Poor Biden, he wanted to “hold onto the Democrats’ mid-20th century base of White working-class voters. But Harris… has leaned more comfortably into the party’s modern identity as a coalition primarily of often economically struggling minorities and more comfortable… https://t.co/uWrexDFpsP https://t.co/NPpH0TGr6D

If you had some scandalous story (eg Schwarzenneger groping, Bush DUI) on one of the candidates, what would be the ideal time to drop it? Can’t give them time to recover, but can’t do it so close to the election that they can fend it off until vote’s over. I say next Tues. You?

In other words, you’d have thought the immediate need to get reelected would have prompted the Biden WH to clamp down on the border quickly, whatever the long-term interests of the party. Something must have been pushing back in the other direction. NGOs a likely candidate.

When they write history of Biden’s disastrous border policies, the influence of these NGO’s *has* to be a big part of it. Yes, mass immigration was always in long-term interest of Dem party-but need to win in 2024 was in short term interest and short term usually beats long term. https://t.co/d1MZxXo8RN

Campaigns want to avoid being Moby Grape–great 60s group whose eponymous debut album was so good they decided to release 6 singles at once. They stole media from each other, resulting in failure & the group’s breakup. Would they succeed today? Don’t know. But Kamala’s not MG yet

Plus Social Security is *always* going to be part of Dem closing message, either in the news or under radar in mailers, etc. Abortion & isolationism are result of Cheney’s presence (though why campaign with *her*?) Hard to believe Harris is going to close on need for war! 4/4

On @2waytvapp. Halperin says Harris pushes 4 new messages (in addition to ‘unstable’);1) min. wage 2) Social Security 3) Pro-lifers react against Dobbs 4) anti-isolationism. Is that too many or is there bandwidth to push them all? He suggests too many. 1/ https://t.co/a99USvUFCf
