| 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. |
