Kamala Harris

Political Wire -A new Financial Times/Michigan Ross School of Business poll finds more Americans trust Kamala Harris to handle the economy than Donald Trump, 42% to 41%. Also interesting: “Fully 60% of those surveyed said Harris should either break completely from the president’s economic policies or ‘make major changes’ to his platform.” 

New Yorker -   Few issues are more important to Harris’s chances in November than reproductive rights, which also include in-vitro fertilization and contraception. Since Dobbs, pro-choice advocates have scored victories on ballot initiatives in states such as Kansas, Michigan, Kentucky, and Ohio, signalling the strength of the Democrats’ case. In Wisconsin, where four of the past six Presidential races have been decided by less than one percentage point, polls show that abortion is the top issue for Democrats. “There is not a piece of the coalition who we feel is not mobilized by this issue,” Morgan Mohr, the director of the Harris campaign’s reproductive-rights strategy, told me.
