Deep dives
The Republican candidates debate
The Republican candidates, including Mike Pence, Vivek Rama Swami, Chris Christie, Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Tim Scott, and Doug Bergman, participated in a debate. Vivek Rama Swami made insightful points about the mental health epidemic and called out Mike Pence's denial of it. Ron DeSantis promised to never allow another COVID lockdown. Chris Christie criticized Donald Trump, while Nikki Haley quoted Margaret Thatcher. Overall, Vivek and Ron DeSantis stood out among the candidates.
The lack of Democratic debates
Joe Biden has been challenged by Kennedy and Marianne Williamson, but there are no scheduled Democratic debates. This denies challengers the chance to engage in a democratic process and presents a lack of transparency and choice for voters.
The upcoming hurricane
There is a hurricane approaching the Tampa Bay area in Florida. It is expected to be a Category 1 hurricane with 70-80 mph winds. While Floridians are accustomed to hurricanes, preparations are being made and the situation is being monitored.
