Sometimes, you get a perfect rundown of what is really going on in the world. As regards Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, this is one of the best early analyses of this pair of Presidential candidates. In fact, it is probably most accurate to say precisely that: This is a pair of presidential candidates, not a Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidate team.
Joe Biden has the first name on the ticket, but Kamala Harris, a Senator who didn’t make a decent showing in any Democrat primary, is being treated more like the presidential candidate than he is.

Dr. Steve Turley offers some very interesting analysis around the announcement on August 11th, that Russia has a new registered COVID-19 / Coronavirus vaccine. Named Sputnik V, the Russia vaccine is understood to be “simpler” than the six candidates nearing release by the US, but it also helps put President Trump and his efforts at combating the virus front and center. This appears to be a major detriment to Senator Joe Biden’s campaign.
