[Major update: Tara Reade calls on Joe Biden to drop out ... and ruins a ta=
lking point for the left.]

"Tara Reade called on former Vice President Joe Biden to drop out of the pr=
esidential race in an exclusive interview with journalist Megyn Kelly. Read=
e has accused Biden of sexually assaulting her when she worked as a Senate =
staffer in the early 1990s. The former vice president denied the allegation=
s publicly on May 1, and Reade spoke with Kelly in her first on-air intervi=
ew since Biden=E2=80=99s official denial." [Read the full story from the Da=
ily Caller. <[link removed]
thdraw-presidency-megyn-kelly/> ]

Tara Reade, who has accused Joe Biden of sexual assault, did her first on-c=
amera interview with Megyn Kelly -- and called on Biden to drop out. This n=
ews is paired with the discovery of a 1996 court document that references R=
eade's allegation of sexual harassment during her time in Sen. Biden's empl=
oyment <[link removed]
t-shows-tara-reade-told-ex-husband-of-harassment-in> .
=20
Both developments will make it even harder for the left to defend Biden, th=
ough most prominent leaders and politicians, from Hillary Clinton to AOC, h=
ave already come to his defense.
=20
Yesterday Rep. Ocasio-Cortez said she'd vote for Biden and cited that the w=
oman accusing Biden "has never explicitly said, 'don't vote for Joe Biden.'=
" We doubt she'll change her mind with this new information.
=20
Cynical political strategy or outrageous, morally indefensible double stand=
ard? We know how we'd answer.

[Democratic Senate candidates don't want to defend Biden. That's not a good=
sign for his campaign.]

"2020 Democratic candidates running for Senate have refused to acknowledge =
the sexual assault allegations against former Vice President Joe Biden that=
were brought forward by a former staffer. The Daily Caller contacted sever=
al Democrats running for Senate in key races, asking them if they would eve=
n consider the allegations by Biden=E2=80=99s accuser, Tara Reade [...] Eac=
h candidate=E2=80=99s press offices were given over 48 hours to respond and=
many were contacted multiple times but not one responded." [Read the full =
story from the Daily Caller. <[link removed]
-democratic-candidates-silent-sexual-assault-allegations-joe-biden/> ]

Given the chance to address the allegations against Joe Biden, all the Demo=
cratic Senate campaigns the Daily Caller contacted declined. Normally the p=
arty's presidential nominee rallies the base, excites voters, and is a welc=
ome addition to other party politicians' efforts on the campaign trail.
=20
But this year -- and this type of allegation -- is different, which is bad =
news for the Biden campaign.
=20
Although major party figures have defended him, Democratic politicians who =
face voters this year don't seem to want to get involved. They've likely no=
ted the under-reported challenge on the left: 26% of Democratic voters and =
40% of Democratic voters under 45 think Biden should be replaced as the pre=
sidential nominee <[link removed]
-percent-of-democrats-believe-biden-on-reade-but-25-percent-want-new> .

[Biden campaign continues to struggle to adapt to the virtual campaigning t=
hat 2020 requires.]

"Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, sequestered in his =
Delaware home with in-person campaign operations halted because of the coro=
navirus, attempted to hold a campaign rally for voters in Tampa Bay, Fla., =
on Thursday night, but the glitch-riddled event instead drew mockery from R=
epublicans and the media." [Read the full story from Fox News. <[link removed]
.foxnews.com/politics/biden-mocked-for-tech-glitches-in-virtual-tampa-campa=
ign-rally> ]

Though Biden leads in national polls right now, his campaign is struggling =
to adapt to the virtual events and fundraisers made essential by COVID-19.=
=20
=20
Obama campaign alums David Axelrod and David Plouffe noted the strategic ch=
allenges in a New York Times piece we shared with you earlier this week (yo=
u can re-read it here <[link removed]
louffe-joe-biden.html> ).
=20
But a Biden campaign rally online showed more practical concerns: bad audio=
, lots of technical glitches, and Biden beginning his remarks with, "They i=
ntroduced me? Am I on?"
=20
The Trump campaign continues to lead -- and innovate -- in online campaign =
events and videos. That could be the key to the Trump campaign success in 2=
020, especially if the Biden team continues to flounder.

[And a super PAC is pouring $10 million into ads to try to boost Joe Biden.=
]

"The $10 million effort by the pro-Biden super PAC is intended to counter T=
rump=E2=80=99s broadside against the former vice president by highlighting =
his work during the financial crisis after becoming vice president in 2009,=
including the Obama administration=E2=80=99s efforts to save the U.S. auto=
industry from collapse." [Read the full story from The Hill. <[link removed]
thehill.com/homenews/campaign/496762-pro-biden-super-pac-launches-10-millio=
n-campaign-ahead-of-democratic> ]

If the left thinks money can prop up a fundamentally flawed campaign, we'd =
point them in the direction of Michael Bloomberg.
=20
Nevertheless, a pro-Biden super PAC has announced $10 million in pro-Biden =
ads to counter the Trump campaign's attacks -- and, we presume, the widenin=
g rift in the Democratic Party's base.
=20
And, on a final note: as always, we wish for the health and safety of you, =
your family, and your community at this uncertain time. Stay safe, have a g=
reat weekend, and see you on Monday!

[The Vote]

[Major update: Tara Reade calls on Joe Biden to drop out ... and ruins a talking point for the left.]

"Tara Reade called on former Vice President Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race in an exclusive interview with journalist Megyn Kelly. Reade has accused Biden of sexually assaulting her when she worked as a Senate staffer in the early 1990s. The former vice president denied the allegations publicly on May 1, and Reade spoke with Kelly in her first on-air interview since Biden’s official denial." [Read the full story from the Daily Caller. <[link removed]> ]

Tara Reade, who has accused Joe Biden of sexual assault, did her first on-camera interview with Megyn Kelly -- and called on Biden to drop out. This news is paired with the discovery of a 1996 court document that references Reade's allegation of sexual harassment during her time in Sen. Biden's employment <[link removed]> .

Both developments will make it even harder for the left to defend Biden, though most prominent leaders and politicians, from Hillary Clinton to AOC, have already come to his defense.

Yesterday Rep. Ocasio-Cortez said she'd vote for Biden and cited that the woman accusing Biden "has never explicitly said, 'don't vote for Joe Biden.'" We doubt she'll change her mind with this new information.

Cynical political strategy or outrageous, morally indefensible double standard? We know how we'd answer.

[Democratic Senate candidates don't want to defend Biden. That's not a good sign for his campaign.]

"2020 Democratic candidates running for Senate have refused to acknowledge the sexual assault allegations against former Vice President Joe Biden that were brought forward by a former staffer. The Daily Caller contacted several Democrats running for Senate in key races, asking them if they would even consider the allegations by Biden’s accuser, Tara Reade [...] Each candidate’s press offices were given over 48 hours to respond and many were contacted multiple times but not one responded." [Read the full story from the Daily Caller. <[link removed]> ]

Given the chance to address the allegations against Joe Biden, all the Democratic Senate campaigns the Daily Caller contacted declined. Normally the party's presidential nominee rallies the base, excites voters, and is a welcome addition to other party politicians' efforts on the campaign trail.

But this year -- and this type of allegation -- is different, which is bad news for the Biden campaign.

Although major party figures have defended him, Democratic politicians who face voters this year don't seem to want to get involved. They've likely noted the under-reported challenge on the left: 26% of Democratic voters and 40% of Democratic voters under 45 think Biden should be replaced as the presidential nominee <[link removed]> .

[Biden campaign continues to struggle to adapt to the virtual campaigning that 2020 requires.]

"Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, sequestered in his Delaware home with in-person campaign operations halted because of the coronavirus, attempted to hold a campaign rally for voters in Tampa Bay, Fla., on Thursday night, but the glitch-riddled event instead drew mockery from Republicans and the media." [Read the full story from Fox News. <[link removed]> ]

Though Biden leads in national polls right now, his campaign is struggling to adapt to the virtual events and fundraisers made essential by COVID-19.

Obama campaign alums David Axelrod and David Plouffe noted the strategic challenges in a New York Times piece we shared with you earlier this week (you can re-read it here <[link removed]> ).

But a Biden campaign rally online showed more practical concerns: bad audio, lots of technical glitches, and Biden beginning his remarks with, "They introduced me? Am I on?"

The Trump campaign continues to lead -- and innovate -- in online campaign events and videos. That could be the key to the Trump campaign success in 2020, especially if the Biden team continues to flounder.

[And a super PAC is pouring $10 million into ads to try to boost Joe Biden.]

"The $10 million effort by the pro-Biden super PAC is intended to counter Trump’s broadside against the former vice president by highlighting his work during the financial crisis after becoming vice president in 2009, including the Obama administration’s efforts to save the U.S. auto industry from collapse." [Read the full story from The Hill. <[link removed]> ]

If the left thinks money can prop up a fundamentally flawed campaign, we'd point them in the direction of Michael Bloomberg.

Nevertheless, a pro-Biden super PAC has announced $10 million in pro-Biden ads to counter the Trump campaign's attacks -- and, we presume, the widening rift in the Democratic Party's base.

And, on a final note: as always, we wish for the health and safety of you, your family, and your community at this uncertain time. Stay safe, have a great weekend, and see you on Monday!
