Today’s installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.
* Barack and Michelle Obama called Vice President Kamala Harris to endorse her a couple of days ago, and they made the news official this morning.
* The latest New York Times/Siena College poll found Donald Trump leading Harris, 48% to 47%, in a head-to-head match-up. The same outlet found the Republican leading President Joe Biden by six points earlier this month. With third-party candidates added to the mix, the poll found Harris leading Trump by roughly one point. (Click the link for information on the survey’s methodology and margins of error.)
* On a related note, the same Times/Siena poll found that 87% of registered voters approved of Biden’s decision to end his 2024 candidacy. A Times report on the result added, “Mr. Biden’s move has reached a stratum of consensus that little in American public life can touch. We reviewed dozens of polls from the past few years, and it was hard to find anything that more people agreed on.”
* Speaking of polling, while one recent survey found Trump well positioned in New Hampshire, two new statewide polls in the Granite State found Harris leading the GOP candidate by six points.
* And speaking of New England, a University of New Hampshire poll also found the incumbent Democratic vice president leading Trump in Maine, 48% to 40%. (Keep clicking links for information on methodology and margins of error.)
* The Washington Post reported that Future Forward, the largest super PAC associated with Democrats’ White House efforts, “will spend $50 million on advertising in six states over the next three weeks to introduce the vice president and boost her candidacy before the Democratic nominating convention in Chicago begins.”
* On a related note, Giffords, leading national organization on preventing gun violence, is investing $15 million to help Harris specifically in battleground states.
* And while I thought I knew how to pronounce North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper’s surname, I apparently thought wrong.
