Quite the statement from the Oz campaign to @NBCNews in response to rival Fetterman's return to the campaign trail. Campaign manager Casey Contres tells me Fetterman is a "spoiled man-child" and calls him out for "hiding in his basement scrolling social media for months"
NEWS: #PASEN candidate @FettermanLt will hold a rally in Erie, PA on August 12.
It's his first rally since suffering a stroke just before the primary.

WATCH: “Nobody expected” Kansas' vote to protect abortion access, @DashaBurns reports. “At best” advocates expected a narrow victory.
“Nobody expected this level of turnout. … We got a resounding answer to whether or not this was going to be a galvanizing issue for November.”

What really stands out about Kansas last night is the turnout, which got close to presidential level.

53% turnout in Johnson County, Kansas…about 47% statewide so far according to preliminary results.
This kind of showing is virtually unheard of in a midterms primary. And sends a big message ahead of November:
*The abortion rights issue will drive voters to the polls.*

Kansans have struck down a proposed amendment that would have stripped abortion rights from the state constitution according to @NBCNews

Kansas Secretary of State on turnout, speaking anecdotally:
"It could be almost 50%. And at that point, you're looking at general election numbers...it's looking a lot like the 2008 turnout for the Obama Presidential race. So it's incredibly high turnout."
THIS. IS. BIG.

Secretary of State Scott Schwab says that, based on anecdotal evidence, turnout today may match the turnout in the 2008 presidential general election contest.
That would be around 50% turnout, way above the 36% turnout his office predicted earlier this week. #ksleg

As UMKC's @DebraLeiter told me about Amendment 2 in Kansas, "this is the first real test of voters in a post-Roe world."

Yesterday, Kansans received this misleading text message claiming a YES vote on the "Value Them Both" amendment would "give women a choice." In fact, voting YES is voting in favor of stripping abortion rights from the state constitution. More on this on @MSNBC @NBCNews pic.twitter.com/tkRNTEMwFB

Two of the youngest and bravest survivors of the Highland Park shooting. 9yo Lily and her sister, 11yo Sydney. They wanted to share their experience to show other kids it's okay to talk about your feelings, and it's okay to be scared.
Sometimes kids have the wisdom we all need.

The car the alleged gunman took from his mother’s home after fleeing the scene was towed to the Highland Park PD. Officials say the community’s help sending videos, photos and providing a wealth of information helped lead to his apprehension.
Got the call last night and on a plane to Chicago this morning.
Hearing the fireworks as I fell asleep knowing what I was about to cover gave me chills...the people of Highland Park will never be able to hear those sounds again without reliving the horror.
