Trump did something he's never done before with RNC speech. Now, the election may already be over Donald Trump may well have sealed the outcome of the 2024 election with a performance on Thursday night in Milwaukee that has largely been unmatched in recent American political history. The former president eschewed the polarization and division that has marked much of his rhetoric in the past. In his speech officially accepting the Republican Party's nomination there were only a couple of references to the 2020 election. Trump was able to hit on key messages when speaking about topics like inflation, and especially immigration, in ways that were compelling and arguably responsive to the fundamental concerns of Americans. I say this not to engage in hyperbole, as I have never been – and am not now – a Trump supporter. But as a political analyst, you have to acknowledge reality.

A look inside, and it's glorious. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Inside the 'doom loop' of Joe Biden's campaign Washington (CNN) — Multiple leading Democrats tell CNN they feel caught in what one described as a "doom loop," with every move to keep President Joe Biden in or push him out further destroying their chances against Donald Trump. It's breaking the resolve of even staunch allies. It's feeding bad polls. It's turning off more donors. It's sustaining a media atmosphere where no matter what Biden does, he comes off looking like a failure. And for those who were hoping Biden would quit, the public and private pressure, several top Democrats worry, has been backfiring.
