The word is that Trump’s announcement is on, but, of course, it’s not truly on until the announcement is over. Everything prior to that is negotiable. From Marc Caputo:

An announcement in the immediate aftermath of the midterm disappointment is a very bad idea, and it’s an even worse idea if the Georgia runoff is going to determine Senate control.

I posted something from Dave Wasserman earlier suggesting Laxalt is going to lose, but I was talking to someone who’s following it closely and buys this math (although, personally, I’m done with Republican optimism for a while):

Anyway, for his own purposes, Trump should put off his announcement, take stock, and find a way to try to be genuinely helpful if the Georgia runoff is going to be the difference-maker.
