Fox News: David Axelrod questions whether it is 'wise' for Biden to stay in 2024 race: 'Stakes...too dramatic to ignore'
Former Obama adviser David Axelrod suggested that it may be wise for President Biden to drop out of the 2024 race due to a new poll showing him losing to former President Trump in several battleground states. The poll found Trump leading Biden by 10 points in Nevada, six points in Georgia, five points in Arizona and Michigan, and four points in Pennsylvania. Axelrod questioned whether it was in the country's best interest for Biden to be the Democratic Party's nominee, considering the risk of Trump defeating him.
The poll's findings raised concerns about Biden's prospects for reelection. In addition to his age being a liability, the poll indicated that Trump was gaining support from Black voters at unprecedented levels and that a majority of voters across all income levels felt personally hurt by Biden's policies. There were warning signs that the multiracial and multigenerational coalition that backed Biden in 2020 was fracturing, with many voters believing that the country was moving in the wrong direction. Democratic strategist James Carville and other figures within the party also expressed doubts about Biden's ability to win the next election.
Fox News: Maine voters to decide on fate of state's leading electric companies
Maine residents are planning to vote on a proposal to get rid of the state's two largest electric utilities and replace them with a nonprofit utility called Pine Tree Power. The referendum, if successful, would result in the forced removal of Central Maine Power and Versant Power, with 97% of electricity distribution in the state being operated by the new utility. Supporters argue that the change would lead to lower costs, improved performance, and greater investments in the grid, while opponents worry about politicizing the power grid and the potential for lengthy litigation.

Despite the PLA's advancements, it still faces numerous challenges, including a convoluted command structure, inadequate logistics, and a lack of combat experience. The PLA's vulnerabilities must be carefully considered as the world assesses China's military power and potential threats.

Flag And Cross: BMW Says Tesla 'Needs To Close The Gap With Us' As German Auto Giant Touts Battery Design Superiority

The Federalist: Proponents Of Ohio's Issue 1 Know Full Well Abortion's Inhumanity
The pro-life movement in Ohio fights for the humanity of the unborn, passing legislation to protect them. Ohio was the first state to ban partial-birth abortion in 1995 and has since passed other protective laws. These include restrictions on abortion after viability or when the unborn child can feel pain, as well as fetal homicide and Born Alive Acts. Women seeking abortion must receive information about their unborn child. Issue 1, however, disregards the humanity of the fetus and subordinates it to the mother's will, stripping away the humanity of both the unborn and ourselves.
