THE BAD NEWS IS THAT KAMALA HARRIS DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME BAGGAGE AS JOE BIDEN, BECAUSE WHATEVER WE MIGHT SAY, KAMALA HARRIS IS A LOT YOUNGER, AND KAMALA HARRIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT STRUGGLING IN THE SAME WAYS JOE BIDEN DID. VANCE, NOW QUICK TO DISMISS THEM, POINTING TO POLLS THAT SHOW THE FORMER PRESIDENT WITH THE EDGE OVER HARRIS.

TRUMP'S ATTENDANCE - STILL UNCLEAR. SOT/FOX/FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP THE ANSWER IS YES, BUT I CAN ALSO MAKE A CASE FOR NOT DOING IT.
