Trump leans on grievances as poll numbers decline: From the Political Desk

The latest edition of From the Politics Desk newsletter covers Donald Trump’s attempts to lay the groundwork for potential excuses if he loses the presidential election, despite many of these claims being false. Trump has been attacking election integrity and making baseless accusations against his opponents, showing insecurities and a need for attention. Meanwhile, a rift between two leading Pennsylvania Democrats, Senator John Fetterman and Governor Josh Shapiro, has become increasingly contentious and may shape the future of state politics. Fetterman’s displeasure with Shapiro has been evident at public events, creating tension between the two politicians. In other news, Republican VP nominee JD Vance and Democrat Governor Tim Walz have agreed to a debate, and Trump’s legal team is seeking to postpone his sentencing in a hush money case until after the election. Biden and Harris have unveiled agreements and proposals, including plans to lower prescription drug costs, while pro-Palestinian groups are planning demonstrations at the Democratic National Convention. Lastly, Google has detected Iranian hackers targeting both the Trump and Biden campaigns, and the NBA will not schedule games on Election Day for the third consecutive season.
