Kamala Harris was expected to have fundraising trouble, but major donors are already lining up in droves, helping her campaign raise more than $200 million in its first week after Biden bowed out. Donors told us that with Harris assuming Biden’s spot at the top of the ticket, they’re now more willing to support a Democratic presidential candidate again. Some were also motivated by their desire to beat GOP nominee Donald Trump. Link below for more. 📷 Erin Scharr/The New York Times via AP https://lnkd.in/eRPbbZ4i

President Joe Biden’s summer of reversals continued in a dramatic form on Monday as he announced that he now supports sweeping Supreme Court reform – including term limits and a binding ethics code – after a long career of opposing such measures. Senior POLITICO Magazine columnist Ankush Khardori asks: Is it too little too late? After all, Biden faces a Republican-held House that won’t go anywhere near these proposals. Even when Democrats had full control of Washington in Biden’s first two years as president, the party shied away from Supreme Court reform – thanks in significant part to Biden himself. But now, despite outward appearances and a challenging political terrain, the path to reform is beginning to take shape. Based on interviews on and off the Hill, there’s rough consensus and strategy that could actually lead Dems to embrace Biden’s new strategy and act on the court – if they can win in November. Read Khardori’s latest column on how Biden’s Supreme Court reversal could actually lead to real change — link below. 📷 J. Scott Applewhite/AP https://lnkd.in/eBx4-rkZ

Joe Biden is calling for major changes to the Supreme Court today – the clearest sign yet of his deepening frustration with the court's 6-3 conservative supermajority. But the first two items would require congressional approval – and changing the immunity bit needs a constitutional amendment, which is even more difficult.

For the past few years, publishers have glumly stared at the political landscape, seeing very little opportunity to make money on political books chronicling an aging Joe Biden or his looming rematch with Donald Trump. But after a whirlwind month in politics, book industry execs are starting to see more opportunity in this election cycle.

Right-leaning think tank American Compass spent the last four years challenging the GOP’s devotion to free markets and small government. It’s triggering intense criticism from the industry’s “legacy” conservative groups and putting it in a high-stakes fight – just as it’s poised to expand its influence.
