DUCKWORTH ANNOUNCED AS VP PICK FOR BIDEN

photo from ABC News

July 31, 2020 - In a text sent this morning at 10am Eastern/7am Pacific to registered supporters of his campaign, former Vice President Joe Biden announced his running mate for the 2020 elections - Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois. Duckworth, a Thai-American who served for 22 years in the Army and who was wounded in action, losing her legs during the Iraq War, has served as a Senator for Illinois for the last four years, having served in the House for four years prior.

Not on what was believed to be Biden's original shortlist, Duckworth had a number of major Biden fundraisers backing her, such as Joe Cotchett and Susie Bell. Having raised her national profile earlier this month in a feud with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who called her a "fraud" who "hates America," to which she replied by challenging him to "walk a mile in [her] legs," she gained some popular support as well, with Google searches for her rising.

In a Zoom roundtable this afternoon with Biden and a number of his most prominent supporters, including Senator Bernie Sanders and former President Barack Obama, Duckworth said that she was "ready for the fight" and Biden commented on how her "lifetime of public service" effectively prepared her for the role.

TRUMP RETURNS TO WINNING FORM IN CONGRESSIONAL PRIMARIES

August 7, 2020 - Having bragged for years about candidates he endorsed being undefeated in primary elections, President Donald Trump's streak fell apart in June with the defeat of Representative Denver Riggleman (R-VA) to Bob Good in Virginia's 5th congressional district. That loss was later followed by the defeats of Lynda Bennett in North Carolina and Representative Scott Tipton in Colorado. However, Trump-endorsed candidates have gotten back in the swing of things, including a victory for one of the President's favorite politicians.

In the Alabama Republican runoff for Senate, former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville defeated former Senator and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Sessions, who was one of the first elected officials to endorse the President in 2016, later fell out of favor with him when he recused himself from the investigation into the relationship between Trump and Russia.

This win was followed by two more in relatively short order - former Chief Medical Advisor to the President and nominee for Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Ronny Jackson, received the nomination in Texas's 13th congressional district, where he will replace Mac Thornberry, the former Chair of the House Armed Services Committee.

However, the most consequential primary was the one for Senate in Kansas, where former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach defeated Representative Roger Marshall. Kobach, a lawyer and conservative immigration activist, was the Republican nominee for Governor in 2018, where he lost to Democrat Laura Kelly by over 50,000 votes in the normally red state. Similarly, Kobach is neck and neck with state senator Barbara Bollier, and the race has been moved by a number of polling and prediction firms to a Tossup.

Great start -- I'm excited

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION RECAP

Photo from milwaukeeplateglass.com

August 17
Convention Chair Bennie Thompson, Chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, gaveled the Convention to order. No more than 100 people were allowed in the main area of the Wisconsin Center at a time, with most delegates watching from their homes. Featured speakers included former President Bill Clinton, former Second Lady Jill Biden, and that night's headline speaker, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who was introduced by Senator Ed Markey.

August 18
The main event of August 18 was the official balloting for the Presidential nomination. As expected, Biden was elected on the first ballot, having been officially nominated by Representative Cedric Richmond and seconded by Mayor Eric Garcetti and Representative Lisa Blunt Rochester. The nomination speech for Senator Bernie Sanders was given by Representative Ro Khanna, and was seconded by businessman Ben Cohen and Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz. Senator Tammy Duckworth was elected as Vice Presidential nominee by acclamation, having been nominated by former Senator Chris Dodd, seconded by Governor J. B. Pritzker, and the move for acclamation made by Representative Ayanna Pressley. Featured speakers included former Mayor Pete Buttigieg, former First Lady Michelle Obama, former Georgia House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams, who was introduced by former President and First Lady Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter in a video, and that evening's keynote speaker, Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

August 19
Due to Coronavirus restrictions, the third day's programming only occurred in the evening for primetime. Senator Sherrod Brown introduced the first of the evening's keynote speakers, Senator Bernie Sanders. The main event for most, however, was the speech given by Vice Presidential nominee Tammy Duckworth, who framed her remarks around "Fighting for America." She was introduced by her Senate colleague Chris Coons.

August 20
Again, due to Coronavirus restrictions, a number of Democratic congresspeople, governors, and candidates spoke during the afternoon on video, including Governor Gavin Newsom, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Representative Karen Bass, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Governor Andrew Cuomo, and Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman. In primetime, Senator Cory Booker gave the first of three headline speeches, closing with an introduction of his "friend and brother," former President Barack Obama. Obama's speech was both powerful and poignant, especially as he concluded by talking about how proud Beau Biden would be of his father before segueing into an introduction of his former Vice President. Biden's speech, which has since been named by the Internet as the "Take Back America" speech, deftly wove together stories from his life and the campaign trail with his trademark humor and groundedness. Near the end of his speech, Biden went into tears as he spoke directly to the families and friends who lost loved ones to police brutality, saying "on behalf of our nation, I apologize to you for what we have done and what we have failed to do. While I know that something like this could never be enough to fill the hole in your heart, you have my word that we will tackle this issue and make serious reforms to our policing system."

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION RECAP

August 24
A crowd of around 300 gathered in Charlotte to conduct the official business of the convention not related to the election, with around 30 people being fined for not wearing masks. A larger and less-masked crowd gathered in Jacksonville for the first night of speeches, with First Lady Melania Trump, Senator Tom Cotton, and former football coach Tommy Tuberville serving as the evening's headliners.

August 25
The convention, chaired by Ronna Romney McDaniel, did business in the early afternoon in both Jacksonville and Charlotte, holding the official balloting for Presidential and Vice Presidential nominees. Representative Elise Stefanik of New York nominated President Trump and Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida seconded him. For the Vice President, his nominator was Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb and his seconder was Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington. The evening's featured speakers were Donald Trump Jr., Senator Joni Ernst, Governor Ron DeSantis, and Representative Jeff Van Drew.

August 26
Unlike the Democratic Convention, the Republicans held a full schedule on their third day, with a number of officeholders speaking in the afternoon, as well as former President Obama's half-brother Malik. Headline speakers for the evening included Eric Trump, Governor Jim Justice, and Vice President Mike Pence, who was introduced by former Vice Presidents Dick Cheney and Dan Quayle.

August 27
Similarly to the previous day, a number of officeholders spoke in the afternoon and early evening, including Senator Josh Hawley, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, and Ivanka Trump. After a special video message from "some of the President's friends from around the world," including Rodrigo Duterte, Narendra Modi, and Nigel Farage, former Trump critic Senator Lindsey Graham introduced the President. Trump's speech was much in the vein of every rally speech he gave during the earlier campaign period, often throwing barbs at "Sleepy Joe" and "Tammy the America-Hater."

[Joseph Cao]

Great work so far!

Also, uh,

Headline speakers for the evening included Eric Trump, Governor Jim Jordan, and Vice President Mike Pence

[BigVic]

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN RECAP

Photo from Media Matters of America

A Presidential campaign in the era of the Coronavirus could have looked very different to past ones. Or, as it was in the case of the incumbent's, it was like nothing had changed since 2016. Despite restrictions on gathering and masks, President Trump and supporters held rallies often where he railed against the "Washington establishment," used nicknames for his opponents, and led chants like "drain the swamp." Biden's campaign, on the other hand, adapted to the situation as best they could, relying more on virtual options to connect with potential voters.

The debates, all held in person but with masks and without an audience, were their usual standard fare. Two moderators from 2016, Chris Wallace and Anderson Cooper, returned to moderate the last two debates, respectively, while CBS's John Dickerson moderated the first debate and NBC's Cynthia McFadden moderated the Vice Presidential debate between Pence and Duckworth. Dickerson was widely regarded as the best moderator, having thrown his traditional curveball questions both candidates and getting them to stumble. Similarly, after Pence labeled Duckworth as "aggressive," McFadden turned that back on him, causing him to flounder in an attempt to defend the President's actions.

The night before the election, polls showed Biden leading, however, no one was confident in that after Clinton's supposed chances of winning in 2016.

[Roll Roons]

So it looks like Biden is pretty much guaranteed to win. In addition to everything he's already won, CA+IL+WA+OR+HI+CO+NM gets him to 265.  From there, he would only need one of MN, MI or NV, let alone AZ, IA, OH or WI, and given that he managed to win FL and PA, he should have no trouble getting the job done. Also it looks like Democrats will get either 50 or 51 Senate seats, assuming Hickenlooper, Kelly, Peters and Smith all win. Montana is a tossup, and I think Ernst squeaks it out.
