• Reuters notes: "The campaign's strategy previously was to focus on tough criticism of Trump as a threat to U.S. democracy and to highlight his failure to admit his 2020 election loss and his felony convictions. Now, it is trying to calibrate a less pugilistic message that still strikes a stark comparison."
• The New York Times notes: "In a direct appeal to Nevadans, Mr. Biden also said his administration would repurpose federally owned land that officials deem unused or underused to create 15,000 affordable housing units in Nevada, a state where the president is trailing Mr. Trump and voters have been especially frustrated over housing costs. Executing that proposal would not require congressional approval."
