I traditionally have a thread heading to the election, here we go.
Get out the popcorn for this one.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to formally announce next week he is running for president in 2024, NBC News reported Thursday, citing two sources familiar with the matter.
The governor's official entry into the Republican primary field will put him head-to-head with former President Donald Trump, the party's current frontrunner for the nomination. Trump has already spent months treating DeSantis as his primary campaign rival, thrashing him with torrents of criticism over his gubernatorial record, his political skills and his personality.

I have no idea what he said as he hadn't gone on by 9pm my time, which was 11pm on the east coast.
I'm sure I could find it, but thanks. I'm not really interested enough to bother.
I'd be willing to bet the Obamas will be in prime time tonight.
Right. That is expected. It's much easier to accept and repeat the right wing rhetoric about Biden's cognition if one just ignores all of the contradictory evidence.
Correct, the Obama's will show their support tonight. Harris has the distinct benefit of the public support of all 3 living former democratic presidents. Bush doesn't support Trump and scores of Trump's previous administration and cabinet are warning people that Trump is uniquely unfit for office.
Really, why is Trump even in talks with Israel. This is a major diplomatic and international issue but not his lane.
This kind of stuff has happened before, so we have a law which prohibits it called The Logan Act.

Trump seems to have a special relationship with our legal and judicial system, so one shouldn't expect any inquiry or consequences should laws have been broken.
Reporters are often saying things such as "sources say..." and like her "reporting says....". Axios had reported earlier that Trump had been on the phone with him so you wonder if she was talking about this?
Both Trump and Netanyahu are denying this, but like this influencer below is saying, can you trust them? Netanyahu is in the hot seat on corruption charges, and Trump lies frequently. Trump has said he wants Netanyahu to end it quickly, I.e. keep attacking and get a decisive victory without compromise. I wonder if Trump thinks a ceasefire would be a failure or a loss and he doesn't like a loser.
It should be noted however, that it is not Netanyahu that is derailing the current cease fire deal, but Hamas.

The American public and major Democrat donors disagree. And, that's why Biden was turned on and forced out.

As people might have expected, Michelle and Barack Obama delivered powerful speeches in support of candidate Harris. Barack used humor to highlight how abnormal (weird) Trump is compared to anyone but especially compared to Harris.
I'm a huge fan of the Obamas and the reception to both of them was stunning, especially Michelle. Social media is abuzz today with approval. They remain wildly popular.

By contrast, it's weird that George Bush won't campaign for the republican candidate, isn't it?

He broke with tradition and wasn't at the convention for McCain or Romney in 2008 or 2012. He apparently wants to stay out of the political limelight. Obviously he's not supporting Trump but apparently he's living up to a pledge not to criticize other Presidents.
