Largest amount in US media libel case
Harris is the most unpopular Vice President in modern history
Republicans are suddenly clear, if narrow, favourites, to win the US Senate as well as the House of Representatives.
Surely to goodness they can find, before the next election, someone else to carry the flag.
The problem, or really problems, are several.
When faced directly with a choice between a politician in Cheney who told the truth, and a politician in her opponent, Harriet Hageman, who persisted in telling Trumps lies, voters on the right deliberately and actively chose the liar.
Mr Trump, now, is Biden’s best and likely only hope at a second term.
Americans, to their very great credit, are much less tolerant of things like super high prices for fuel than Europeans are.
He’s on course to get a historic kicking.
Under President Trump, bad news for the American President was regularly amongst the top stories in Ireland. Under President Biden, who has just had one of the worst weeks in living memory for an American President, such news struggles to make it into the top twenty stories in the Irish media.
What’s remarkable about all of this is that for a man so different in tone and temperament to Donald Trump, Biden has made very similar mistakes.
We do not need polls to know that Donald Trump would be a very weak candidate against Joe Biden.
