US ports are urging the Biden administration to reconsider a proposed 25% tariff on Chinese-made cranes, arguing it will increase costs by over $130 million and hurt their competitiveness. They argue there are no alternatives to Chinese cranes and the tariff will negatively impact efficiency, capacity, and the overall economy. The ports dispute the administration's claims of security threats posed by the cranes.

Lemmy libs, why should I vote for Biden if he’s beholden to congress and the Supreme Court, the latter being unaccountable by anyone? What is his contingency plan if he loses? (hexbear.net)

A good leader always has a contingency plan in case of emergencies. But it seems that Biden and his supporters are banking on him winning, or every minority being sent to a concentration camp, and that’s all - no other vision of the future.

President Biden's lapses appear to have grown more frequent, more pronounced and, after Thursday’s debate, more worrisome, interviews with current and former White House aides, political advisers, and others who saw Biden in the last few weeks show.

The CNN poll also asked voters about potential replacements for Biden. Harris fared the best, trailing Trump by only two points, 47 percent to 45 percent, within the margin of error.

Several other prominent Democrats outperformed Biden in polling, including Govs. Gavin Newsom (Calif.) and Gretchen Whitmer (Mich.), as well as Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

The Biden campaign has quickly shut down any notion that the president would leave the 2024 race.
