Notable Quote of the Day ([link removed])

“One thing we can say for sure is that something has changed in the race in the wake of Sanders' heart attack. The burden of proof has now shifted directly to Sanders and, to a slightly lesser extent, Biden and Warren. Rather than their opponents needing to find some non-tacky way to raise the age question, that trio now has to find ways to address voter concerns about it. Which is a subtle but important shift -- particularly given that it is very hard to ask questions about whether candidates are too old without getting major blowback.”

—Chris Cillizza, CNN
