Comment on Obama to Myanmar: Free Suu Kyi

A new Spotlight PA/MassINC poll in Pennsylvania finds Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump among likely voters in a multi-candidate race, 50% to 46%.

Kamala Harris on Friday night told rallygoers in Wisconsin not to pay too much attention to the polls, The Hill reports. Said Harris: “46 days until the election. And, what we know, this is going to be a tight race until the very end. So, let’s not pay too much attention to the polls because let’s be clear, we are the underdog in this race and we have some hard work ahead of us.”

Kamala Harris‘ campaign is highlighting the preventable deaths of two women who would be alive if not for Georgia’s abortion ban. This week reporting from ProPublica proved out the warning that abortion bans could be deadly, by bringing forward the names and faces of two Georgia women, Amber Thurman and Candi Miller, who died in 2022 but would be alive today if not for the state’s ban.

This February, President Joe Biden was eating an ice cream cone with Late Night host Seth Meyers in Manhattan when a reporter asked about the chances of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. “Well,” Biden replied, prompting breaking news posts, “I hope, by the end of the weekend.” The president then assured the public: “We’re close.” Nearly seven months later, no ceasefire is in sight.

In the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden was buoyed by victories in the “blue wall” states of the Upper Midwest, and a few narrow wins in the South and Southwest. But it was easy to forget that he also picked up another electoral vote in a state where Democrats had been shut out since 2008—Nebraska, a reliably red state that has apportioned its electors by congressional district since 1992.
