It’s hard to characterize how much the vibe of the presidential election has shifted in the past seven days.
A week ago, Trump was dominating the headlines and Biden was quarantining in Delaware. Today, Harris is nearly even in the polls and $200 million richer. Suffice it to say, the coconut and brat memes are flowing.
Like you, I’ve been trying to make sense of everything that’s happened since Biden dropped out last Sunday. The best piece I’ve read so far comes from Gabriel Debenedetti at New York Mag.
It’s the kind of article that makes you appreciate all the work journalists do put the current moment in context. Debenedetti explains how we got here, what this moment means, and what the next 100 days might look like.
If nothing else, we’re in for a wild ride.
Here’s the piece: But Can She Win?

P.S. I saw the incredibly funky Franc Moody in concert earlier today. This is their most dancey (and timely!) song. The full songs of the week playlist is here.
