The latest developments: Kemp (who also happens to be secretary of state) on Sunday announced a surprise investigation into the Georgia Democratic party for an alleged hack into the state's voter registration system. Now, Kemp is coming under scrutiny. Abrams called the investigation a "witch hunt." Meanwhile, the race itself could be Georgia's first to cross the $100 million threshold.  This headline from the AJC's Bill Torpy is my favorite thing: "If you get the vapors, GA governor's race isn't for you." THE LONE STAR ⭐️SENATE RACE Closing arguments around freedom, security and jobs are gripping the Texas Senate race between Democrat Beto O'Rourke and Republican Sen. Ted Cruz. And some context: California could provide a key blueprint to where and how Trump motivates voters. Politico asks: "Did Beto Blow it?" Of course, it's not over yet... MEANWHILE IN FLORIDA 🐊 President Trump says people who vote for Democrat Andrew Gillum over Republican Ron DeSantis will "destroy the state that I love." Voters are turning out in droves: People have been standing in lines for hours in North Miami, and there aren't enough ballots for everyone, according to the Miami Herald.  MONDAY TRAVEL SKED 📍President Donald Trump heads to Cleveland, Ohio; Fort Wayne, Indiana; and Cape Girardeau, Missouri 📍Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Lee Greenwood will rally with Trump in Missouri tonight 📍Vice President Mike Pence rallies in South Dakota and Montana 📍Sens. Lindsey Graham and Cory Gardner join Pence in South Dakota 📍Eric Holder is in Cleveland, Ohio today 📍And Joe Manchin is riding his motorcycle through West Virginia  🏍 THE FINAL COUNTDOWN We'd love to share our other newsletters with you. Follow this link for daily coverage of the world's top stories, savvy market insights, an insider's look into the media, and more. Send your tips and thoughts via email to Chris Cillizza and Lauren Dezenski. Follow Chris and Lauren on Twitter.
