Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Kamala Harris, Eric Swalwell, Rich Lowry, and more.

The BIG Lies

“As today’s jobs numbers make clear, Bidenomics is working.” —Kamala Harris

“Bidenomics means that the president and I have intended from the beginning that we’re gonna build up and build back up America’s economy.” —Kamala Harris

“President Biden and I came into office with a plan to strengthen America’s economy.” —Kamala Harris

“Everywhere I go — whether I’m in a rural town or urban town, and I’m traveling all corners of our country — people are thankful.” —Kamala Harris

“Fiscal responsibility is a priority for President Biden and me.” —Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen

Dumb & Dumber

“I think [Joe Biden is] underestimated and I believe when people go into the vote booth, they’re gonna know he’s a decent human being, he’s a patriot, he’s trying his best.” —Congressman Ro Khanna (D-CA)

“My Republican colleagues can also do a lot more … to unite with Democrats, to make unity the antidote toward these destructive attacks on the rule of law and our democracy.” —Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA)

For the Record

“In the eight years that my father was President of the United States I never once sat in the room with business associates and called him on the phone. If I had, the Democrats would have skewered me.” —Michael Reagan

Political Futures

“From the Democrats’ perspective, the ceaseless lawfare against Trump not only makes Trump more likely to be the Republican presidential nominee, but it also bleeds Trump’s coffers and physically distracts him from the campaign trail. A courtroom in New York City or Washington, D.C., after all, is not a rotary club in Des Moines or a VFW in Charleston. Republican voters can, if they so choose, avoid all this nastiness and maximize their chances of restoring civilizational sanity by nominating someone else as their presidential standard-bearer.” —Josh Hammer

“It is increasingly likely a vote for Trump in 2024 will give Biden four more years to radically transform America. … Four more years of Biden and repeated prosecutions will end not just Trump, but Trumpism. His brand of populism will be shut out by regulators, legislators and litigators. … Unfortunately, some will decide that Trump trumps everything else and it must be him or defeat. That nihilism and fatalism is exactly what Democrats hope will happen.” —Erick Erickson

“Republican voters might be open to an alternative to Trump in theory, but they don’t want anyone to criticize him. How to square that circle is the biggest challenge for the rest of the field, at least those members of it genuinely running to win.” —Rich Lowry
