They largely dismiss Mary Peltola’s Alaska ballot-recruitment story as a scandal unlikely to move ordinary voters, while treating South Carolina as a real—but increasingly expensive—blue-wave longshot. Pratik introduces a speculative strategy of buying ultra-cheap 2028 presidential candidates who could spike during the post-midterm hype cycle, including John Kennedy and potentially Abdul El-Sayed. The mailbag focuses on split-ticket voting in Texas, Georgia and the Midwest, with Alex and Pratik warning that enthusiasm for a Democratic landslide may now be creating value on select Republicans. Abroad, Pratik also identifies Marine Le Pen as increasingly underpriced amid France’s political and fiscal unrest."}
