Today’s edition of From the Politics Desk highlights Kamala Harris’ rise in popularity in the polls, particularly in key battleground states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Harris now leads in these states, with independents also leaning towards her. The polls show that Harris is currently more popular than President Joe Biden was before dropping out of the race, potentially reshaping the 2024 presidential election landscape. The newsletter also discusses the volatile relationship between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, who are set to have a virtual discussion on X, the social media platform Musk now owns. The relationship between the two has been tumultuous, with Musk drawing both praise and ire from Trump leading up to tonight’s event. Some important updates from the political landscape are the FBI’s investigation into alleged hacking of the Trump campaign’s computer networks, Trump’s false claims about Harris’ campaign using AI to manipulate images, and his plans to sue the Justice Department and FBI for malfeasance. The newsletter also covers the upcoming Democratic National Convention, calls to end taxes on tipped wages, a false rumor involving Sen. JD Vance and a couch, and the Freedom Caucus’s push for new proof-of-citizenship requirements for voting that could lead to a government shutdown before the election. Additionally, it addresses Trump’s unauthorized use of Céline Dion’s song “My Heart Will Go On” at a recent rally.
