Joe Manchin (I-WV) said he will not endorse Kamala Harris after she announced she wants to get rid of the filibuster to reinstate the abortion protections once guaranteed by Roe v. Wade.“Shame on her," Manchin said of the vice president’s support for scrapping the longstanding procedure that requires 60 Senate votes to pass most laws. "She knows the filibuster is the Holy Grail of democracy. It's the only thing that keeps us talking and working together. If she gets rid of that, then this would be the House on steroids."He added that he would not be endorsing her after hearing her latest comments—a departure from hints earlier this month that he was getting ready to back the Democratic nominee.Read more at The Daily Beast.

If Robert F. Kennedy Jr. were president, this is the kind of Cabinet he might appoint: Vani Hari, a.k.a. the “Food Babe” influencer; The Biggest Loser’s Jillian Michaels; the conservative psychologist Jordan B. Peterson and his daughter, the raw-meat enthusiast Mikhaila Peterson Fuller; and 18-year-old Grace Price, a self-identified citizen scientist.The former Democrat turned spoiler presidential candidate served as a headliner for a four-hour roundtable presentation yesterday on Capitol Hill. Moderated by Senator Ron Johnson, a hard-right Republican from Wisconsin, the event was titled American Health and Nutrition: A Second Opinion—an apt name, given that the whole thing had a very do-your-own-research vibe.When Kennedy endorsed Donald Trump for president last month, the two forged an alliance that Kennedy has begun referring to as MAHA (Make America Healthy Again). The partnership has produced a super PAC; also, hats. The alliance was the natural culmination of a broader trend in American politics that has seen the Trumpian right meld with the vax-skeptical, anti-establishment left: Woo-woo meets MAGA, you could call it, or, perhaps, the crunch-ificiation of conservatism. Since dropping out of the presidential race, Kennedy has been angling for a role in Trump’s orbit, because he—like others in the room yesterday—is desperate for any vehicle toward relevance. And so far, allegiance to Trump has offered more of a spotlight than anything that came before.“The U.S. health-care system is an existential threat to our country,” Kennedy told the crowd in the standing-room-only caucus room named for his uncle President John F. Kennedy. “If America fails, the chief reason will be because we let our country get sicker, more depressed, fatter, and more infertile, at an increasing rate.” Kennedy had gotten to know Johnson during the pandemic, when Johnson was undermining public confidence in vaccines and touting unproven treatments for COVID-19. “He was the only member of this body for some time who was willing to challenge the orthodoxy,” Kennedy said, describing Johnson as a “close personal friend.”And so it went on, and on. From my seat in the audience, I listened to statement after statement decrying pharmaceutical firms, seed oils, and the lies of the food pyramid. Speakers cited the rates of obesity, cancer, and diabetes, and blamed them on “metabolic dysfunction.” They warned of the presence of microplastics in food and in the air, which can end up settling in the human brain. “The brain is about 0.5 percent microplastics,” Kennedy said, which a few recent studies have found; in Kennedy’s case, it also contains a percentage of worm. Four hours was a very long time.The event felt intended to be subversive, as though the panelists were providing the truth that the media will never tell you—because, of course, Big Media is in cahoots with Big Pharma, Big Ag, Big Tech, Big Everything. But the truth, you could say, is already out there. An entire media ecosystem of podcasts is devoted to telling you the sort of stuff laid out by the panel. Many of yesterday’s panelists have their own shows, and several of them have made an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, which is consistently the world’s most popular podcast.Fuller, one such podcast host and the CEO of her father’s online education site, the Peterson Academy, explained that she had fixed her autoimmune and mood disorders by eating only meat. She now promotes the “Lion Diet,” which involves consuming nothing but ruminant meats, salt, and water. “I’m not suggesting the average person does this,” she said, but, she insisted, the government should definitely study the diet’s therapeutic effects.Next went Peterson the elder. Prone to long diatribes delivered with the cadence of a congregational preacher, he offered a lesson about the scientific process and ketogenesis. Frankly, I had trouble following his point, and apparently I wasn’t the only one: Onstage next to Peterson, Kennedy was staring off into the middle distance, his mind somewhere else.For her presentation, the Food Babe held up placards with ingredient lists for Gatorade and Doritos in America versus in Europe, calling for limits on additives and dyes in children’s cereal (Make Froot Loops Boring Again). Hari has built up a following of people, parents especially, who are legitimately concerned about what goes into highly processed foods, but she has also faced criticism for fearmongering with unfounded claims. Alex Clark, a commentator for the conservative group Turning Point USA and the host of the conservative Culture Apothecary podcast, railed against the vaccine schedule for children: Parents “did not sign up to co-parent with the government. We want a divorce!”Somewhere during hour three, Kennedy advised against eating any food that comes in a package. Starving and bored, I unwrapped and scarfed down my chocolate-chip Kind bar. A few rows in front of me, Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz’s wife, Ginger Luckey Gaetz, was posting happily: “Truth bombs being dropped,” she wrote on X.Why is America’s list of accepted chemicals so much longer than Europe’s, and why are the Europeans so much better at this than we are? Speaker after speaker wanted to know. The answer, of course, is that the regulations followed in the European Union are more stringent than ours. And some of the panelists demanding change have allied themselves with a party that—like Clark—does not exactly share their regulatory goals.Which brings us to the strangeness of the alliance between Kennedy and Trump. Their partnership can be explained by their shared distrust in institutions. Their respective movements have bonded over a sneaking suspicion that the liberal elite is conspiring against them. But that may be where the similarities end. For all of his populist campaign bluster, during his first term, Trump was an ally to Big Business, appointing what ProPublica called a “staggering” number of lobbyists to positions of power, unraveling nutritional standards for school meals, and reversing bans on chemical and pesticide use in agriculture. If tougher, European-style regulation is desired by some of the panelists, he is the arch-deregulator. What’s more, Trump has demonstrated next to zero interest in seed oils and neurotoxins and metabolic ketosis. He has only “concepts” of a health-care plan for America. He is a big fan of the Big Mac—he is Mr. Filet-O-Fish.Kennedy surely knows this. Only months ago, Trump called him a “Radical Left Lunatic” and the “dumbest member of the Kennedy Clan.” Yet Kennedy now bends the knee. But from Trump’s point of view at least, the MAGA-MAHA congruence seems tactical and temporary. If he becomes president again, Trump seems sure to disappoint the woo-woo caucus.

Vice President Kamala Harris speaks as her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz looks on during a stop on their campaign bus tour in Rochester, Pennsylvania, on August 18, 2024. | Angela Weiss/AFP via Getty Images Now that the dust has settled after the first and perhaps only presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, the state of the polling looks clear: Harris has a slight edge in a race that remains extremely close. Harris leads national polls, on average, by 2 or 3 percentage points. More importantly, she leads in the key electoral college states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania by 1 to 2 points in recent polling averages. And if she wins all three, that would be just enough to give her the presidency (so long as she holds onto the other blue states, and Nebraska’s Second District). But it’s important to remember that a 1 or 2 point lead in polling averages is not a safe or reliable lead. A polling error underestimating Trump in these states — of the sort that occurred in 2016 or 2020 — could send Harris to defeat. As for the other swing states: Nevada has had few high-quality polls since the debate, but the averages currently show a very close race, with Harris leading by a point or less. But Trump has a slight lead — 2 points or less — in the averages for North Carolina, Arizona, and Georgia.  The big picture, though, is that all seven of the swing states are close enough in polls that they could easily go to either candidate. The New York Times/Siena polls have shown some unusual results Though the news for Harris in post-debate polling has generally been good, some results from the New York Times/Siena College polls tell a more complicated story. This polling found Harris up by 4 points in Pennsylvania, the most important swing state, which is fantastic for her. But it also showed a tied race nationally — and larger than average Trump leads in North Carolina (3 points), Georgia (4 points), and Arizona (5 points). Typically, the best practice for looking at campaign polling is to throw it all into an average, since any one pollster’s results could be an outlier. But the Times polls are highly respected in political circles, so it may be worth contemplating what it would mean for the race if their recent polls turned out to be accurate. One takeaway is that though those polls are generally worse for Harris, the Pennsylvania result is actually quite good — better than average. Overall, the Keystone State polling has not looked great for Harris since she entered the race, leading to many takes about her purported Pennsylvania “problem,” second-guessing about whether she should have picked the state’s governor, Josh Shapiro, as her running mate, and a belief that the Electoral College math gives Trump an advantage. The Times polls, however, essentially point to a parallel world in which Electoral College bias doesn’t help Trump, and may even help Harris significantly. The Times has not polled Wisconsin or Michigan this month, but their polling of the states last month showed Harris up in those states — and in Pennsylvania — by 4 points.  Why would this be the case? Nate Cohn, the Times’ chief political analyst, has actually written since last year that Trump’s Electoral College edge might be fading. That could be because Republicans have gained ground in heavily blue states, like New York, but they’re still nowhere close to actually flipping those states — while Democrats have held on in the battleground states. The 2022 midterm results appear to be consistent with such a theory. For Biden in 2020, the decisive Electoral College state was Wisconsin, but his margin was nearly 4 points worse there than his national margin, a serious gap. For Harris this time around, polling averages have tended to show a smaller disadvantage — but they have typically shown her performing a bit worse in the pivotal state, Pennsylvania, than she does nationally.  The Times polling is unusual, though, in implying that the bias may go in the other direction this time around; that the Electoral College might actually help Harris. For now, this is an outlier result, but it’s certainly an interesting scenario. A less encouraging takeaway for Harris if the Times polls are accurate is that Trump has the advantage in Georgia, Arizona, and North Carolina. Other pollsters have also typically shown Trump with a narrow edge in those states, but the Times polls may be ominous, showing him with a 3-5 point advantage in them all, just after Harris’s well-received debate performance. If those states prove out of reach for Harris, she’ll be stuck relying on Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan as her only path to victory — the same “blue wall” Hillary Clinton hoped in vain would save her in 2016. Winning them, but not the other swing states, would put Harris at the narrowest possible 270 to 268 Electoral College victory. What could go wrong?
