Doesn’t seem like a terribly successful campaign strategy.

+ In order to evade protesters and hecklers, Biden’s campaign team is scaling down the size of his events and keeping some of the times and locations of his appearances secret. As Jeet Heer said, Biden’s running as if he’s in the witness protection program. Which doesn’t seem like a terribly successful campaign strategy.
+ Kamala Harris’s speech mildly criticizing Israel’s conduct during its invasion of Gaza and calling for a temporary ceasefire to release the hostages and get into Gaza was apparently made even weaker during final edits by the White House before she delivered it near the Edmund Pettis Bridge. One Democrat strategist who worked on the Biden/Harris campaign in 2020 told NBC News: “Her hands are tied. People are not attacking her because they know that this is not her policy. This is Biden’s war. This is Biden’s failure. I think she would have asked for a cease-fire a long time ago.” Harris doesn’t have much going for her, but she does apparently have better staff than Biden, who are capable of leaking these kinds of ass-covering anecdotes to the press…
+ Biden 2020 voters support blocking arms shipments to Israel by 62%–14% majority; Trump voters oppose by 55%–30%.
