Morning Reads: Biden, Harris, Trump, and More in the Political Mix

Today, my reading list covers a mix of insightful analyses and reflections on the evolving political landscape. From Biden’s candidacy strengths to the dynamics of voter psychology, here’s a breakdown of the articles on my radar:

One intriguing piece questions whether Joe Biden was the better candidate all along. It’s a deep dive into his policies and political experience, arguing that Biden might have always been the optimal choice for tackling the nation’s challenges.

Meanwhile, there’s a sharp critique of the Democrats’ outreach efforts in How Kamala Harris can win over non-college-educated white voters. The analysis points out the key areas where her campaign needs to adjust to capture this crucial demographic in swing states. I think it’s probably too late for that.

On a different note, I’m also reading about the unseen shift among middle-class Black voters by Salena Zito leaning toward the right. It offers a fresh perspective on the shifting political allegiances within this often-overlooked electorate.

Then there’s an insightful discussion led by James Carville, where he admits he’s “not interested in being fair” when it comes to beating Trump. This piece dives into the ruthless political tactics Carville endorses and the documentary that showcases them. THIS MIGHT COME INTO PLAY IF TRUMP WINS. Be warned.

For a more critical take, The Ongoing Mass Delusion Created Around Donald Trump dissects how media narratives have shaped public perception of the former president, fueling a deep divide across the country.

In a similar vein, there’s an analysis of how Kamala Harris isn’t repeating the mistakes of 2016, showing how the Democrats have learned from past missteps and are recalibrating their strategy for 2024.

For some other political reading, there's an exploration of Trump’s genius McDonald’s stunt. The article suggests that even something as simple as eating McDonald's could help him connect with voters in a relatable way.

Another fascinating read delves into how Liz Cheney has shown her value to Democrats, examining how her independent stance could resonate with both sides of the political spectrum, particularly among voters quietly leaning towards Harris. But honestly - when you start walking back your stance on abortion - you’re probably treading water as it is.

There’s also a piece speculating whether Trump will outperform the polls again in 2024. It breaks down the scenarios that might lead to another upset, keeping us all guessing until election day.

Finally, I’m wrapping up with an alarming article on the impact of criminal migrants running free in local districts, raising serious questions about the state of immigration enforcement and community safety.

That’s what’s on my reading list tonight. Plenty of food for thought!
