Trump's allies fear he'll blow the debate - his best chance to regain ground against HarrisPolitico | Natalie Allison | 09/08/24
The challenge is getting the former president to stick to the script.
Tuesday's debate may be former President Donald Trump's best chance to regain his footing in the presidential race.
But it's an opportunity some Republicans fear he could blow - particularly if Trump gets personal with Vice President Kamala Harris. Prominent GOP officials and his own advisers have urged Trump for weeks to keep the focus on critiquing her policy record, but the former president continues to signal that he's not interested in backing down from personal attacks.
"I assume she’ll come in very, very aggressive, and she will try to bait him, getting very angry, and she'll be personal and try to demean him," said former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. ... Read more
Trump's debate playbook: Call the rules 'rigged' and undermine the moderatorsPolitico | Alex Isenstadt and Meridith McGraw | 09/09/24
Donald Trump is laying the foundation for a "rigged" debate on ABC News before he squares off with Kamala Harris.
In interviews, fundraising appeals, rallies, and posts on social media, the former president has repeatedly blasted the host network and accused its top talent of being biased against him. He's even accused the network, without evidence, of providing the questions in advance to the Harris campaign.
"ABC is the worst network in terms of fairness," Trump said during a Fox News town hall with Sean Hannity recently. "They're very nasty, and I think a lot of people are going to be watching to see how nasty and how unfair they are."
"Do you think ABC will give Kamala every question beforehand? We already know her liberal media cronies would do ANYTHING to keep her from getting embarrassed the same way Biden was!" Trump said in a fundraising appeal. "I'm coming into this at a disadvantage - taking on Crooked Kamala AND the Fake News - but with you in my ear, I'm NOT SCARED OF ANYTHING!"" ... Read more

Robert ReichIn an interview with The New York Times in 2008, Reich explained that "I don't believe in redistribution of wealth for the sake of redistributing wealth. But I am concerned about how we can afford to pay for what we as a nation need to do [...] [Taxes should pay] for what we need in order to be safe and productive. As Oliver Wendell Holmes once wrote, 'taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society.'"
In response to a question as to what to recommend to the incoming president regarding a fair and sustainable income and wealth distribution, Reich said: "Expand the Earned Income Tax Credit—a wage supplement for lower-income people, and finance it with a higher marginal income tax on the top five percent. For the longer term, invest in education for lower income communities, starting with early-childhood education and extending all the way up to better access to post-secondary education."
Reich is pro-union, saying: "Unionization is not just good for workers in unions, unionization is very, very important for the economy overall, and would create broad benefits for the United States." Writing in 2014, he stated that he favors raising the federal minimum wage to $15/hr across three years, believing that it will not adversely impact big business, and will increase higher value worker availability.

They believe he is on their side," the senator told the America First Agenda Summit crowd on Tuesday in Washington, D.C.
