    Hi Ethan!

    When I was clicking through everyones blogs and seeing what topics they had decided on, I found yours very interesting! I am looking forward to seeing how this blog develops in the twelve weeks to come. I know personally, I don't think that I could accurately represent both sides because I would be bias.

    I also realized when you posted this that I have not been keeping up as closely as I should with the up coming election. The only person who I know is running is President Trump. I am hoping that your blog with help not only keep me updated but also keep our fellow classmates updated. I am also hoping to learn something that maybe I wouldn't have known without reading your blog.

    Looking forward to it!

    Alex

While Democrats have been trying to create a case for impeachment with the Muller hearings, much of that momentum was lost without party leaderships backing. Nancy Pelosi (D) has come out in support for impeachment due to these recent revelations and has given the various investigatory committees the go-ahead for creating a case for impeachment. If you are not caught up on what is going on both with the whistleblower complaint or the Ukraine call CNN does a great job of laying out both in this article (you can also read my most recent blog post to see the full transcript (not verbatim):  https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2019/09/politics/whistleblower-complaint-annotated/ What Is Impeachment?

Current State of the 2020 Presidential Election

Current State of the 2020 Presidential Election I wanted to give an overview of the current state of the election. Here is some polling that I found and it looks like Joe Biden is leading the race. Many political commentators believe it is because of an "electability" factor, meaning he could potentially win against President Trump.  Latest Polls in Early Voting States Biden is also leading the polls among early voting states. These states are important in the political process not because of the number of electors that come from that state, but the media coverage candidates receive.  Here is a great Summary from The New York Times "Here is the latest. Sept. 6, 2019 The Democratic presidential primary is in a period of stability, though perhaps only a brief one ahead of the next debate on Thursday, Sept. 12. Joseph R. Biden Jr. remains the leading candidate, but he appears weaker now than on the day he entered the race. He has not gained...
