Salon

Veteran GOP pollster and political strategist Frank Luntz told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Wednesday that Vice President Kamala Harris, riding a surge of enthusiasm surrounding her candidacy and bringing in people uninterested in supporting either former president Donald Trump or President Joe Biden, has changed the pool of voters who will decide the November election. If trends continue in this direction, Luntz suggested, Democrats may not only win the presidency and retake the House, but also cling on to the Senate despite a lopsided map that favors Republicans.

Michelle Obama has
never exactly been lacking in poise. It’s hard to think of a single moment
since she arrived on the national stage nearly 20 years ago that she visibly fumbled.

and singular grace. So is it really possible that in Tuesday night’s speech before
the Democratic National Convention she could...

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.
