No DIRECT, resolution-adjacent catalysts appeared; the items are process/context (e.g., Tennessee’s map change, Alabama’s contingency plan for primaries/redistricting, generic-ballot trackers) and do not constitute national-level polling shifts, party-wide shocks, or court rulings large enough to directly reprice “D Senate, D House.” With zero verified directional signals during a 10pp, multi-day slide, this is a divergence/starved-news move, not a structural update; 10pp requires more than scattered state-level map/process stories. The drop was therefore not news-justified and should mean-revert upward.
