- Ivanka Trump this month: "There is a level of viciousness that I was not expecting. ... I was a little blindsided by on a personal level."...to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!
- Very interesting: Buttigieg uses his Fox News town hall to call out Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham - by name - for comments they have made. "There is a reason why anyone has to swallow hard and think twice" before going on Fox, he says.
- A Trump supporting soybean farmer whose farm has lost ≈ $250k in value due to tariffs: “This isn't just numbers on a sheet or percentage of trade or dollar value. This is multi-generational American families, your base, that you are now squarely putting into financial peril."Soybeans -- yes, soybeans -- could play a big role in the midterm elections - My piece from Southern Minnesota: cnn.com/2018/06/22/pol…
- Kellyanne Conway to @abbydphillip a week ago: “I’m asking why you and the polling questions, respectfully, are still saying ‘wall’ when the president said you can call it whatever you want.”Lets just call them WALLS from now on and stop playing political games! A WALL is a WALL!
- .@Scaramucci on CNN: "There are people inside the administration that think it is their job to save America from this president. Ok?"
- Buttigieg on abortion in Fox News town hall: "I believe that the right of a woman to make her own decisions about her own reproductive health and her own body is a national right, I believe it is an American freedom."
- ABC announces they will host a town hall with Joe Biden on October 15, which was supposed to be the night of the second presidential debate before Donald Trump said he would not show up for a virtual contest.
- Wow: @harrisonjaime’s SC Senate campaign announces they have raised $57 million in Q3, calling it “the highest quarterly amount raised by a US Senate candidate in American history.” It’s hard to imagine Harrison being able to spend that much money between now and Election Day.
- The Democratic National Convention schedule is out. Notable speakers by night: M: Sanders, Cuomo, Whitmer, Kasich, Klobuchar, Michelle Obama. T: Schumer, AOC, Bill Clinton, Jill Biden W: Pelosi, HRC, Warren, the VP nom, Obama Th: Booker, Newsom, Duckworth, Harris, Biden
- Andrew Cuomo has turned his blunt, slideshow-aided daily press conferences on the Coronavirus into must watch TV for people far beyond New York. And, in doing so, the governor has set up a powerful contrast with Donald Trump. More here w/ @GregJKrieg: cnn.com/2020/03/22/pol…
- Elizabeth Warren joins the cold open of SNL. Asked about who she will endorse: “It’s tough. Maybe I’ll just pull a New York Times and endorse them both.”
- Trump, per a source, will follow the 4-yr rule to get out of Paris, meaning the US will leave on Nov 4, 2020. Election Day 2020: Nov 3.
