     V #BBC Katty Kay:
     Three key state governors being vetted by #Harris camp:
     Andy Beshear, Kentucky gov, who's proved himself by being elected as a Democratic governor in a conservative state.

     Josh Shapiro from Pennsylvania, who could help with winning his home state.

     Roy Cooper, the governor of North Carolina, another Democrat who has done well in a conservative state.

     (Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Gavin Newsom of California and Transport Sec Pete Buttigieg has also been mentioned by pundits)

     GreenSkyOverMe (Monika) and Bill repeated this.

     Hillary Clinton had re-indorsed Kamala Harris:
     "Quote Message

     I've known Kamala Harris a long time. This brilliant prosecutor will make the case against convicted felon Donald Trump and the Project 2025 agenda to take away our freedoms."

     As a reminder from the #BBC live page,
     Trump was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records - sentencing in Sept while the judge considers a new court ruling over pres. immunity.

     #RNC co-chairs Michael Whatley and Lara #Trump stmt:

     They trust Trump will win the election "because he is the only person who will rebuild our southern border, restore our economy and secure our standing in the world.

     "Every single failure we’ve seen from Joe Biden – the Afghanistan withdrawal, a border crisis, crushing inflation, and America weakened abroad – has been delivered hand-in-hand with Kamala Harris"

     "Joe #Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me," writes Barack #Obama on X.

     "Today, we’ve also been reminded – again – that he’s a patriot of the highest order"

     Obama appointed Biden as his deputy during his time in office. But during the recent period of pressure on Biden, he reportedly joined other senior Democrats in urging him to consider his position
