alabama beauty queen Mallory Hagan is considering running for Congress as a Democrat in the eastern part of the state.
Hagan, who was crowned Miss America in 2013, Miss New York in 2012 and competed in Alabama pageants, created a Twitter page proclaiming she is "exploring" running for Alabama U.S. House District 3, which is currently occupied by Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Saks and covers eastern Alabama.

A new poll puts State Sen. Daniel Biss trailing billionaire philanthropist/entrepreneur J.B. Pritzker ? with just six weeks until the March primary.
The We Ask America poll of 811 likely voters was taken Jan. 29-30 and shows Pritzker ahead at 29.79 percent, followed by Biss at 17.43 percent. Businessman Chris Kennedy was in third with 11.50 percent. And it shows that 37.95 percent of those polled are still undecided. The rest: Tio Hardiman, 1.73 percent; Bob Daiber, 0.87 percent; and Robert Marshall, 0.74 percent.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has asked the governor of Mississippi to consider appointing himself to the Senate if ailing Republican Sen. Thad Cochran resigns from office, according to two people familiar with the conversations.
His top aide said Thursday that no imminent plans have been made to announce his retirement. But Senate leaders and White House aides have been preparing for the possibility that he will step down in the coming months.
Allies of Wicker have grown increasingly confident in recent weeks that McDaniel will not challenge him. While they caution that nothing is 100 percent until the March 1 filing deadline, they believe he has increasingly turned his eye toward Cochran’s seat.
Two major Republican donors, the hedge fund investor Robert Mercer and the Illinois businessman Richard Uihlein, have given more than $1 million to an independent super PAC, Remember Mississippi, which has been set up to support a prospective McDaniel campaign this year.
In March alone, Pence plans to be in the Detroit area for the NRCC; Kentucky for Rep.

Mark Walker, Omaha for Rep. Donald Bacon, Nevada for Sen. Dean Heller, and Indiana for the NRSC.

And the memo offered little new evidence to undercut Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s inquiry into Russia’s disruption campaign, despite Trump’s reported interest in the document as grounds to provoke further public uncertainty about the impartiality of the investigation.
ミュラーの立場を弱めるような新しい証拠は、今回のメモでは殆ど出てこなかった と
Some Republicans and FBI allies bolstered the Democrats' critique.
"This is it?" former FBI director James Comey asked after the memo emerged.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who has joined fellow Republicans in calling for a second special counsel at DOJ to investigate internal misconduct in probes of the Trump and Hillary Clinton campaigns, also said plainly Friday that "nothing in the memo released today undercuts Mr. Mueller’s investigation."
共和党の側の一部も今回のメモ開示には懐疑的な見方
リンジー・グラム連邦上院議員は、今回のメモがミューラー氏の捜査の正当性を覆すものではないと語った
Whether the memo moves public opinion on the DOJ investigation remains to be seen. A Quinnipiac University poll conducted last month found that 55 percent of independent voters view the probe of potential collusion between Russia and Trump's campaign as legitimate, versus 41 percent deeming it a "witch hunt."
