Out-cue: changed since 1984]

TAG: Correspondent Jeremy House reporting. Labor unions argue that making striking workers eligible for benefits would not have much of an impact on the fund. Lawmakers could attempt to pass the law anyway, but it’s been decades since a governor’s veto was overruled in California.

——————————-
VERBATIM: While state lawmakers passed a bill to make California the third state to do this, Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed it over the weekend. Newsom says he rejected the bill because the fund the state uses to pay unemployment benefits is in debt. The money comes from a tax on businesses that hasn’t changed since 1984.

Democrats displeased with “Bidenomics” campaign branding

Mon, Oct 2, 2023 at 7:07 am

Democrats are increasingly unhappy with the Biden campaign’s focus on the economy. According to reports by Politico and Axios, some of President Biden’s Democratic allies are displeased with the campaign’s promotion of “Bidenomics.” They’re concerned because most Americans have a dim view of the economy and give the president low marks. One former Biden White House staffer told Axios he “never understood why you would brand an economy in your name when the economy hasn’t fully recovered yet.” GC, Wash.

Former President Trump Kicks Off Campaign Events

Sat, Jan 28, 2023 at 10:16 pm

The former President is kicking off his 2024 campaign with two stops along the East Coast. More from Correspondent Bernie Bennett.

Former President Donald Trump kicked off his 2024 White House bid with a stop Saturday in New Hampshire before heading to South Carolina, appearances in early-voting states marking the first campaign events since announcing his latest run more than two months ago.

Those states hold two of the party’s first three nominating contests, giving them enormous power in selecting the nominee.

Mr. Trump and his allies hope the events will offer a show of force behind the former president after a sluggish start to his campaign. In recent weeks, his backers have reached out to political operatives and elected officials to secure support for Mr. Trump at a critical point when other Republicans are preparing their own expected challenges.

Most Americans don’t want kids viewing pornography at school

VERBATIM: A new poll released by WPA Intelligence to the Christian Post finds 90% of registered voters say the graphic pictures and text in a book such as Maia Kobabe’s “Gender Queer” are NOT appropriate for children to be looking at in the public schools. Republicans are more likely to feel this way, but the survey indicates that more than 80% of Democrats ALSO believe that book should NOT be made available to students.
