MNI POLITICAL RISK - Harris Targets Moderate Republicans

Daily round-up of news from the US.

Executive summary:

  • Vice President Kamala Harris will deliver remarks in Wisconsin today alongside former GOP House Rep Liz Cheney at the site of the Republican Party's founding. Former President Donald Trump will be nearby in Michigan for a rally.
  • Department of Justice Special Council Jack Smith, the man prosecuting Trump in two federal cases, unsealed a cache of evidence from his investigations yesterday. As the January 6 case, originally set to go to trial before the presidential election, is certain to be quashed if Trump wins the presidency, the primary question regarding the evidence disclosure is to what extent it will impact the next month of general election campaigning.
  • President Biden told reporters yesterday that he would not back Israel in taking retaliatory action against Iran’s nuclear sites. However, the administration appears willing to support Israel in a more severe military response than the one that followed Iran’s April attack.
  • President Biden urged USMX and the International Longshoremen's Association union to, “sit at the table and get this strike done.”
  • Poll of the Day:Trump's advantage has slipped on his two strongest issues — inflation and immigration.
