Notable Quotes of the Day
“When the Republican who walks into the polls says, ‘I really don’t like Trump, but I hate to see what Biden would do instead,’ they can still cast their protest vote for [Justin] Amash. That’s why Democrats are more fearful.”

– Saul Anuzis, Republican consultant

“Speaking of home states, the one big question is what happens in Amash’s home state of Michigan. Clinton only lost it by 0.2 points. If 2020 is as close as 2016, then there is a shot that any small bump for Amash could affect the outcome of the election. Right now, though, Biden holds a significant lead in Michigan (8 points in a recent Fox News poll). Very few voters in recent Michigan polls have volunteered that they wanted a third party option. It’s plausible that would change with a named option like the congressman.”

– Harry Enten, CNN senior writer and analyst
