[The Vote]

Happy Friday! Here's what's ahead in The Vote:

=E2=80=A2 Sanders' promise for "the day after Biden is elected"
=E2=80=A2 who Joe Biden wants to put in a Biden Administration
=E2=80=A2 updates from the Postmaster General's testimony to the Senate
=E2=80=A2 what's ahead with the Republican National Convention next week

[Sanders: "The day after Biden is elected, we're going to have a serious de=
bate about the future of this country."]

"'We=E2=80=99re going to come together to defeat Trump,' Sanders told The D=
aily Show host Trevor Noah on Friday. 'And the day after Biden is elected, =
we=E2=80=99re going to have a serious debate about the future of this count=
ry, but it will be done within the framework of a democratic society.'" (Th=
e Hill <[link removed]
ter-bidens-elected-were-going-to-have-a-serious-debate> )

Read the story from The Hill <[link removed]
091-sanders-the-day-after-bidens-elected-were-going-to-have-a-serious-debat=
e>

=E2=80=A2 What's happening: Sometimes politicians tell the truth. In this =
case, it seems like Bernie Sanders did on The Daily Show as he explained hi=
s plan to "come together" against President Trump on November 3rd ... and t=
hen start pushing the country to the extreme left on November 4th, the day =
after the election.
=20
Or, put another way: Biden and the Democrats hid the goals of their radica=
l leftist base and the powerful progressive wing. Then Sanders said it all =
in a TV interview anyway.
=20
Behind the scenes, though, the progressives are running the future of the =
Democratic Party. Consider just a few stories from recent weeks:
=20
-- progressives won big in primaries, unseating a long-time Democratic rep=
and committee chair, and the "Squad" kept their seats <[link removed]
o.com/news/2020/06/24/progressives-primary-justice-democrats-338488>
=20
-- progressive leaders like a Sanders campaign co-chair have openly critic=
ized Biden with quite sharp language <[link removed]
-campaign-co-chair-100703240.html>
=20
-- a progressive "Squad" member voted against the party platform <[link removed]
www.thehill.com/homenews/campaign/512202-tlaib-votes-no-on-democratic-party=
-platform>
=20
It's likely that the Republican National Convention will connect these dot=
s for the American public next week as the mainstream media certainly won't=
.
=20
=E2=80=A2 What else to know: Check out this piece from National Review on =
Biden's speech ... and what it means that there was zero discussion of actu=
al policy issues. <[link removed]

[Who would serve in a Biden Administration? Progressives, progressives, and=
more progressives.]

"Biden=E2=80=99s White House and his Cabinet would likely lean on his conne=
ctions from the Obama administration, including institutionalists who are p=
alatable to centrist Democrats. But in the same way Biden shifted left on p=
olicy in recent months in response to the pandemic, he is also taking advic=
e from the progressive wing of the party." (POLITICO <[link removed]

=E2=80=A2 What's happening: Presidential candidates begin thinking about t=
heir potential future Administrations far in advance, and Joe Biden is no e=
xception. According to POLITICO, here are the potential picks for various d=
epartments right now <[link removed]
binet-picks-397905> :
=20
-- State: Susan Rice
=20
-- Treasury: Elizabeth Warren
=20
-- Transportation or Housing & Urban Development (HUD): LA Mayor Eric Garc=
etti
=20
-- Health & Human Services or HUD: Rep. Karen Bass
=20
-- Veterans Affairs or Ambassador: Pete Buttigieg
=20
=E2=80=A2 What's at stake: While Biden presented himself as a centrist at =
this week's Democratic convention, it's clear that he means to govern as a =
progressive.
=20
Aside from Susan Rice -- a highly controversial figure from the Obama Admi=
nistration -- it's a "who's who" list of progressive leaders, especially wi=
th Elizabeth Warren potentially placed at the Treasury Department.
=20
=E2=80=A2 What else to know: According to the same POLITICO piece, Biden i=
s considering adding a new position for "climate" issues <[link removed]
ico.com/news/2020/08/21/joe-biden-cabinet-picks-397905> -- though it's not =
clear where that role would fall or who would take it on.

[What happened at the Postmaster General's testimony before the Senate this=
morning.]

"Postmaster General Louis DeJoy aimed to reassure Democrats and Americans w=
ho are concerned that the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) may not be able to del=
iver their mail-in ballots on time for the Nov. 3 election amid swirling co=
ntroversy over the security of mail-in voting and changes that DeJoy has ma=
de in his short tenure as postmaster general." (Fox News <[link removed]
ws.com/politics/senate-postmaster-general-hearing> )

stmaster-general-hearing>

=E2=80=A2 What's happening: In his testimony before the Senate Homeland Se=
curity and Government Affairs Committee, the Postmaster General promised th=
at Americans' election mail would be "on time" and repeated that he would n=
ot make any more operational changes.
=20
In other words: it went as expected, and the Postmaster General repeated t=
he same news he has shared all week with the American people.
=20
=E2=80=A2 What's at stake: No matter what the Postmaster General said, we =
presume it wouldn't be enough for the left and Democratic leadership.
=20
They want to personally vilify him, though what really makes them mad is t=
he simple fact that he supported President Trump and other Republican candi=
dates as a private citizen.
=20
The case that Democrats are making about the Postal Service is bizarre upo=
n closer examination.
=20
(1) As House GOP leaders noted, the U.S. Postal Service's streamlining pla=
n started in 2011, under the Obama Administration. The Obama Administration=
removed "thousands" of mailboxes without a complaint from Democrats. <http=
s://www.foxnews.com/politics/postal-service-flashback-obama-admin-removed-t=
housands-of-mailboxes>
=20
(2) The Democrats' last-minute legislation for the U.S. Postal Service wil=
l reportedly stop the Postal Service form making changes that weren't in pl=
ace on January 1, 2020.
=20
So Democrats want the American people to believe that President Trump is (=
1) simultaneously "destroying" the postal service and (2) the solution is t=
o roll back to previous Trump Administration policies from January.
=20
It's almost like it's not about President Trump or his Administration at a=
ll!
=20
(3) Here's a good overview of what's happening on this issue:
=20
-- debunking 10 myths about the U.S. Postal Service (The Daily Signal) <ht=
tps://www.dailysignal.com/2020/08/18/fact-check-debunking-10-myths-about-th=
e-us-postal-service/>
=20
-- 6 myths about the Postal Service and the election debunked (The Federal=
ist) <[link removed]
vice-and-the-election-debunked/>
=20
-- what's really going on with the U.S. Postal Service (The Daily Signal) =
<[link removed]
ostal-service/>
=20
Bottom line: we think that the left has had a difficult time re-writing vo=
te-by-mail rules through the courts (remember: last month a Democratic supe=
r PAC dropped its challenge in Florida), so now they are the ones trying to=
"politicize" the U.S. Postal Service.
=20
=E2=80=A2 What else to know: Leadership of the U.S. Postal Service, includ=
ing the Postmaster General, were "doxxed," which means their personal conta=
ct information was published online. The Postmaster General also had protes=
tors came to his home.
=20
In response, the House GOP leaders published their letter to Speaker Nancy=
Pelosi and Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney of the House Committee on Oversight =
and Government Reform. You can read it for yourself here. <[link removed]

[The Republican National Convention starts next week, and President Trump w=
ill be there.]

"President Donald Trump is expected to stop by the Republican National Conv=
ention site during a trip to North Carolina on Monday, according to a Repub=
lican close to the Trump campaign. The president also plans to make an appe=
arance on each of the four days of the convention, the Republican said, whi=
ch will take place Aug. 24-27." (POLITICO <[link removed]

=E2=80=A2 What's happening: The Republican National Committee chair said i=
n an interview that President Trump will be at the GOP convention every day=
next week -- though she wouldn't confirm when, adding "everybody's got to =
tune in."
=20
The four-day convention starts this coming Monday and will run through nex=
t Thursday night, when the President will accept the nomination.
=20
=E2=80=A2 What's at stake: Next week the American people will watch as Pre=
sident Trump lays out the case for his re-election -- and the main argument=
s against Joe Biden's campaign.
=20
Based on the campaign's "counter-programming" to the Democratic committee =
this week, we expect he will try to connect Biden's policy goals to the pro=
gressive left wing.

[The Vote]

Happy Friday! Here's what's ahead in The Vote:

• Sanders' promise for "the day after Biden is elected"
• who Joe Biden wants to put in a Biden Administration
• updates from the Postmaster General's testimony to the Senate
• what's ahead with the Republican National Convention next week

[Sanders: "The day after Biden is elected, we're going to have a serious debate about the future of this country."]

"'We’re going to come together to defeat Trump,' Sanders told The Daily Show host Trevor Noah on Friday. 'And the day after Biden is elected, we’re going to have a serious debate about the future of this country, but it will be done within the framework of a democratic society.'" (The Hill <[link removed]> )

Read the story from The Hill <[link removed]>

• What's happening: Sometimes politicians tell the truth. In this case, it seems like Bernie Sanders did on The Daily Show as he explained his plan to "come together" against President Trump on November 3rd ... and then start pushing the country to the extreme left on November 4th, the day after the election.

Or, put another way: Biden and the Democrats hid the goals of their radical leftist base and the powerful progressive wing. Then Sanders said it all in a TV interview anyway.

Behind the scenes, though, the progressives are running the future of the Democratic Party. Consider just a few stories from recent weeks:

-- progressives won big in primaries, unseating a long-time Democratic rep and committee chair, and the "Squad" kept their seats <[link removed]>

-- progressive leaders like a Sanders campaign co-chair have openly criticized Biden with quite sharp language <[link removed]>

-- a progressive "Squad" member voted against the party platform <[link removed]>

It's likely that the Republican National Convention will connect these dots for the American public next week as the mainstream media certainly won't.

• What else to know: Check out this piece from National Review on Biden's speech ... and what it means that there was zero discussion of actual policy issues. <[link removed]>

[Who would serve in a Biden Administration? Progressives, progressives, and more progressives.]

"Biden’s White House and his Cabinet would likely lean on his connections from the Obama administration, including institutionalists who are palatable to centrist Democrats. But in the same way Biden shifted left on policy in recent months in response to the pandemic, he is also taking advice from the progressive wing of the party." (POLITICO <[link removed]> )

Read the full story on POLITICO <[link removed]>

• What's happening: Presidential candidates begin thinking about their potential future Administrations far in advance, and Joe Biden is no exception. According to POLITICO, here are the potential picks for various departments right now <[link removed]> :

-- State: Susan Rice

-- Treasury: Elizabeth Warren

-- Transportation or Housing & Urban Development (HUD): LA Mayor Eric Garcetti

-- Health & Human Services or HUD: Rep. Karen Bass

-- Veterans Affairs or Ambassador: Pete Buttigieg

• What's at stake: While Biden presented himself as a centrist at this week's Democratic convention, it's clear that he means to govern as a progressive.

Aside from Susan Rice -- a highly controversial figure from the Obama Administration -- it's a "who's who" list of progressive leaders, especially with Elizabeth Warren potentially placed at the Treasury Department.

• What else to know: According to the same POLITICO piece, Biden is considering adding a new position for "climate" issues <[link removed]> -- though it's not clear where that role would fall or who would take it on.

[What happened at the Postmaster General's testimony before the Senate this morning.]

"Postmaster General Louis DeJoy aimed to reassure Democrats and Americans who are concerned that the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) may not be able to deliver their mail-in ballots on time for the Nov. 3 election amid swirling controversy over the security of mail-in voting and changes that DeJoy has made in his short tenure as postmaster general." (Fox News <[link removed]> )

Read the full story on Fox News <[link removed]>

• What's happening: In his testimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, the Postmaster General promised that Americans' election mail would be "on time" and repeated that he would not make any more operational changes.

In other words: it went as expected, and the Postmaster General repeated the same news he has shared all week with the American people.

• What's at stake: No matter what the Postmaster General said, we presume it wouldn't be enough for the left and Democratic leadership.

They want to personally vilify him, though what really makes them mad is the simple fact that he supported President Trump and other Republican candidates as a private citizen.

The case that Democrats are making about the Postal Service is bizarre upon closer examination.

(1) As House GOP leaders noted, the U.S. Postal Service's streamlining plan started in 2011, under the Obama Administration. The Obama Administration removed "thousands" of mailboxes without a complaint from Democrats. <[link removed]>

(2) The Democrats' last-minute legislation for the U.S. Postal Service will reportedly stop the Postal Service form making changes that weren't in place on January 1, 2020.

So Democrats want the American people to believe that President Trump is (1) simultaneously "destroying" the postal service and (2) the solution is to roll back to previous Trump Administration policies from January.

It's almost like it's not about President Trump or his Administration at all!

-- what's really going on with the U.S. Postal Service (The Daily Signal) <[link removed]>

Bottom line: we think that the left has had a difficult time re-writing vote-by-mail rules through the courts (remember: last month a Democratic super PAC dropped its challenge in Florida), so now they are the ones trying to "politicize" the U.S. Postal Service.

• What else to know: Leadership of the U.S. Postal Service, including the Postmaster General, were "doxxed," which means their personal contact information was published online. The Postmaster General also had protestors came to his home.

In response, the House GOP leaders published their letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. You can read it for yourself here. <[link removed]>

[The Republican National Convention starts next week, and President Trump will be there.]

"President Donald Trump is expected to stop by the Republican National Convention site during a trip to North Carolina on Monday, according to a Republican close to the Trump campaign. The president also plans to make an appearance on each of the four days of the convention, the Republican said, which will take place Aug. 24-27." (POLITICO <[link removed]> )

• What's happening: The Republican National Committee chair said in an interview that President Trump will be at the GOP convention every day next week -- though she wouldn't confirm when, adding "everybody's got to tune in."

The four-day convention starts this coming Monday and will run through next Thursday night, when the President will accept the nomination.

• What's at stake: Next week the American people will watch as President Trump lays out the case for his re-election -- and the main arguments against Joe Biden's campaign.

Based on the campaign's "counter-programming" to the Democratic committee this week, we expect he will try to connect Biden's policy goals to the progressive left wing.
