David Simon, writer of the TV show The Wire, has decided to cancel his Washington Post subscription in response to the editorial board’s decision not to endorse a candidate this election. Jeff Bezos, owner of the Post, explained that the decision was made to combat the perception of bias in traditional US media.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump held a rally in Atlanta, pledging to carry out the biggest mass deportation in US history if elected. Kamala Harris, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, struck a more optimistic tone and highlighted the frustrations of younger voters. Barack Obama joined Bruce Springsteen in Philadelphia to rally support for Harris, criticizing Trump and offering a more empathetic and experienced leadership alternative.
Sanders addressed concerns about the Biden-Harris administration’s response to Israel’s war on Gaza in a video, highlighting the importance of voting for policies that align with humanitarian aid and addressing climate change. Amid backlash, Jeff Bezos explained his decision to not endorse a candidate through the Post.
Republicans have asked the Supreme Court to weigh in on ballot-counting in Pennsylvania, potentially affecting thousands of votes in the election. The Harris campaign reported 21,000 attendees at their Ann Arbor rally, while pro-Palestine protesters briefly interrupted Harris’s speech. Obama emphasized the importance of voting for Harris, rejecting division and hatred, and focusing on a better future for America.
