New: Jim Jordan is not a member of House leadership, but he’s sure been acting like it In the weeks leading up to Tuesday he’s visited dozens of districts including a 19 day-straight stint to Election Day. Sometimes that’s bc Rs call him, other times he reaches out to ask if they need a hand And in between campaign stops, Jordan says he’s calling/texting Rs to check in on how their individual races are going “Sometimes they’re fundraisers, sometimes they’re rallies, sometimes they're both,” he told me in an interview. "We're doing everything we can just to help our team win.” It’s a far cry from the HFC bombthrower he once was. One House Republican told me of the way he is now, “Jim doesn't care if you're moderate or even if you have to lean left to keep your seat, you have to represent your people.” It’s spurred questions about what he wants out of it — like a possible leadership role people say he’s working toward. But Jordan told me: “I’m focused on…Tuesday.” Inside his midterm sprint for @FoxNews: foxnews.com/politics/inside-…

This is much more pointed than the statement Schumer put out earlier. “This is a despicable betrayal from Rep. Stevens.”

Schumer out with statement of “unwavering support” for El-Sayed following Stevens’ turn. No mention of the congresswoman, but a big push back on “racist, Islamophobic and over-the-top false attacks” in El-Sayed from the GOP.

What I wonder is A) will the average Michigan voter care what Stevens thinks, B) what’s she got to gain politically from this by turning her back on the Dem nominee?

NEW: Rep. Tim Burchett has plans to run for Senate. He’s vying for the appointment to Sen. Marsha Blackburn’s seat if she’s elected Tennessee governor. If he doesn’t get it, he told me he’ll start campaigning. More in Punchbowl News AM: punchbowl.news/article/campa…

Trump has had to make two trip to SC, once to beat Norman just before the run-off, and again last week as the race against Andrews becomes closer than Republicans would look. w/@liz_elkind

Dems are making a last-minute play in Mississippi, sending money and big names to boost Scott Colom against Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith. The GOP is scoffing at the effort, but sending money and reinforcements, too. "It could be enough," Colom told me. foxnews.com/politics/schumer…

As Thune traveled to Iowa on the campaign trail's final sprint, with the outlook dimming for Senate Republicans, I asked if he would have done anything differently these last two years. "Not really," Thune said. "Not stuff that we can control." cbsnews.com/news/john-thune-…

NEW: A group called American Forge Coalition has popped up in voters’ mailboxes in recent weeks — almost exclusively targeting vulnerable House Republicans & GOP candidates It’s accusing them of being lenient on abortion & the border. Some Rs accuse it of outright lying. But no one knows who’s behind it (1/3) foxnews.com/politics/dark-mo…
