As expected, showed up at the rally to endorse the Republican candidate. Trump said he'll set up a commission to investigate the JFK and RFK assassinations.

(Spoiler ... We did that in the 1960s.)

RFK Jr. will campaign for Trump in the weeks ahead, which reinforces my speculation earlier that Trump hopes RFK takes the spotlight off Vance.

(No, Walz won't debate RFK instead of Vance, don't get your hopes up, .)

Rumor has it that will drop out today and announce he's endorsing . He could appear at a Trump rally scheduled this afternoon in .

Personal speculation ... Trump may view this as a surrogate test drive. Vance has flopped miserably. He can't easily remove Vance as the VP nominee, but he can certainly pay for RFK Jr. to fly around the country holding rallies, thinking RFK is much more charismatic than Vance.

From : to release economic plan today.

Comment ... It talks a lot about tax cuts for the poor and middle class. No mention in the article about how to pay for it. As a one-time municipal budget guy, this always gnaws at me -- both parties cut taxes for their constituencies, but no one wants to pay for it.

The federal government is the only level that can run a debt. We by law had to balance our budgets, which meant tough choices.
