Welcome to the online version of “From the Politics Desk,” an evening newsletter that brings you the latest reporting and analysis from the NBC News Politics team on the campaign trail, White House, and Capitol Hill.
In today’s edition, national political reporters Bridget Bowman and Ben Kamisar provide insights into the key House primaries to watch on Tuesday. Senior politics editor Mark Murray dives into Joe Biden’s poll numbers post-State of the Union address.
The House primaries taking place in California, Illinois, and Ohio hold significant implications for House control and the future of both political parties, where Republicans are barely maintaining their majority.
Trump’s endorsement plays a crucial role in Ohio’s Senate race and two notable House contests. Rep. Mike Bost in Illinois’ 12th District and the Republican primary in Ohio’s 9th District are at the forefront of attention.
Democrats are on defense as primaries set up general election matchups in battleground districts. And Republicans seek to strengthen their narrow majority as they head toward the November election.
The analysis of Biden’s post-State of the Union polling reveals little change in his numbers, indicating a tight race against Trump in battleground states. Despite major events and achievements, public opinion on Biden and Trump remains relatively unchanged.
