A key problem for the Biden team and for the Democratic Party is Kamala Harris. If Biden decides to not seek a second term, it is almost certain that Vice President Harris will be the shaky nominee.

Chief William Meredith moved against Considine's practice of having girls cadge drinks from customers. Parlaying his considerable political influence, Considine managed to force Meredith's resignation.
On entering the store, the subconscious part of the customers' mind imagined that they were soon to be writing poems, reading Sartre, working on a novel, or doing mega-deals.
