First Thing Kamala Harris is making the case against Trump
Good morning. Donald Trump’s “failures in leadership” have left America “in tatters”, said Joe Biden’s new running mate, Kamala Harris, during their first joint appearance on the Democratic presidential ticket in Delaware on Wednesday night. Together, Biden and Harris said they would guide the US through the three major national crises its faces in 2020: the Covid-19 pandemic, the struggling economy and a reckoning with systemic racism. Trump, for his part, mustered a familiar insult for Harris at a White House press briefing, describing her as “nasty” for the way she grilled Brett Kavanaugh during his supreme court nomination hearing. Poppy Noor runs down some of the California senator’s best cross-examinations of powerful men – including Biden. Oakland’s mayor said Harris’s hometown was “hella proud” of her VP selection, despite reservations about her track record on criminal justice among the city’s longstanding progressive community. The veteran White House reporter Bob Woodward has obtained 25 personal letters exchanged by Trump and the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, and plans to reveal their details in Rage, his new book on the Trump administration. In one of the letters, according to Woodward’s publishers, Simon & Schuster, “Kim describes the bond between the two leaders as out of a ‘fantasy film’, as the two leaders engage in an extraordinary diplomatic minuet”. The US government has proposed changes to shower pressure standards, following the president’s repeated complaints that American bathroom fixtures are insufficient to the task of washing his hair. Trump’s border wall threatens several endangered species in multiple border states. Federal scientists warned officials of the risks to wildlife, but were repeatedly ignored by the Department of Homeland Security, according to documents seen by the Guardian.
