The new military capability of Ukraine may allow troops to be shifted from Kharkiv, but it is unlikely to significantly change the war due to shortages of personnel and ammunition. Russian attacks on Kharkiv are seen as a diversion strategy. Meanwhile, Republican Senator Tim Scott is investing over $14 million to appeal to black voters for the 2024 election, aiming for a shift in voting patterns. Scott believes that capturing 20% of the black vote could lead to Republican victories across various levels. The focus of the investment is on swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Arizona. Polls show a decrease in black voter support for Biden compared to 2020, indicating an opportunity for Republicans. Trump is also targeting minority voters and Scott believes marketing Republican policies could secure victories in the upcoming election.
