President Biden put out a direct-to-camera video this morning:
“A year ago today, when we launched this campaign, I said we were in the fight for the soul of this nation. I told you nothing less than democracy and freedom were on the ballot. With every passing day, that has proven true.”
Politico: “According to interviews with two dozen people on both sides who were granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive subject, the relationship between Biden and the country’s newspaper of record — for years the epitome of a liberal press in the eyes of conservatives — remains remarkably tense, beset by misunderstandings, grudges and a general lack of trust.”
A new NBC News poll finds “26% of registered voters say there is a chance they could vote for a different presidential candidate come November, while 66% of those surveyed say they have made up their minds.”
“Almost the same share of voters currently backing Biden (81%) or Trump (78%) also say they do not plan to change their vote.
