Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they welcome tightening polls in the Virginia governor’s race, cringe at Christiane Amanpour’s disturbing comments about Israeli hostages, and preview what could be an ugly U.S. Senate primary among Democrats in Maine.
First, they break down new polling showing Republican Winsome Earle-Sears cutting Democrat Abigail Spanberger’s lead to less than three points. The momentum shift comes after revelations that Democratic attorney general nominee Jay Jones sent violent text messages about murdering political opponents and wishing harm on their children. The same poll shows GOP Attorney General Jason Miyares up nearly six points over Jones. Jim unloads on Jones for acting like a "psychopath" toward the opposing party, but he's not sure it will be enough to push Republicans to victory.
Next, they wince as CNN's Christiane Amanpour suggests Israeli hostages were treated better than people in Gaza during the recent war. She later issued an on-camera apology, but Jim is disgusted that Amanpour could not hide her disdain for Israel for even one day.
Finally, they turn to Maine, where Gov. Janet Mills is entering the U.S. Senate race to challenge Republican Sen. Susan Collins. Mills is leaning heavily on her brief defiance of President Trump over gender policies. Meanwhile, a big primary fight among Democrats could be coming. The 77-year-old Mills faces veteran Graham Platner, who is enthusiastically endorsed by Bernie Sanders.
