Three Democrats independently used the “perfect storm” metaphor in conversations with gdebenedetti to refer to the pandemic, Trump’s plummeting popularity, and demographic shifts that have increased Texas' number of Latino voters and city dwellers

Biden has started to attend in-person, socially distant campaign events. Photo: JIM WATSON/AFP via Getty Images Late in the afternoon on the last Monday in June, 430 Democrats, who had paid up to $100,000 each, clicked into a private, Texas-themed Zoom call organized by Joe Biden’s campaign. They were greeted by former Planned Parenthood chief Cecile Richards, whose mother, Ann, was the state’s last Democratic governor.

Four months into lockdown — about halfway between being left for dead politically early in the primary and Election Day in November — the nominee and his campaign are still adjusting to political fortunes they can hardly believe all around the country, let alone in Texas.

Biden’s leads in the crucial swing states are more solid than expected — Trump’s campaign team is already worried he may have too big a mountain to climb in Michigan, the site of perhaps his most shocking 2016 victory — but the leads are still smaller than Biden’s apparent national margin. Biden has only recently begun venturing out for campaign events and rarely travels farther than next-door Pennsylvania.

Poll: Biden maintains double-digit lead over TrumpJoe Biden continues to lead President Trump by a wide margin nationally, a new poll released Thursday shows, as the race for the White House stabilizes, at least for the time being, with Biden well in front LMAO Ha!! Ha!! Ha!! Ha!! VERY HARD to believe. Assuming your polls are accurate: Who are the ignorant twits being polled? No one of sound mind would vote JoeBiden. America can’t afford to go back to ObamaBiden policies. They damn near destroyed our USA. What would you say if I told when polled most Trump supporters are saying Biden. Since your polls are skewed we thought we'd play a little game.

90-year-old man comes out as gay in viral Facebook postOne of the first things you’ll notice on 90-year-old Kenneth Felts' Facebook page are his big smile and rainbow hoodie. It’s a new addition to go along with a message for everyone that knows him: “I am free, I am gay and I am out.” why do i care. if i plastered it all over the gay community that i wasnt gay and im happy. how do you think they would take. treat ppl how you want to be treated and for the love of god, stop allowing yourself to be used politically by someone who doesnt care about you I applaud that you are so conditioned to clap for this, you all fail to see that a man chosing to live in the closet for 90 years, only to come out in 2020, is an abject coward.

Why Joe Biden’s instinctive caution makes real change possibleJoe Biden, a consummate moderate with an ambitious platform, could well become America's next president. To succeed, he must cleave to the centre. Our cover this week Aaaaand unfollowed. To think, in this day and age, the centre is a viable political position shows how out of touch and irrelevant The Economist is. Considering it's Biden, we'll get a new word: 'Retrical' I mean, must he?
