Lacy Clay touted his endorsement from Kamala Harris, but he lost the primary anyway. Some Democrats fear this is another indication that Harris would not be able to help Joe Biden as much as her allies argue she would if he puts her on the ticket. https://t.co/77WY67VuWC — PolitiTweet.org

Kansas could also elect its first openly transgender lawmaker this fall after Stephanie Byers won the Democratic primary in a left-leaning Wichita district. “For me, being transgender is just another aspect of who I am,” she says. https://t.co/77WY67VuWC — PolitiTweet.org

Marshall supported Kasich in 2016. He questioned the cost of Trump's border wall in 2017 but flipped when he decideded to run for Senate. In a debate last month, Marshall said he "will always support the president’s policy on immigration." He gives Trump an A+ on handling covid. — PolitiTweet.org

Much is being made in the coverage this morning about the Kansas Senate primary being a triumph for the GOP establishment, which it is, but make no mistake: Roger Marshall transformed and remade himself to become a much more Trumpian figure to win. https://t.co/77WY67VuWC — PolitiTweet.org

Clay’s defeat underscores the deeper sea change underway in the party’s activist ranks and foreshadows some of the potential governing challenges facing Biden should he win in November. https://t.co/77WY67VuWC — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Biden, first elected to the Senate in 1972, is in many ways a throwback to a bygone era. He has described himself as a transitional figure who can help build the next generation of Democrats. Biden may have won the presidential nomination, BUT.... — PolitiTweet.org

“Y’all, we about to change the world,” Cori Bush said at the end of her victory speech after toppling a 10-term congressman in Missouri, raising a clenched fist to show the symbol of Black power. Today's 202 looks at the significance of her upset: https://t.co/77WY67VuWC — PolitiTweet.org

The South Lawn, which can be subject to intense heat and afternoon thunderstorms in late August, is one of several sites under consideration for the week of RNC festivities, including the Trump Hotel in D.C., which the president leases from the government. https://t.co/ATqn1nE4x5 — PolitiTweet.org

Quite the demotion! Brad Parscale, who was pushed out as Trump’s campaign manager last month, has been tasked with preparing videos that will be mixed in with live speeches over the four nights from Aug. 24-27. https://t.co/ATqn1nE4x5 — PolitiTweet.org

It seems increasingly clear that the Kanye “candicacy” is a dirty trick being orchestrated by several figures closely linked to the official GOP apparatus designed to siphon Black voters away from Biden who wouldn’t support Trump. Does Kanye understand he’s being used this way? — PolitiTweet.org

Irony is dead: Hours after Trump called Deborah Birx "pathetic!" on Twitter, the president attacked Nancy Pelosi for treating Birx “very, very badly" by saying she lacked confidence in her. https://t.co/U5HyEdzzpo — PolitiTweet.org

A fresh study in The Lancet warns that Britain could be hit by a second wave of the coronavirus this winter that would be 2x the initial outbreak if the country’s test and trace system does not improve substantially before schools reopen in September. https://t.co/U5HyEdzzpo — PolitiTweet.org

A new UN report says as many as 100 countries have not announced a date for schools to reopen, with >1 billion students impacted, and >40 million kids worldwide have missed out on education “in their critical preschool year.” https://t.co/U5HyEdzzpo — PolitiTweet.org

In Milwaukee, protesters made fake gravestones that said "RIP GRANDMA CAUGHT COVID HELPING GRANDKIDS WITH HOMEWORK." In Baltimore, teachers protested outside a Comcast building to demand the company provide improved Internet service for kids. https://t.co/U5HyEdzzpo — PolitiTweet.org

Protesters in at least three dozen school districts across the country, from NY & Philly in the East to L.A. in the West, took to the streets Monday in demonstrations backed by teachers’ unions to demand that science drive decisions about when & how to resume in-person learning. — PolitiTweet.org

The clash over whether to reopen schools for in-person learning has arguably transcended the debate over mask mandates to become the biggest flashpoint in the ongoing coronavirus culture wars. https://t.co/U5HyEdzzpo — PolitiTweet.org

Anthony Tata called Obama a "terrorist leader," suggested that John Brennan should prepare for execution or suck "on a pistol" and said Islam is the "most oppressive violent religion I know of." The GOP wouldn't confirm him. So Trump bypassed Senate. https://t.co/TRH9pirJKX — PolitiTweet.org

Inhofe, Armed Services chair, defends Trump's Tata move: “While I have always stressed the need to have Senate-confirmed leadership in top Pentagon positions, I believe it is within the President’s authority to appoint DoD officials when & as appropriate." https://t.co/TRH9pirJKX — PolitiTweet.org

Biden appears to lack a clear favorite in VP selection process. Field of finalists may be broader than the 3-4 we talk about all the time. Black leaders are mad that the process has become so drama-filled and has pit Black women against each other. Listen: https://t.co/cUc5sn9lnN — PolitiTweet.org
