What Do Joe Biden's Poll Numbers Portend for the 2024 Mid-Terms? Also, Joe Manchin Calls for a "Strategic Pause," and Good News for Gavin Newsom in California

On Friday, Senator Joe Manchin from West Virginia once again laid claim to the title of most consequential person on Capitol Hill, as he promoted what he called a “strategic pause” in the Democratic push for a big, expensive tax bill. And in California, voters are already sending in ballots for the gubernatorial recall election scheduled for September 14.
