Happy Saturday. ☕️

Below are the top news stories from around the country - handpicked for
you this week by the editors at the Free Telegraph! A new video in
Louisiana highlights one very inconvenient truth for Democrat Gov. John
Bel Edwards (watch it to find out what that is!). Meanwhile, Democrat
Governor and ex-2020 candidate Jay Inslee is settling for a third run
for governor. We'll see how voters feel about that! And a new poll has
some worrisome news for Vice President Joe Biden. Read more below!

New Video in Louisiana Governor's Race, "On His Watch"

What Happened:

The Republican Governors Association released a new video in Louisiana
highlighting the state's bleak job creation and economic record under
its current governor, Democrat John Bel Edwards.

Why You Should Care:

Gov. Edwards' re-election campaign is desperately trying to spin the
numbers to make them not look as bad, but the facts are clear: he's
responsible for one of the worst economies in America. It's his
inconvenient truth to bear.

What Happens Next:

Gov. Edwards needs to explain how his tax-and-spend policies are NOT to
blame for Louisiana's failing economy.

Washington State A Consolation Prize To Failed Presidential Candidate
Jay Inslee

What Happened:

Democrat Gov. Jay Inslee surprised...exactly no one when he dropped out
of the 2020 presidential race last week. But how Washington voters feel
about being his consolation prize is another story.

Why You Should Care:

It wasn't so long ago (literally) that Jay Inslee wasn't interested
in the job of governor. His reversal suggests he's in this business
more for his own personal gain - and less because he cares about the
people of Washington.

What Happens Next:

Washington voters - who for months have taken a backseat to his
presidential campaign - will have to decide how they feel about
Inslee's decision to settle for a third term as governor.

Joe Biden Slips In New Poll

What Happened:

A new poll from Monmouth University shows former Vice President Joe
Biden's support in the 2020 Democratic primary is slipping. In June,
the same poll had him at 32 percent - now it's down to 19 percent.

Why You Should Care:

For months we've been told Democratic voters only care about who can
beat Donald Trump. But Biden's slip - and the rise of progressive
candidates Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren - signal that Democratic
voters are increasingly comfortable with hard-left, radical views.

What Happens Next:

We wait and see if this is just a blip for Biden - or a trend.
