When midterms results come in tomorrow night, Jen Psaki will be breaking them down on MSNBC, a part of her budding new TV career. Charlotte Klein [caught up]( with Psaki about shifting from the White House to 30 Rock—and how she doesn’t plan to return to government service. “I am not looking back,” Psaki says. Meanwhile, Caleb Ecarma [writes]( how Elon Musk gutting Twitter’s workforce and blowing up the blue-check verification system is “brewing up a perfect storm for the midterms.” (Kelly Rissman [has more]( on the new Twitter Blue rollout.) And even though the 2022 midterms aren’t over, the 2024 chatter is ramping up, with expectations that Trump will announce another presidential run on Nov. 14, the day he’s supposed to turn over documents to the January 6 committee, Rissman [writes](.
