| 0:04.3 | Good Tuesday morning. I'm Anna Palmer and welcome to your Politico Playbook audio briefing. |
| 0:08.7 | And I'm Jake Sherman. Playbook sneak peek this morning. Doug Jones has his first statewide TV spot, |
| 0:13.9 | a 30 second straight to camera ad about racial justice. Jones' most recent polling has them in a tight |
