Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
There are some asking the question, what blue wave? Will it be a red tide? It’s not quite that easy, either way. For example in Florida – the #3 manufactured housing state in the nation in recent years – self-professed Democratic Socialist Andrew Gillum – who is getting support from Bernie Sanders, the Obamas and the Clintons – is slightly ahead of the surging Ron DeSantis, who is backed by POTUS Trump.
In the state of Texas, Democrat Beto O’Rourke has just raised a record amount of money in his serious challenge to incumbent U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (GOP-R). In fact, the ratio of money raised in the last FEC filing was almost $3 for O’Rourke to $1 for Cruz.
While the polling in the contest at one point favored the Democrat, Cruz is beginning to pull away and create some daylight in his lead over O’Rourke.
But it isn’t over in this or any other race ‘until the fat lady sings.’ For those of you who didn’t know, my hubby says that is a term from opera, where the ‘fat lady’ singing would often end the performance.

The Kanye Effect?
The economy is a huge issue for millions, and of course President Trump is trying to “nationalize” many races by making it a referendum about his economic, job growth and foreign policy agenda. A snapshot of the HUGE money being placed by billionaires and others into the race for Democrats, the growing role of the Obamas and the Clintons in the race are part of our featured report, linked below.
