The online version of From the Politics Desk, an evening newsletter by NBC News Politics team, provides the latest reporting and analysis on the campaign trail, White House, and Capitol Hill. The edition highlights the state of the advertising race in the presidential campaign with a focus on increased Republican spending in battleground states. The Trump campaign has started to close the gap on ad spending after previously leaving it to allied outside groups.
In another report by campaign embed Alex Tabet, Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego is shown leaning into border security in Arizona’s Senate race, a rare move for a Democrat. The issue of border security is playing a central role in voters’ calculations, prompting Democratic candidates to address it. Gallego’s efforts to prove himself on this issue reflect a shift in Democratic strategies to win voters’ trust.
Other top stories covered in the newsletter include primary elections in multiple states, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz defending his military record amid attacks, pressure on Trump to focus on issues over race-based attacks on Kamala Harris, efforts by Harris’ campaign to recruit volunteers, and more. The newsletter also features a deep dive into oil tycoon Harold Hamm’s involvement in financing Trump’s reelection bid.
Overall, the newsletter provides a comprehensive overview of the latest political developments, campaign strategies, and key issues shaping the 2020 presidential race.
