Trump talking about "violent" migrants who have come to the US: "You know, it's not just South America. We have people coming in from the Congo, large numbers from the Congo and Africa."

Harris, asked by Charlamagne Tha God if it's bad electoral strategy for politicians to talk specifically about their plans for Black people: "I am running to be president for everybody, but I am clear-eyed about the history and disparities that exist for specific communities..."

Election discourse is broken. Notice the debate becomes about "field" vs. "house" African-Americans and not about the policies the two candidates are proposing and what they would mean for Black people. Which is actually helpful for voters?

The Biden White House was very disciplined in its message on the Fed, except for a few stray comments here and there. They even put out a memo on the importance of central-bank independence. It’s a key difference from Trump on economic approach. He is willing to bully them.
