MNI POLITICAL RISK - Harris Courts Organised Labour

US
  • The presidential election campaign calendar is relatively sparse this week. Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to New Hampshire for a campaign stop tomorrow before returning to Pennsylvania on Thursday. Former President Donald Trump has nothing on his public schedule until a rally in Wisconsin on Saturday.
  • Vice President Harris and President Biden made their first joint appearance since the Democratic National Convention, speaking at a Labor Day rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where Biden sought to transfer some of his ‘Scranton Joe’ political capital to Harris: “I have no problem walking a picket line, nor does Kamala."
  • Harris used the event to align with Biden’s and Trump's opposition to a proposed purchase of US Steel by Japanese giant Nippon Steel: “I couldn’t agree more with President Biden. U.S. Steel should remain American-owned and American-operated. And I will always have the backs of American steelworkers.”
  • Democratic appropriators have rejected House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) reported short-term government funding plan.
  • The prospect of a Gaza ceasefire-for-hostage deal looks increasingly remote after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doubled down on his plan to keep IDF forces stationed in the Philadelphi Corridor.
  • The United States is taking steps to apply pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro for failing to meet the directives of the 2023 Barbados Agreement.
  • Poll of the Day: Harris has "gone a long way" towards repairing the fractured Democratic coalition that elected President Biden in 2020.
