George Floyd’s killing wasn’t the first racial police incident to affect the presidential race in Minnesota. There was the police killing of Philando Castile a few weeks before the DNC convention in July 2016. It puts Dem candidates in a tough spot, do they defend Black men killed or side with the mobbed up police?

I look forward to your discussing Shapiro in a future post. The I-95 tanker truck crash in June 2023 looked to exacerbate the inflation crisis during the Biden presidency, but Shapiro rallied a bipartisan PA effort to build a temporary bridge and ease the bottleneck. Pocono racetrack helped with supplying fans to dry the temp pavement, it was a nice moment for a Dem leader who gets things done.
