Katie Rogers @katierogersWhat? Trump complained at length about how much being president has cost him, then abruptly boomeranged back into virus/social distancing. "I am a wartime president."

Reminder: his non-blind trusted businesses are either failing, sold off, or closed down right now.
Has me think he or his sugar daddy mobsters have rackets in those fields too.

Biden getting outflanked on healthcare, trump repeating his claim that his will get rid of "bad healthcare"
My bet?
Whitmer
Warren
Harris
Abrams
Shaheen (this seems like a Biden thing to do)
Demings
Klob
No order:
Abrams
Warren
Harris
Klobuchar
Whitmer (although I think she ruled herself out already?)
?????
with all his hugging and molesting of the youth. we're fucked.
Seems likely. Especially with Harris, Abrams and Whitmer
Just ended a few minutes ago with Trump saying he would not drop his ACA lawsuit and that hes willing to kill it with no backup in the middle of this pandemic.
Biden's ad team can't even keep up with all this ammo Trump's giving them.
I've been on the Demings train for a bit to be honest. She's from a swing state, law enforcement experience, was an impeachment House manager, good personal story, and seems like a lovely person.
I'm sure she's a lovely woman but please no actual police officers on the ticket. Biden can win Blue Lives Matter suburban white people already.
I keep thinking McBath would be a good pick: from GA, federal experience, heartbreaking personal story and connection to one of Biden's best issues.
Yes, she's on my quickly drawn up shortlist. I keep thinking there's a non Warren/Amy white woman on there too but I can't pinpoint who.
Maybe Lujan Grisham too?
I can bet Obama is pushing Warren behind the scenes.
Manu Raju @mkrajuA number of Senate aides and senators are angry Paul did not go into isolation after he took the test or after he leaned about the positive cases at the event he was at. Instead, he continued on with his schedule, attending GOP lunches, going to gym, etc
https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/1241870225903157249 … "You'd think Dr. Paul would have better judgment than to needlessly put his colleagues - many of whom are in the high-risk category - at potential risk of exposure," one Senate source says

Baldwin's too risky. Whitmer said no. Hassan and Shaheen add nothing demographically and won't bring NH along because we'll win it anyway.
Maybe someone like Sherrill, though she might be too moderate (in presentation) for a lot of people's taste and again, we need no help in NJ.
Maybe Slotkin - young, national security background, from a state we need. But yes, I don't see many white women options.
I don't see Abrams getting any real consideration.
I feel like he needs to have some Latina potential candidates.
If you're being cautious that should include interaction with others. There's no world where testing yourself makes sense but limiting your exposure to others doesn't.
I think all of Congress should be tested regularly, symptoms or not. I don't think that special treatment should apply to the NBA though...
That last tweet by Biden, pointing out that it was young people that bore the brunt of the last crisis, it really nice to see. There's been a complete lack of discourse about the winners/losers from the Great Recession that Democrats never had and we have to get around because it's fundamental to politics even in the era of global pandemic and depression.
