"Folks, the spotlight and all the joy surrounding her is clearly driving Donald Trump just a bit crazy and he is getting desperate," [MSNBC host Michael Steele] began. "Holding an hour-long rambling press conference at Mar-a-Lago and re-agreeing to debate Harris after backing out and trying to set the terms of the debate himself." "He is getting defensive, resorting to his playbook of insults and name-calling, and rage-posting on Truth Social about crowd sizes," he continued before adding, "Here's the bottom line on all this: Team Harris is on the rise, Team Trump is flailing " I would say even flatlining."
From the sub-summary...

Lyrics excerpt...
...
Is there a fire in the sky?
Is there a moon up there?
Is there anything alive now?
This darkness is what I hear
This is a breathless silence
A moment out of time
I see your face in the shadows
The telltale signs are in your eyes
[Chorus]
More than I can hold in my hands
Running through the gaps like water
Aching with a passion inside
Deep as the river
All desire, the ashes and the fire
Turning this night inside and the light from you
...
OK, this trend is not going to help the mood of fmr Pres Trump...

... Vice President Kamala Harris leads Republican opponent Donald Trump by 4 percentage points among likely voters in each of three US battleground states, according to a survey by the New York Times and Siena College.
The Aug. 5-9 poll of 1,973 registered voters shows Harris with 50% support among the likely electorate in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan. Trump had 46% support in each state.
The numbers add to the Democratic presidential campaign's momentum just as Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, wrap up a tour of the handful of states that could make the difference in the November election. ...
Looks like the poll results are starting to leave the quagmire of the margin of error.
