Notable Quote of the Day ([link removed])
“We may have forgotten the significance of recessions in part because the last three presidents (Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton) all won a second term after avoiding a recession in the latter half of their first. That allowed each of them to point to improving economic conditions and to do so plausibly and persuasively. …
At the time of Obama's re-election in 2012, it was often said that no president had been re-elected with unemployment as high as it (still) was in that year. Statistically, that was true, but the sense of upward trajectory, reflected in crucial consumer confidence numbers that fall, buoyed the incumbent.
There were signs this week that Trump is preparing to adopt a similar strategy. In this formulation, instead of downplaying the negative, the president would be cast as the leader most equipped and best positioned to turn things around.”
– Ron Elving, NPR senior editor and correspondent

JOE BIDEN ([link removed]) denied ([link removed]) allegations that he had sexually harassed or assaulted a former Senate aide, Tara Reade, in 1993. In a Medium post on Friday, he discussed his pride in the Violence Against Women Act and said that women should be heard when they bring forward allegations. Biden said none of his other former staffers have corroborated Reade’s story and that there is no record of her filing a complaint against him that year, as she has said. Biden has requested the Secretary of the Senate ask the National Archives to identify and make public any such complaint. He did not name Reade directly in the article.

BIDEN further discussed ([link removed]) the allegations in an interview on MSNBC’s _Morning Joe_ on Friday.
