Which way does this cut? a) Did Trump fulfill their request? Doesn’t look like it. b) Doesn’t this undermine idea that there was some pre-existing conspiracy between Trump & Oath Keepers? If there were, they would have worked this out, no? https://t.co/ia50PQemHW

Isn’t it also possible that Roberts, as an institutionalist, would in the end join Alito’s anti-Roe majority because it’s bad for the Court to overturn such a big precedent with a mere 5 votes?

.@Politico makes it clear there was concerted effort to get Vance’s numbers up–through ads & stress on immigration–BEFORE Trump endorsed. This effort succeeded.

Arrow is in the wrong place, I think. Trump endorsed 4/15, arrow’s at 4/14. The 4/15 bump reflects Trafalgar poll which surveyed voters on 4/13 and 4/14, before endorsement, and had Vance at 23%. (There were rumors of endorsement, but it was uncertain.) https://t.co/oX9wV3nvBL https://t.co/OR0IYuAnml
