* Is the “Dump Biden” movement paused, dead, or moving forward behind the scenes?
* What challenges does each man face, how do they feel about those challenges, and what do they plan to do about them?
ESSENTIAL READING/VIEWING
* Of the things Donald Trump said in his various talks with the media, this one in his New York Post interview caught our attention:
[Trump] also said that “we hear” that Biden will order the Department of Justice to drop its two prosecutions of Trump.
* In one TikTok video, the absolutely perfect distillation of Blue America’s struggle to grapple with the political benefits accruing to the candidate who was shot at:

I don’t condone violence. Period. I do, however, remember which candidate injected violence into the public sphere over and over and over since 2015. Political violence is never OK, but I’ll reserve my compassion for men who don’t do everything they can to incite it.

* Politico:
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, convinced Biden will lose, has been working the phones since June 27 in hopes of finding a way to ease him off the ticket.
One of her colleagues was struck to see her chatting, furtively but openly, with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries last week in a corner of the House Democratic cloakroom in plain sight of a dozen lawmakers.
The extent of Pelosi’s behind-the-scenes role hasn’t been fully revealed and may never be if the former speaker has her way. But I’m told by people familiar with the exchanges that she’s stage-managed phone calls to Jeffries, plotted strategy with the biggest names in Democratic politics and told one former elected official bluntly that Biden’s legacy can’t be destroying their party.
