Vance believed sex assault allegations
The worst-performing statewide candidate in 2020 Ohio elections used to stand against the ex-President and even claimed he believed the sex assault allegations. Of course, one person I know called him an “Obama-level public speaker” so that counts for something positive for JD Vance even if I don’t know a woman who would support him. https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/23/politics/kfile-jd-vance-believed-donald-trump-sexual-assault-allegations-2016/index.html
The DEI hire
Republicans are battling over what to do about Kamala, since it should be easy to attack her record but some members seem more focused on her race and laugh. If they stick to issues they might have a chance. Then again, crime is down. Inflation is not what the GOP says and we are producing more domestic oil than at any time in history. Voters are not stupid. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/23/gop-race-comments-harris-00170…
Assassination investigation progresses
The failure of the Secret Service in Butler, Pa. is tantamount but there is a bit of weirdness. Lawmakers are calling for sex-neutral physical standards for agents to qualify. While I agree, is anyone saying poor fitness on the part of a female officer had anything to do with failure to protect the ex-President? https://www.foxnews.com/us/trump-assassination-attempt-secret-service-f…
