Yesterday I saw a headline referring to "embattled US President Biden." In my experience, any public official so labelled in the media is as good as finished.

If you want examples of masterful public speaking, run back Michelle and Barack’s speeches tonight. Elite delivery, cadence, vocal clarity, tonality, pace, and so many other categories. No hyperbole, they’re two of the best to do it in history.

Voters have differing expectations for whether things will improve – or get worse – for various groups in society if Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump holds the White House next year. pewrsr.ch/3TK4MTV

ECPIP director Ashley Koning spoke to Kaleigh Rogers of The New York Times about methodologies used by pollsters to improve the accuracy of pre-election polls. Koning cited efforts by pollsters to select representative samples and draw accurate conclusions based on sample data.

ECPIP director Ashley Koning spoke with Bloomberg on these financial dynamics, highlighting how Harris has cut into Trump's economic lead but "hasn’t completely closed that gap."

"Trump has played up, in this election, his affinity and kinship with men, so Harris is combatting that given issues of reproductive rights [and] abortion...going strongly after the women demographic," Koning said. Watch Dr. Koning's appearance below: youtu.be/FgMiAqHGFaM?fe…

VOA DIRECTOR MICHAEL ABRAMOWITZ: "I am deeply saddened that for the 1st time in 83 years, the storied Voice of America is being silenced. VOA needs thoughtful reform & we have made progress in that regard. But today’s action will leave VOA unable to carry out its vital mission."

Shocked and baffled by Trump ordering virtual shutdown of #VOA #RadioFreeEurope. Important instruments of soft power.

#VOA rebroadcasts a lot of content from mainstream media. Is that what leads MAGA to shut it down?

With today's actions by the President, I have finally figured out what's going on. There must have been a slight delay at the White House earlier this month. The plan must have been to announce the new tariffs on April Fool's Day!
