Jeff’s Notes (AKA, A Brief History of the Last 24 Hours in US Politics) for August 7, 2024:

• The biggest news on the political front from yesterday was the announcement of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as VP Harris’ running mate. For an excellent rundown of who Walz is, why he was chosen, and reactions to the pick, I highly recommend the write-up at ElectoralVote: ElectoralVote (electoral-vote.com)
