Donald Trump is struggling to focus his campaign as Vice President Kamala Harris closes the gap in the polls. This afternoon, he re-hired his disgraced 2016 campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski. And in newly released secret video from the Centre for Climate Reporting, one of the key authors of Project 2025 revealed Trump’s involvement in the plan. “Clearly, they feel the need to misdirect voters about what they would do when they’re back in the White House to have any shot at winning this election – but they just keep getting caught,” says Chris Hayes.

The #coalition, is composed of more than 150 pro-#Palestinian, #antiwar, and #leftwing #organizations — but got less than 1,000 people to protest at the RNC Convention — say they are expecting 30,000-40,000 protestors.
