While this presser was happening, I was interviewing @VanHollenForMD at a @Groundwork event in DC. He told me he’s “in the process right now of calling my colleagues” about who should lead them going forward– reiterating that he’s “actively listening.”
“Let's face it, there was also a clearly an anti-Washington establishment tone to this to this election,” he said, “…So I'm actively calling my colleagues because at the end of the day, this is a vote in the Democratic caucus, and so let's just keep in touch.”
Yet even as he’s working the phone – which sounds a lot like whipping votes – he said he’s not yet connected with Senator Schumer. “We actually have continued to play phone tag,” Van Hollen said.
Sounded to me a lot like another way to say he’s whipping votes 👀
.@ChrisVanHollen tells @alivitali that the election had an "anti-Washington establishment tone" and he's in the "process right now of calling my colleagues" re: who will be the next Majority Leader.
He says he's been playing phone tag with Schumer...

One thing on tonight in Florida for people watching - it will look a bit like the opposite of a lot of states. Because Florida law - smartly - allows the counting of VBM and EV ballots before 7pm, the early results, if the race is competitive, will likely look pretty Democratic, and then likely get more Republican.
Again for of the obsessively online people, that isn't my prediction - its just how you have to think about the early returns.
It’s here, folks. Election Day! If you haven’t already, VOTE. Kicking it off with this great team for the full hour on @WayTooEarly:

THE Florida must-read and has been for years
My final thoughts about Florida, what I’m watching for on Election Day - and what races in FL might foreshadow results outside of FL…and where I’ll be for the Jags game on Thursday night.

Lucy — who regular viewers (and @MRBartlettNH) know we call Lucyfer when she’s naughty — didn’t love her devil costume. Bronzer, her work bestie, however, understood the assignment. Happy Halloween and see you next week for midterms! #waytooearly
Wow, I really hate this.

SCOOP: Democrats have insisted they have nothing to do with the other Dan Sullivan on Alaska's Senate ballot.
But aides with the Mary Peltola campaign and DSCC were part of a monthslong secret plan to recruit him to run -- as well as other candidates.

Awesome look at two races — and two different approaches — as Republicans play defense on blue-ish turf, from @mychaelschnell
NEW from PEARL RIVER, N.Y., and BENSALEM, Pa. —
Reps. Mike Lawler & Brian Fitzpatrick are the only two Republicans running for reelection in Harris-won districts this cycle.
They’re top pickup targets for Dems. But the races are close — as the Republicans run similar but distinctly different Trump-tailored strategies.
