Joe Biden pledges to "transform" America if elected.

"Joe Biden tweeted Sunday night that if he gets elected, his administration 'won’t just rebuild this nation — we’ll transform it,' raising speculation online about what exactly in the country will be transformed." (Fox News)

Joe Biden pledged that he would "transform" America ... which has led some to ask what exactly he means. Though Biden has tried to frame himself as a moderate candidate, his policies have been drawn from the far left, like:

-- Democratic National Committee's $16 trillion climate plan (Reuters)

-- the "most expensive Democratic tax plan that we've seen from any Democratic candidate in recent history" (Washington Free Beacon)

-- and more

Supreme Court reins in "faithless electors" ahead of 2020 presidential race.

"The matter came to the Supreme Court when 'faithless' electors bizarrely refused to vote for Clinton as a protest against Trump’s apparent victory. The state of Washington fined each $1,000 for failing to adhere to the wishes of their voters. The Supreme Court not only upheld this fine, it also approved alternate means of ensuring electors would not overrule their voters." (The Federalist)

Electors are tasked with casting an Electoral College ballot for a candidate they've pledged to -- and that aligns with the state or district's election results.

"Faithless" electors are those who break the pledge (and ignore the voters) to cast a ballot for their own personal preference, and the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that faithless electors can be reined in.

As The Federalist reported, the case that went before the Supreme Court has its roots in left-wing opposition to President Trump's election in 2016. Check out the full background here.

Two Republican senators have now announced they won't attend the Republican National Convention.

"Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) said on Tuesday that he will not attend his party's national convention next month, becoming the second GOP senator to announce they will skip the event. " (The Hill)

Sen. Chuck Grassley (IA) and Sen. Lamar Alexander (TN) announced this week that they will not attend the Republican National Convention.

Sen. Grassley said it was due to his concerns about COVID-19; Sen. Alexander released a broad statement about making delegate spots available for first-time convention-goers.

As The Hill reported, Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio has also expressed concerns about attendance.

Democrats have already announced their delegates won't attend in-person at their rescheduled August convention.

And with the conventions just over a month out, here are the Republican National Convention plans.

"Erin Isaac, the spokesperson for the host committee of the portion of the convention that will take place in Jacksonville, confirmed Monday that 'everyone attending the convention within the perimeter will be tested and temperature checked each day,' CNN reported."  (The Hill)

The Republican National Convention will split events between North Carolina, the original host, and Florida, the newly rescheduled location for President Trump's acceptance speech.

And in addition to normal convention prep -- no small feat! -- the Republican Party is now adding COVID-19 response to its to-do list.

The convention will reportedly complete daily temperature checks and COVID-19 tests of attendees as well as follow sanitation protocols and make PPE available to attendees.
