Plus, the long-term consequences of Biden's choice this year
Another important day for Biden. Democrats in the House and Senate held separate meetings to discuss Joe Biden. It was an important moment, since there are jitters in the party about Biden's ability to compete in November. From CNN's report on the House meeting: But instead of a united front, Democrats emerged from the meeting without consensus or a clear path forward. While Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn, a staunch Biden ally, called the meeting "very positive," another Democratic member in the meeting told CNN that there was a sense of "sadness" in the room from "talking about someone you love who is in obvious decline." Biden's next major text comes Thursday when he conducts a press conference on the sidelines of a NATO meeting being held in Washington. Read more. Biden's choice could affect Senate, Supreme Court for years. CNN's Ronald Brownstein writes that a Biden drag could be meaningful in many Senate races: This year, Democrats are defending an unusually large concentration of Senate seats in states that now appear at risk for them in the presidential contest. If Democrats lose a substantial number of those seats this year, it could be very difficult for them to recapture a Senate majority before these same seats come up again in 2030. The reason is that very few of the other Senate seats Republicans now hold are in states where Democrats have a realistic chance of winning, absent a dramatic change in their political balance. He adds: The prospect that Biden's eroding position could produce a lasting Senate deficit — which, in turn, could allow Republicans to further reshape the federal judiciary, including the Supreme Court — hasn't produced panic among Democrats yet because of the public and private polls consistently showing their Senate candidates running well ahead of the president.

: Republicans' Trump-centered platform, annotated |
I spent the day going line-by-line through the platform Republicans will approve at their convention next week in Milwaukee. With help from Curt Merrill on our visuals team, I put notes in the spots that stood out to me. While most news reports on the platform have focused on how it has de-emphasized abortion policy, I was struck by how it is so wholly focused on Donald Trump, making him out to be a sort of superhero and wholeheartedly embracing isolationism and America First nationalism. Take a look here. |
