Chuck Todd used the wrong track number to shade Pennsylvania Democratic Senate Candidate John Fetterman by comparing him to the opposing insurrectionist.
Chuck Todd, this false equivalence is journalistic malpractice

Chuck Todd should be ashamed of this one for so many reasons. He is trying to explain why when people believe the country is on the wrong track that the incumbent party usually takes a shellacking. But he made a statement that defies democracy.
"Where are we right now with the new NBC News poll?" Chuck Todd asked. "The wrong track is sitting at 75%. This is obviously in shellacking territory. But when you have 75% wrong track, that's how you end up with nominees that people in Washington don't want. OK? John Fetterman and Kathy Barnette are what you get when you get 75% wrong track this year."
Really Chuck. Did you really compare insurrectionist Kathy Barnette with John Fetterman? But the following is worse.
“55% wrong track,” Todd continues. “You might get Conor Lamb and David McCormick for instance. That's what 75% wrong track means and by the way, could see an incumbent lose tonight in a primary. These are terrible numbers for incumbents whether in a primary or a general.”
Chuck Todd forgot that it is not about what a failed group of Washington politicians want. It is about who the voters want.
