AI:Democratic candidate Cait Conley is out in the open, engaging in the standard playbook of political character assassination against New York’s 17th District Representative Mike Lawler.

At least nine Biden administration alumni running for Congress or governor this year are keeping President Biden at arm's length in the run-up to the November elections. Why it matters: Biden's brand is still a liability, even as Democrats salivate at the prospect of major gains against Republicans in the November elections. - That's why many non-incumbent Democrats aren't mentioning the ex-president in their campaigns' promotional materials. - It's a stark reversal from the 2018 midterms, when Democratic contenders across the country rushed to align themselves with former President Obama, who had left office the previous year. - The distancing from Biden, a historically unpopular president , could signal a vulnerability for some…
