From #WaPo: #RFKJr pulls far more voters from #Trump than #Harris.
"A new Marquette University Law School poll released Wednesday is Harris’s best high-quality poll yet. It shows her leading by six points (53 percent to 47 percent) among likely voters in a head-to-head matchup ..."
"The initial elevation of Kennedy’s campaign on the right ... is now looking even more like a real potential blunder."
#Trump says he's going to hold a press conference this afternoon a Mar-A-Lago, because #Harris hasn't held a press conference recently.
Someone is truly desperate for TV time and attention.
If it really happens, he's only going to run his mouth with the same nonsense that already has him in hot water. The only question is if he finally lets slip the n-word.
Although I hate how it was done, I have to acknowledge that the "wealthy elite" were right. It was a rotten way to force the issue, but in the end it was the right call.
Who knows where we'd be now, if #Biden had insisted he was the legitimate candidate (which he was).
This #WaPo article is a behind-the-scenes look at those days from Nancy Pelosi's perspective. (2/2)
Upon further review ...
A few weeks back, I was one of the most vocal critics here of the push by the "wealthy elite" Democrats to depose #Biden, who already had been chose as the party's presidential candidate. In particular, I hated their pulling campaign funds to force the issue.
A month later, we have the dynamic #Harris2024 #Walz ticket, which has re-energized the party and the nation. #Trump is free-falling in the polls. (1/2)

Here's the video of today's Philadelphia rally. Go to the 29;30 mark if the link doesn't take you there.

Just so those of you who support #Harris2024 are aware it's coming ...
Some media are dredging up an old Tim #Walz drunk driving arrest from 1995. His arrest photo is already making the rounds in social media.
You know #Trump and #MAGA are preparing to run ads with that photo. Presumably #Harris already has a plan for responding to it.
Walz has said that, since then, he's never had an alcoholic drink.
FYI for y'all, since you know it's coming.
According to court records, Frank Lucio Carillo made several threats against Harris, President Joe Biden, #FBI Director Christopher Wray, several #Arizona officials, and others on the right-wing social media platform Gettr.
In response to a subpoena, the FBI found 4,359 posts from Carillo “targeting various public officials,” including Harris.

Today's "This Modern World" by Tom Tomorrow on #DailyKos at https://www.dailykos.com/blogs/Tom%20Tomorrow/.
Following up on his earliest tweet, Mark Kelly just posted this:
"Whether it was from my time in the Navy and at NASA, serving in the United States Senate, or visiting our troops overseas: I've learned that when your country asks you to serve, you always answer the call."
Strictly my speculation ... Mark Kelly just posted this on Zombie Twitter:
"My background is a bit different than most politicians. I spent my life serving in the Navy and at #NASA, where the mission always comes first. Now, my mission is serving Arizonans."
That last sentence has me wondering if he's out of the #Harris VP sweepstakes.
As recently as June 24, #Biden campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon said she thought #Florida wasn't a battleground state. Dillon is now the #Harris campaign chair.
Florida has a reproductive rights initiative on the November ballot, which should juice the state turnout. But if the campaign chair think it's not worth it, then the opportunity is lost.
So far #Harris hasn't announced any Florida rallies in upcoming days, only in "battleground" states.(2/2)

#Trump says there's a candidate debate September 4 on #FoxNews. #Harris says she never agreed to it, expects him to hold to his commitment to the September 10 #ABCNews debate.
I think she should counter with an offer to debate on #MSNBC with Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid the moderators. 🤣

#Harris campaign has added 14,500 new volunteers in #Florida, the most of any state.
If there's a surprise in November, I think it will be Florida. We have a reproductive choice initiative on the ballot, which will drive pro-choice turnout. #Kamala should help with black turnout, women in particular. If she takes Florida, it's game over in the electoral college.

From #CNN: #Kamala #Harris campaign raised $310 million in July.
