As President Joe Biden faces a growing drumbeat of pressure to drop his reelection bid, a majority of Democrats think his vice president would make a good president herself.
A new poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about 6 in 10 Democrats believe Kamala Harris would do a good job in the top slot. About 2 in 10 Democrats don’t believe she would, and another 2 in 10 say they don’t know enough to say.
Since Biden’s debate debacle on June 27, many Democrats have privately and even openly looked to Harris to step in and succeed Biden as the party’s presidential nominee.

As the list of Democrats in Congress calling for President Joe Biden to end his reelection bid grows, some long-time Democratic donors are joining efforts to urge the president to end his campaign.
One of those donors is Whitney Tilson, and he explained to Scripps News that rumors casting doubt on President Biden's political future are continuing to spread throughout the party. [SNIP] Tilson says all of the recent blunders are "setting it up for him to step aside."
"There's just extreme urgency here and Biden has basically no support left anywhere — almost anywhere — in the Democratic Party right now," Tilson added.

Just months before many college students will take part in their first Election Day, a survey has found a concerning amount of them don't actually know much about the background of what they're voting on. [SNIP] For example, only 31% of the more than 3,000 students surveyed knew James Madison was a Founding Father of the Constitution, and 60% couldn't identify term lengths for members of the U.S. Senate or House of Representatives. Only 27% knew Vice President Kamala Harris is the president of the U.S. Senate, 35% knew the House Speaker is Mike Johnson and one-third incorrectly thought the Constitution required the Supreme Court to have nine judges.

Bud Light's popularity continues to decline more than a year after a boycott disrupted the US beer industry.
A backlash that began last April - after the beer giant used a transgender influencer in an advert - has snowballed, new sales figures show.
Back then, Bud Light was the undisputed top-selling beer in American stores by a margin. It had held the place for decades.
It fell below Modelo Especial last summer - and now it has slipped to No3 behind Michelob Ultra. Coors Light could overtake Bud Light by the end of the year if the fall in sales - shown in the graph below - continues.

When the Founding Fathers mutually pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to each other, they did so “with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence.” [SNIP] Divine providence was also the only thing standing between Donald Trump and death Saturday evening. Had the would-be assassin’s bullet been a fraction of an inch to the right, we would be having a much different conversation right now. If the attempted murder of Donald Trump “is evidence of the reality of evil in the world,” as Robert Jeffress, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, said, Trump’s survival is evidence of divine providence.

Donald Trump Jr. called out corporate media and Democrats who, in the wake of an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, are equivocating and victim-blaming Republicans for the political violence and bloodshed.
“The leftwing media and Democrat political hacks are actually trying to ‘both sides’ some psychopath attempting to assassinate my father,” the former president’s son said in a post to X on Sunday.
“Just when you think these people can’t get any lower, they always do!!!” he added.

The small, rural city of Butler woke up Sunday morning in disbelief, grappling with the aftermath of an attempted assassination of a presidential candidate that took place too close to home. [SNIP] Mr. Watterson had driven by the rally while it was ongoing and noticed that the farm show grounds seemed to be lacking strict access and crowd control. He added that the layout of the grounds had multiple entryways.
“There were people crowded around the fence. There were people everywhere, so the fact that someone could get on one of those buildings was not unlikely at all,” he said.

What the hell happened - and how was it possible? These questions will be at the heart of the FBI investigation into probable multiple failures by the Secret Service and others in the lead-up to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. [SNIP] During 25 years with the FBI, I have seen how countless similar rallies were organised and I consider it highly likely that the Secret Service was responsible for security within an enclosed perimeter, while the local police took charge of the wider zone outside.

Campaigners have uncovered worrying teaching materials for the Pentagon's 160 military schools that many service members may see as unpatriotic and even scary.
Training manuals for its 8,000 teachers advise that Thanksgiving feasts have no historical basis and that America was founded on land 'stolen' from natives.
Though uncontroversial for some, Adam Andrzejewski, who uncovered the documents via public records requests, calls it a 'perverse' way to teach kids of service members.
His revelations come as Republicans and Democrats clash in the Senate over LGBTQ+ troops and other controversies in the $886 billion defense bill.

When the English arrived in Australia, they discovered tribesmen using curved pieces of wood that they called “bou-mar-rangs” or “boomerangs” which fly away and come back at you.
Politics has lots of boomerangs. The latest throwing stick to fly out and come circling back when least expected was a Democrat conspiracy aimed at keeping Trump out of the White House. [SNIP] Even if Biden remains the nominee and wins, and then plops, there’s no mechanism for many electors voting for anyone else and that makes for a very split ticket.
Democrat electors would have a choice of selecting a dead (or brain dead) man or nothing.

Residents of the west-central town of Springfield, Ohio, are demanding that their city council do something to stem the tide of the Haitian immigrants that have flooded the city. [SNIP] The town situated just west of the state capitol in Columbus has been a target of Haitian immigrants at least since 2014, and in the ensuing years, some ten thousand had moved to the Rust Belt town. But in the last four years alone, that population has ballooned to more than 20,000. The influx is causing serious pressures to mount on the town.

France is on the verge of a “financial crisis” and consequent economic decline after the surprise success of a hard left coalition in this weekend’s elections, the country’s outgoing finance minister Bruno Le Maire has warned. [SNIP] In a possible hint at future chaos, riot police clashed with left-wing demonstrators in Paris on Sunday evening.
The hastily assembled Popular Front (NFP) - spearheaded by left-wingers including former Presidential candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon - is pledging to increase public spending by £125 billion if they successfully form a government. They have also proposed a 90 percent tax on incomes over £340,000 a year.
Comments:
Wow, the Democrats are truly screwed if Joe Biden is nominated and a substitute candidate replaces him after the convention. And it's their own fault!
