June 30, 2022: Why the Reagan Library won't invite Trump to speak

POLITICO Playbook Daily Briefing

Some new 2024 twists for both parties:

First the Dems… VP Kamala Harris did something unusual on Wednesday afternoon: Before taking off from D.C. to California, where she will headline three fundraisers today, she went to the back of the plane to talk to the press.

White House aides told the pool reporter on board that Harris wanted to clarify some comments she made to CNN’s Dana Bash on Monday. "Joe Biden is running for reelection, and I will be his ticket mate," Harris told Bash. "Full stop."

Not quite.

The Republicans… Meanwhile, the 2024 conversation on the Republican side is being fueled by three recent Trump developments...

• His spotty record in GOP primaries this year.
• The rise of Florida Gov. RON DESANTIS.
• The devastating details about his efforts to overturn the 2020 election unearthed by the Jan. 6 committee.
