The Republicans are panicking. They believe the COVID-19 pandemic and Trump's failure to act on it quickly could cost them the Senate and White House.
The polls don't mean shit. We have a lot of work to do.
We must not get too comfortable with thinking Democratic candidate Joe Biden has this in the bag.
We learned that Hillary Clinton had led in most polls but ended up still losing in 2016. Biden who is being attacked by the right and some on the left. These attacks have circulated on social media and could pick up steam as we roll into August.
The Republican senator from Wisconsin, Ron Johnson is allegedly holding information that could be used in the election. He deliberately took information from Ukraine operatives who side with the Russian Federation. Johnson and Republicans are willing to share this shit with Fox News, Breitbart and far-right outlets.
Barack Obama is hoping to build the coalition that he made back in 2008.
A new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research also finds Trump's approval for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic falling to a new low, with just 32% of Americans supportive of his approach. Even Trump's standing on the economy, long the high water mark for him, has fallen over the past few months after seeming ascendant earlier this year.
These political headwinds have sparked a sudden summer shift in the White House and the Trump campaign. After spending months playing down the seriousness of the pandemic and largely ignoring the virus' resurgence in several states, Trump warned this past week that the situation is likely to get worse before it gets better. After reportedly minimizing the importance of wearing mask to limit the spread of the virus, Trump finally urged Americans to do exactly that. And after insisting he would press forward with a large campaign convention in August, Trump announced he scrapped those plan.
Trump's top advisers said "don't count him out."
Click the map to create your own at The electoral map has changed. Wisconsin is leaning towards Biden. Ohio is now a toss-up. Previously, I had Ohio and Wisconsin as likely Trump. Minnesota is likely Biden. Texas is likely Trump.
Iowa continues to lean towards Trump. Missouri is leaning Trump.
Michigan and Pennsylvania are a loss for Trump.
Arizona, Florida, North Carolina and Georgia are now toss ups. These states that Trump carried in 2016.

| Don't take this election for granted. |
In the summer, Trump was trailing Clinton badly before he ended up winning this election.
Trump has been able to hold on to a loyal base of voters and that could be a key to his victory. Biden has been out of the public eye for nearly four years. He has some name recognition but still considered a remnant of Barack Obama (like Hillary Clinton).
With Fox News and in particular, Sean "Softball" Hannity and Tucker Carlson still anchoring, it's going to be a lot of disinformation and name-drops.
Biden will eventually announce his running mate. Whomever it is, will face the ringer.
Biden is being pressured to pick a woman of color to be his running mate. We only hope that the pick will satisfy Democrats.
Trump has tried to soften the rhetoric when he's doing those White House Coronavirus Task Force briefings. However, he still post bullshit on social media and continues to golf. He had previously complained about Obama golfing when there's a crisis.
Trump continues to golf at his private resorts without a care in the world.
He'll be golfing again as a private citizen once we vote his ass out. But it's going to take a lot of votes and fair electoral college outcome for that to happen.
Trump still has the advantage and believe me, I don't want to see the junk food media get it wrong about his chances of losing badly.
