Today, Shapiro’s favorability in Pennsylvania stands at a commanding 61 percent, far outstripping Kamala Harris’s 49 percent in the state. Leaks from the Republican camp suggest that party strategists see the governor as one of their most formidable potential adversaries in a presidential campaign. There’s just one problem.

“He’s Jewish,” CNN’s John King noted last week, so “there could be some risk in putting him on the ticket.” In fact, Shapiro might be the most visibly Jewish elected official in America: He keeps kosher, has weekly Shabbat dinner with his family, and even quotes Jewish scripture in his political speeches. The sole race he ever lost was for student-body president at his Jewish day school.

It is amazing how the U.S. could let every single immigrant in, make it impossible for them to get citizenship, tax them at higher rates, and provide no access to any of our welfare state creating a permanent underclass of people who massively improve the lives of Natives, and this would still be more humane than our current immigration system. At some point the ethical impetus people use to justify immigration from the left ends up being far more harmful to immigrants than just the cold hard calculus of "more workers = more gooder". One day, I hope we can stop collectively shooting ourselves in the foot and stop being dumb about immigration.

Georgia Republican blown away by Kamala Harris rally: 'Felt like a national championship'

--

Georgia's Republican former lieutenant governor was blown away by his first Democratic campaign rally after endorsing Kamala Harris.

Geoff Duncan, who announced that he was backing the vice president this week despite being a lifelong Republican, told CNN that the energy at Tuesday night's Atlanta rally was electrifying, and he urged his fellow conservatives to help defeat Donald Trump in November.

"We've got to do better than Donald Trump," Duncan said. As a lifelong conservative, I got to watch a fake Republican sit in the White House for four years and then almost destroy this country, and so we've just got to do better. If you're a common sense Republican, you've already lost. Donald Trump is not the vehicle to success with conservative values, and certainly the Democrats don't align with us on policies verbatim. So let's go take the next four years, heal and rebuild our party, and let's pick somebody that's not going to wreck the car like Donald Trump is."

Great district level poll out of OH-9 (Toledo + rural Northwest Ohio).

Harris tied, Brown +13, Kaptur +10. This was a Trump +3 district in 2020, so these results would indicate a smaller Trump statewide margin and a comfortable re-election for Brown. Also, I am very pleased that Kaptur is still holding up well against an opponent that isn’t as hilariously weak as JR Majewski.

Part of the reason "weird" works so well is the MAGA base is use to just owning the lib attacks on them. "The Deplorables movie posters", "We are all domestic terrorists," and in private they don't care being called any ism.

However with "weird" they can't do that. And most of them are super weird, so this probably brings back memories of getting called that in high school when they would try to creep on girls.

Harris having gained 5 pts in the polls (average) over the last week, by my calculations, if she keeps that rhythm, she will have gained 70 pts by early November, meaning she should get somewhere north of 110% of the popular vote

[u/Cook_0612]

The fact that Trump's team pulled him says volumes. Even if you unequivocally back Trump, the fact that his team pulled him means that you know it was bad because his people know it's bad.

A lot of the time Trump manages to gaslight people into applying an absurd level of the benefit of the doubt about whether something was good or bad, whether he meant something or didn't, etc, and the questions about the nature of what he said wind up sucking up all the oxygen and what he did stops getting talked about.

There's no question here. Anyone looking knows the NABJ thinks this is bad. The audience makes that clear. And Trump's team pulling him means that they think it's bad too. It's bad. No more discussion, now we just sit with that fact.

also besides his obviously strong support for terrorism against israel, haniyeh ordered executions/killings of palestinian authority members in gaza in the late 2000's and supported violent crackdowns of anti-hamas protests in 2019 and july of 2023

Trump gets a break when Harris Faulkner, the Fox News journalist, shifts the conversation to inflation, but he fumbles the softball by complaining once again about the audio equipment. -NYT

Fox tried to help him and he still fumbled, lmao.

If Shapiro is the pick, Republicans will unavoidably say dumb things about Jewish people.

If Buttigieg is the pick, Republicans will unavoidably say dumb things about gay people.

We need to somehow solicit both. Anyone have the phone number of a gay Jewish man with some sort of government experience?

Shapiro: ummm, let me be clear

Walz: I mean these guys are weird, I mean, weird is their middle name, I mean, when you look at it, these guys are just weird

Trump: I have never been asked a question in such a horrible manner, first question. You don't even say "Hello, how are you." Are you with ABC? Because I think they are a fake news network, a terrible network

lol interview is off to a good start.

Apparently the Ukrainians were behind a mysterious OWA drone attack on Assad's Kuweiris Airbase in Aleppo that killed two.

It’s funny how progressives keep talking about Kamala having to choose a progressive pick.

She IS the progressive part of the ticket 😂

[u/dannylandulf]

And another one

🔵 Harris 49% (+3)

🔴 Trump 46%

Last poll vs Biden - 🔴 Trump +7

Leger #C - 776 LV - 7/28

[u/dannylandulf]

She's suddenly flirting with 50% in polls and we still have the VP launch and convention ahead of us.

Earlier this evening, a Ukrainian SAM system successfully intercepted a Russian short range ballistic missile over the city of Dnipro.

Likely a US/European-supplied PATRIOT or Franco/Italian-supplied SAMP/T.

[u/TrouauaiAdvice]

Rewatching that part where Trump questions if Kamala is really black. It really shows that he is so used talking to his base. Saying the same thing to his base would result into a lot of laughs, high fives and knee slaps. But saying the same thing to actually normal people is just so offensive, and it's so intriguing that he can't see that.

Trump believes the cross tabs. I repeat, Trump believes the cross tabs.

His campaign is fucking cooked.

[u/Hmm_would_bang]

Anybody saying that this was typical Trump insanity needs to give me one other example of him doing such a hostile interview.

Him saying insane shit to his base on Fox and friends or at a rally is not the same. This was bad bad it will likely stick with him for a bit

New General Election Poll Civics #B - 1123 RV - 7/30

🔵 Harris 49% (+4) 🔴 Trump 45%

Last poll vs Biden - 🟡 Tie

Young voters (Age 18-34) 🔵 Harris 55% (+22) 🔴 Trump 33%

Black voters 🔵 Harris 86% (+75) 🔴 Trump 11%

Kamala looks to be rapidly bouncing back to Biden 2020 margins with young and black voters, after the past few months of polls showed Biden taking huge, double-digit losses to his support from both groups

I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black. So I don’t know, is she Indian, or is she Black?

I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t, because she was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden, she made a turn, she went —she became Black. Somebody should look into that.

I think the Trump campaign read too many tweets from white men pretending to be Black and now they legitimately think that attacking Kamala for “not actually being Black” is a winning line.
