    Naomi Lim of the Washington Examiner highlights Democratic leaders' reactions to recent electoral developments.

  • Democrats, including Joe Biden, are trying not to jinx themselves as the political tide seems to turn against President Trump.
  • "Ignore the polls. We can't take anything for granted this November - the stakes are simply too high," Biden tweeted last week.

  • To add insult to injury, former Trump national security adviser John Bolton this week is conducting a media blitz pushing excerpts from his explosive new memoir. ...
  • ... Against the backdrop of these blows, Biden's numbers auger well for the former two-term vice president and 36-year Delaware senator, according to David Axelrod, former President Barack Obama's chief campaign strategist.
  • "In new Fox News poll, @realDonaldTrump is down 12. He trails among suburban voters by 22 points. He won them by 5 in '16. He trails among Indys by 22. He won them by 4 in '16." ...
