Overview

  • Biden used a speech at the National Bar Association’s centennial gala to accuse the Trump administration of undermining the Constitution.
  • Harris is touring to promote her memoir “107 Days,” revisiting her 2024 campaign and confirming she won’t seek California’s governorship in 2026.
  • Hunter Biden’s podcast appearances have drawn criticism from fellow Democrats and provided Republicans with fresh talking points about party discord.
  • Senior strategists are rallying around emerging figures such as Andy Beshear, J.B. Pritzker and Ruben Gallego as potential leaders for the next election cycle.
  • Republican operatives are capitalizing on Biden-era figures’ visibility to underscore Democratic vulnerabilities ahead of congressional contests.
