Politico's Hot Take on Vance's Kamala Comment Gets Nuked by Community Notes
This headline also implicitly seems to acknowledge being tethered to Biden is bad. Good job there, guys. You got one thing right.
She will continue to blame others for the breach of the Capitol on that day—but will she ever answer for her own failures?
Megyn Kelly Delivers the Perfect Response to Harris Needing to Do Joint Interview With Walz
Everything is about the "feels"; nothing is about the substance.
WHAT'S ON TAP?
Today on Capitol Hill...
As the critters start gearing up to get back to work in D.C., there's some talk of including the SAVE Act (prohibiting non-citizens from voting) in the continuing resolution that will be needed to fund the government past September 30. While the Republican House passed the measure in July (with only five Democrats supporting it), the Democrat-led Senate is likely to oppose it.
White House What's Up
Zzzzzzzzzz. President Joe Biden continues his beach vacay.
The Homestretch
Vice President Kamala Harris and running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz are heading out on a two-day campaign bus tour through Georgia.
It appears as though the terms are set for the September 10 debate between Harris and former President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Trump's running mate, Sen. JD Vance (OH), will be appearing in Erie, Pennsylvania, and DePere, Wisconsin, for campaign events.
Full Court Press...
Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a retooled indictment against Trump in the D.C. case regarding the 2020 election. Trump has shared his thoughts on that.
MORNING MUSING
As I put these together each weekday morning, I make frequent use of Google to hunt down where this campaign is or what's going on in the world of politics. Inescapable is the fact that headline after headline that the algorithm spits out is positive regarding Kamala Harris and negative regarding Donald Trump. We're just a little over two months out, and those who can't abide the notion of a second Trump term are going to be throwing everything and the kitchen sink out as roadblocks. Don't let it discourage you. Keep fighting the good fight.
LIGHTER FARE
It's the patience and deliberation that makes this a 10/10.
