Two new polls from The New York Times and Siena College show that President Joe Biden underperforms Vice President Kamala Harris against former president Donald Trump in Pennsylvania and Virginia.The surveys contradict Biden’s own claims. During his first “big boy” press conference in months last week during the conclusion of the NATO summit, Biden was asked whether he would step down if data showed Harris polled better against Trump than he did. Biden responded: “No one’s saying that.”But the polls show that Harris outperforms Biden among young voters and non-white voters specifically.The new surveys come after weeks of Democratic anxiety...

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

Joe Biden’s campaign attempted to tamp down concerns in the West Wing on Wednesday by blasting out a memo to the president’s top advisers that claimed his disastrous debate did little to hurt his chances at beating Donald Trump, reported POLITICO, who received a copy. That memo reportedly said the Biden campaign’s internal polling showed the president dropped only a half-percentage point after the debate in key battleground states, which are often considered to be Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia. That same polling reportedly showed that Trump improved his vote share by a fifth of a percentage point in the same time period, suggesting Thursday’s debate had no material impact on the presidential race. In reality, however, everything’s changed. Top Democrats have called on Biden to bow out of the race, while Republicans have questioned if the president is mentally fit enough to finish even his current term. The memo appeared to be an attempt to get out ahead of less-friendly polls for Biden, like one from The New York Times that’s rumored to be published Wednesday.Read it at POLITICORead more at The Daily Beast.

Conservatives have done the United States a huge favor by explaining in detail what they’ll try to do if Donald Trump is reelected. Project 2025 , a “presidential transition project” of the Heritage Foundation, helpfully lays out how a group of former Trump officials would like to transform the country into a right-wing dystopia where the rich thrive and the rest of us die aspiring to be rich.
