Donald Trump's increasingly looking like the underdog in the 2020 presidential race, but his re-election is not impossible, according to Nate Silver, the well-known political statistician who runs the website FiveThirtyEight.

After delivering an emotional and and unifying message for the funeral service of George Floyd, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden pivoted to addressing the serious issues surrounding Floyd's murder at the hands of police in Minneapolis, Minn.

Sen. Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, on Tuesday called on Congress to extend the unemployment benefit in recent coronavirus stimulus legislation that gives unemployed workers an additional $600 in weekly jobless benefits.

With the US unemployment rate unexpectedly dropping to 13.3 percent, from 14.7 percent, "now is the worst possible moment to take our foot off the gas," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi advised, calling for swift Senate approval and passage into law for the HEROES Act which the House approved last month.

The issues of systemic racism and police violence which protesters have been filling American streets over since the murder of George Floyd are connected to America's long history of racial oppression and its "original sin" of slavery, but now is an opportunity to solve these problems, according to former president Barack Obama, who also reminded that the nation remains in the grip of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

It's become obvious that through his narcissism, Donald Trump's decided that he's the real victim of the novel coronavirus pandemic, according to former senator Claire McCaskill.

While some may see presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden as largely absent from online campaigning, the Biden campaign has made a strategic decision to spotlight the candidate where it shows "his best qualities," according to journalist Sam Stein.

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said that while the recovery of the US economy may be some time off, if elected president in November, the tax policy that he would support would be one which emphasizes the value of work over wealth.

The economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic will cost the United States the permanent loss of many more jobs than the nation lost in the midst of the Great Recession more than a decade ago, according to entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Andrew Yang.

Rep Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash), co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, introduced H.R. 6918, the Paycheck Recovery Act Tuesday, which would deliver working people immediate relief and certainty while aiming to match the scale of the current public health and economic crisis.
