Look Who Makes Up Dire GOP Predictions at the Cook Report

October 29, 2026 M Dowling

As usual, the media has picked sides in the election. The much-quoted Cook Report, which is mostly wrong, predicts 15 seats will move to Democrats. Sometimes they say 18, and they predict Republican Senate losses. Speaker Johnson says the polls are wrong.

Greg Kelly took it on last night, responding to the WaPo article that glorified the Cook Report, calling it nonpartisan. The Cook Report isn’t what it used to be.

MSNow and CNN have been thrilled at the thought of Democrats taking the House and the Senate. Democrats have one plan should they win, and they are very enthusiastic about it: investigate everyone who opposes them.

Kelly looked at who is in charge of the Cook Report. The first person in the X post is Erin Covey, who worked at NPR Morning and Weekend Edition. The Blonde is Carrie Dann, who worked at the NBC News Political Unit. The short-haired gal is Amy Walter, who worked at PBS NewsHour and the University of Chicago Institute of Politics. The chubby lady is Jessica Taylor, who worked at National Public Radio, NBC News Political Unit, and Politico. I know the readers understand that these are all left, left, left of left women who call themselves liberals. The ladies are the mainstream, maladroit Left.

The Cook Report is also always wrong.

They predicted a Hillary Clinton win. Walter said Hillary would win “well over the 270” electoral votes. In 2020, she also said that Montana, Ohio, and Iowa were “softening” in what should be “safe, red states.” Trump won all three. During the primary, Walter said only Nikki Haley could win.

Sound familiar? Is this a repeat of their previous reports? Maybe. Chin up! We got this more than you think.

I started taking Cook Report seriously this year, until I realized who was behind it. Don’t trust the polls. Go out and vote! Yes, there are things we don’t like, but the alternative is socialism and communism.
