In advance of “The Morning Meeting” on 2WAY at 9am ET this morning, you should read these twin pieces of writing by a pair of America’s most brilliant thinkers/observers/analysts, one from an anti-Trump perspective and one from an anti-Democratic Party perspective — but both clear-eyed, interesting, and fair.
1. Ron Brownstein on Harris’ intertwined demographic and Electoral College prospects.
In short, the questions are, first, can Harris regain enough of the Obama Coalition of the Ascendant to offset expected losses with Biden’s support from older and white voters?
And are her Electoral College prospects better in the Sunbelt states than the Great Lakes?
2. Alex Castellanos on X, on the politics, messaging, imagery of the rise of Harris, with this conclusion:
Trump has never been closer to losing than at this moment.
Bottom, bottom, bottom line for both: If Harris rises to the occasion, buckle up. If she doesn’t, she might not get this race to a competitive place.
