65 million US women of reproductive age have to decide if they want to vote away their abortion rights. Problem is, many women disagree with abortion until the get raped or endure some other experience that makes them see the world for a different angle.
Derek, Pennsylvania is a swing state with a very large Amish community. For them, abortion is a BIG NO NO, regardless of how the child was conceived. It’s also a very Christian state, again, matters not, it’s a child, with rights. It matters not what you, I or anyone else may think in the UK, Europe or the rest of the world. In their minds, nobody has the right to terminate a birth.

66% of the $200M raised for the Democrat's campaign has been donated by new doners, much of it made up of many small donations, each one likely to vote Democrats.

Kamala now challenging Trump over a TV debate that he won't commit to.
At the moment it looks like he's running scared.

I don't think it's good tactics. With Biden it was all "bring it on". Now the ony advantage of not commiting may make him seem in control, but he'll have to debate with her or he will like a wimp. Perhaps he believes the footage of him having hi ear clipped and shouting fight with the fist pump is going to see him through. Nearly being assasinated doesn't make him any better.

I see Trump has been out and about alienating a core batch of potential voters again........

Looks like the Betfair markets are also reacting, with Harris closing the gap in the Presidential market.

There is the phrase "read the room", this obviously bypassed him big style.

I've never watched a Trump interview all the way through before, just snippets shown by the media. I'm not sure if it's possible to have a female bell-end but the first questioner (lady in blue?) made a determined attempt to be one!
