Kamala Harris has seen a rise in popularity in the polls, especially in key battleground states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Independents have also moved in her direction. Harris is now more popular than President Joe Biden was before he ended his campaign, setting the stage for the 2024 presidential race. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is gearing up for a virtual discussion with Elon Musk, highlighting their volatile relationship. Musk initially drew praise from the right, but tensions arose when he voiced support for a different GOP candidate and criticized Trump’s age. Despite their differences, Musk reinstated Trump’s Twitter account. In recent months, Musk’s stance has shifted, and he announced his full endorsement of Trump after an assassination attempt on the former president. The conversation between Trump and Musk tonight comes amidst their complex history. In other news, the FBI is investigating a hack of the Trump campaign’s computer networks, Trump is planning to sue the Justice Department and the FBI for $115 million, and the Democratic National Convention in Chicago will feature high-profile speakers. Additionally, Harris and Biden are calling to end taxes on tipped wages, Democrats are joking about a false rumor involving Sen. JD Vance, and the Freedom Caucus is pushing for new proof-of-citizenship requirements to vote, potentially risking a government shutdown one month before the election.
