\nThe Cherokee Nation on Monday responded to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) releasing her Native American DNA test by saying she was making a “mockery out of DNA tests” and “dishonoring legitimate tribal governments.”<\/p>\n
\nNBC News thinks they do, and is concerned that they may not be able to “fix it in time” for the 2018 election. NBC News frets that “party operatives and tied-in organizations in [Texas] and across the country are seeing signs – surprising to some – that many Hispanics may sit out the midterms.” This “lack of enthusiasm among Latinos has party leaders concerned that a key part of the coalition needed to take back the House and Senate may stay home.”<\/p>\n
\nIn the Nevada Senate race, incumbent Republican Dean Heller appears to be consolidating his lead against Democratic congresswoman Jacky Rosen. In a poll of the race from Emerson late last week, Heller led Rosen 48 to 41 percent.<\/p>\n
