I remember the night Trump won the presidency. Polls had Hillary Clinton as the likely winner by some impressive margins depending on the poll, and in exit polls. Everyone from the talking heads on news networks to those of us at home were stunned when he won. So I’m not letting the polls carry much weight if they are this close.
Today’s “The Preamble” has a great article on Substack on 3rd party voting and who knows how that may have impacted the election Trump won.
Hi Gabe, I really enjoy your content, but I receive your emails a little too late in the day to incorporate them into my morning reading. I’m sure it would be challenging, but publishing a little sooner would be great for the early birds. Thanks, and keep up the good work!
The second proposal for the Supreme Court from Biden, term limits, also needs a Constitutional Amendment. The Constitution gives judges a lifetime term of service. To change the Constitution requires an amendment. Getting one through Congress would be chore enough, but two?
Biden’s proposal says 18 years of “active service” — which suggests to me they’d try to do it with an act of Congress, which would have justices take senior status (as appeals court judges can do) after 18 years, so they are still technically holding offices but not handling cases in the same way. Of course, this won’t pass Congress either (and perhaps SCOTUS would strike it down), but wouldn’t necessarily require a constitutional amendment if phrased the right way.
Thanks for including “The Day Ahead” section again.
I also like that section!

Can you add a PayPal option for paid content? Thanks
Say, can Trump just replace JD Vance after the convention has annointed him? Or, does he have to quit himself? Or..?.
