"content": "\u003cp>Former President Donald Trump will walk onto the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101906373/gop-spirits-high-as-republican-national-convention-enters-final-stretch\">Republican National Convention\u003c/a> stage on Thursday night to accept his third consecutive presidential nomination and give his first televised speech since narrowly escaping bullets from a would-be assassin less than a week ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Milwaukee arena, full of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11995910/this-east-bay-elected-official-is-a-delegate-at-the-republican-national-convention\">loyal party delegates\u003c/a> and MAGA die-hards, will give him an emotional and thunderous greeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for those watching at home, here are six things to look for.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>1. Is there a kinder, gentler Donald Trump?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Following Saturday’s shocking \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11996066/why-conspiracy-theories-spread-on-the-left-and-right-after-the-assassination-attempt-on-trump\">attempt on Trump’s life\u003c/a> in Pennsylvania, the former First Lady Melania Trump sent out an uncharacteristically soft message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are all humans and fundamentally want to help each other. American politics are only one vehicle to uplift our communities. Love, compassion, kindness and empathy are necessities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/presidential/3082180/trump-rewrites-republican-convention-speech-focus-unity-not-biden/\">Trump told\u003c/a> the \u003cem>Washington Examiner\u003c/em> he \u003cem>was\u003c/em> going to give a “humdinger” of a speech attacking President Joe Biden — until the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Honestly,” he said, “it’s going to be a whole different speech now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether Trump — whose inaugural address in 2017 ignored the tradition of giving inspirational, unifying speeches — is able to resist the temptation to attack Democrats will be among the biggest questions answered on Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>2. Preview of attacking Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The chances of Biden being replaced on the ticket increased with Wednesday’s COVID-19 diagnosis and the mounting discontent from fellow Democrats, who are terrified that he will lead them to political ruin up and down the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Vice President Kamala Harris a likely replacement, Republicans, including Trump, have been ratcheting up criticisms of her. One common refrain now is that she participated in “gaslighting” the American people by vouching for Biden’s mental acuity when she must have known better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also refer to her as Biden’s “border czar,” an attempt to tie her to the at-times overwhelming flow of migrants seeking asylum. (That was never her portfolio, although the president asked her to visit Central American countries to try to improve the underlying conditions that have led so many residents to make the treacherous journey north.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Look for how much time Trump spends on Harris versus Biden on Thursday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One other thing: How will the former president pronounce Harris’ first name? Republicans can’t seem to say it correctly, consistently misplacing the emphasis on the second syllable (kah-\u003cem>MA\u003c/em>-luh vs. \u003cem>KAH\u003c/em>-muh-luh).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a clear sign of disrespect and a crude way of calling attention to her name, which means “lotus” in Sanskrit, a nod to her Indian American mother. Deliberately mangling her name is clearly part of an effort to make her seem “un-American,” a tactic similar to one employed by Trump against President Barack Obama.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>3. How much time will Trump devote to the virtues of Sen. J.D. Vance?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Trump is famously focused on himself, asserting a conveyor belt of superlatives about every aspect of life, from his business ventures to his personal health and his golf game. He \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11994136/california-republicans-applaud-trumps-vp-pick-of-jd-vance-at-national-convention\">chose Vance\u003c/a>, so obviously, he thinks Ohio’s junior senator can help him win. But will he spend more time talking about Vance’s virtues or his own brilliance in making the pick?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Vance sat in the president’s box on Monday night, there was very little visible chemistry between them. When their families come out on stage after Trump speaks — assuming Vance is afforded that opportunity — will they seem like a genuine team or just two guys running together on the same ticket?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>4. How will he frame crime, immigration and border security?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the past, Trump has used extremely harsh language describing people who cross the border to seek asylum or sneak across without proper documents. After becoming president in 2017, he immediately issued a ban on entry from several Muslim-majority countries before the courts struck it down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He blames “illegal aliens” for taking jobs from U.S. citizens and committing heinous crimes, even saying in December that they’re “poisoning the blood of our country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this convention, Republicans have tried to center people of color and immigrant families in an apparent effort to soften the harsh edges of the GOP created by Trump’s rhetoric. But many on the arena floor waved signs reading “Mass deportations now!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Will Trump tone that down Thursday night, or just continue with more of the same?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>5. Will the word abortion pass his lips?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Past Republican platforms have used extreme language to describe abortion and declare the rights of unborn children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, recognizing the political liability of such positions, successfully shortened and toned down the abortion issue, removing calls for a national ban on abortions and inserting a “let the states decide” position, as well as adding support for IVF treatments and opposition to late-term abortions, which are exceedingly rare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the course of his life, Trump has gone from supporting abortion rights to promising to appoint Supreme Court justices that would overturn the Roe v. Wade decision granting the nationwide right to an abortion to now saying he opposes a national ban of any kind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His base largely accepted this watered-down stance, but it will be interesting to see how much time he devotes to the issue or whether he mentions it at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>6. Still a dictator on day one?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In an interview with Fox News a few months ago, host Sean Hannity asked Trump whether, as his critics alleged, Trump would be a dictator if he regained the White House. He responded that he would not be a dictator, except on his first day in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to close the border, and I want to drill, drill, drill,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2023/12/05/trump-dictator-day-one-00130310\">Trump said\u003c/a>. “Other than that, I am not a dictator.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats pounced on that comment, saying it was proof that Trump had authoritarian instincts and could not be trusted to return to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those allegations have been underscored by \u003ca href=\"https://www.project2025.org/\">Project 2025\u003c/a>, the 900-plus page manifesto issued by the conservative Heritage Foundation and written by many former Trump staffers and allies. It calls for specific steps the former president could take upon returning to power, from mass deportations of undocumented immigrants to undoing climate change and green energy initiatives and politicizing the Department of Justice to go after political enemies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether Trump leans into or avoids policy promises like those will be interesting to watch.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Is there a kinder, gentler Donald Trump?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Following Saturday’s shocking \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11996066/why-conspiracy-theories-spread-on-the-left-and-right-after-the-assassination-attempt-on-trump\">attempt on Trump’s life\u003c/a> in Pennsylvania, the former First Lady Melania Trump sent out an uncharacteristically soft message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are all humans and fundamentally want to help each other.

Preview of attacking Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The chances of Biden being replaced on the ticket increased with Wednesday’s COVID-19 diagnosis and the mounting discontent from fellow Democrats, who are terrified that he will lead them to political ruin up and down the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Vice President Kamala Harris a likely replacement, Republicans, including Trump, have been ratcheting up criticisms of her. One common refrain now is that she participated in “gaslighting” the American people by vouching for Biden’s mental acuity when she must have known better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also refer to her as Biden’s “border czar,” an attempt to tie her to the at-times overwhelming flow of migrants seeking asylum. (That was never her portfolio, although the president asked her to visit Central American countries to try to improve the underlying conditions that have led so many residents to make the treacherous journey north.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Look for how much time Trump spends on Harris versus Biden on Thursday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One other thing: How will the former president pronounce Harris’ first name? Republicans can’t seem to say it correctly, consistently misplacing the emphasis on the second syllable (kah-\u003cem>MA\u003c/em>-luh vs. \u003cem>KAH\u003c/em>-muh-luh).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a clear sign of disrespect and a crude way of calling attention to her name, which means “lotus” in Sanskrit, a nod to her Indian American mother. Deliberately mangling her name is clearly part of an effort to make her seem “un-American,” a tactic similar to one employed by Trump against President Barack Obama.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>3. How much time will Trump devote to the virtues of Sen. J.D. Vance?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Trump is famously focused on himself, asserting a conveyor belt of superlatives about every aspect of life, from his business ventures to his personal health and his golf game. He \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11994136/california-republicans-applaud-trumps-vp-pick-of-jd-vance-at-national-convention\">chose Vance\u003c/a>, so obviously, he thinks Ohio’s junior senator can help him win. But will he spend more time talking about Vance’s virtues or his own brilliance in making the pick?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Vance sat in the president’s box on Monday night, there was very little visible chemistry between them. When their families come out on stage after Trump speaks — assuming Vance is afforded that opportunity — will they seem like a genuine team or just two guys running together on the same ticket?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>4. How will he frame crime, immigration and border security?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the past, Trump has used extremely harsh language describing people who cross the border to seek asylum or sneak across without proper documents. After becoming president in 2017, he immediately issued a ban on entry from several Muslim-majority countries before the courts struck it down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He blames “illegal aliens” for taking jobs from U.S. citizens and committing heinous crimes, even saying in December that they’re “poisoning the blood of our country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this convention, Republicans have tried to center people of color and immigrant families in an apparent effort to soften the harsh edges of the GOP created by Trump’s rhetoric. But many on the arena floor waved signs reading “Mass deportations now!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Will Trump tone that down Thursday night, or just continue with more of the same?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>5. Will the word abortion pass his lips?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Past Republican platforms have used extreme language to describe abortion and declare the rights of unborn children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, recognizing the political liability of such positions, successfully shortened and toned down the abortion issue, removing calls for a national ban on abortions and inserting a “let the states decide” position, as well as adding support for IVF treatments and opposition to late-term abortions, which are exceedingly rare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the course of his life, Trump has gone from supporting abortion rights to promising to appoint Supreme Court justices that would overturn the Roe v. Wade decision granting the nationwide right to an abortion to now saying he opposes a national ban of any kind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His base largely accepted this watered-down stance, but it will be interesting to see how much time he devotes to the issue or whether he mentions it at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>6. Still a dictator on day one?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In an interview with Fox News a few months ago, host Sean Hannity asked Trump whether, as his critics alleged, Trump would be a dictator if he regained the White House. He responded that he would not be a dictator, except on his first day in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to close the border, and I want to drill, drill, drill,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2023/12/05/trump-dictator-day-one-00130310\">Trump said\u003c/a>. “Other than that, I am not a dictator.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats pounced on that comment, saying it was proof that Trump had authoritarian instincts and could not be trusted to return to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those allegations have been underscored by \u003ca href=\"https://www.project2025.org/\">Project 2025\u003c/a>, the 900-plus page manifesto issued by the conservative Heritage Foundation and written by many former Trump staffers and allies. It calls for specific steps the former president could take upon returning to power, from mass deportations of undocumented immigrants to undoing climate change and green energy initiatives and politicizing the Department of Justice to go after political enemies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Unlike Breed and Farrell, who support criminal consequences for people sleeping outside and refusing shelter, Peskin told the group he believes “you do not criminalize unless you have someplace to offer shelter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Ahsha Safaí told the crowd that, as mayor, he would open up a “satellite office” in the Tenderloin, a neighborhood that has long struggled with sidewalk encampments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11996317\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11996317\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFMayoralDebate3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFMayoralDebate3.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFMayoralDebate3-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFMayoralDebate3-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFMayoralDebate3-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFMayoralDebate3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFMayoralDebate3-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Francisco firefighters listen as mayoral candidates present their plans ahead of Local 798’s endorsement vote. \u003ccite>(Sydney Johnson/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We have to expand more shelter,” he said, adding that he wants to also expand the city’s Homeward Bound program, which funds bus tickets to send people experiencing homelessness out of the city to return to family, friends or other support networks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attendees at Thursday’s debate also asked the candidates for their thoughts on a proposal by Supervisors Peskin and Safaí, which will be voted on next week, to boost firefighters’ retirement benefits and lower the retirement age for younger firefighters from 58 to 55.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adam Wood, secretary of the firefighter’s union, said the measure aims to address high cancer rates in the department by limiting exposure as firefighters age and their risk increases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have had over 200 cancer diagnoses among active and retired firefighters [in SFFD] in the last six years, and that’s among about 1,500 people,” Wood told KQED. “The cancer rate we are experiencing is especially concerning for firefighters once they reach the age of 50 and over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union’s mayoral endorsement for this election cycle will be announced Aug. 8.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The recount occurred over 13 days in parts of San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, requiring election workers to rescan ballots. During the process, officials added ballots that were erroneously left out of the initial count and removed ballots that were counted twice by mistake. As a result of the recount, Low moved ahead of Simitian by five votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Driving the story: \u003c/strong>The recount was marked with intrigue and recriminations between the Low campaign and the backers of the recount. It was requested by Jonathan Padilla, a former Liccardo staffer, leading to accusations and ethics complaints that the campaign and recount group were illegally coordinating, which both have denied. Low, meanwhile, opposed the recount, and his lawyers pushed to stop it from taking place. California does not have a law triggering automatic recounts, but any voter in the district can request one – and must place a daily deposit to cover the costs of the work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>By the numbers: \u003c/strong>Count the Vote reported raising $271,500 through June 30 and spending $268,000 on recount costs and legal fees. A pro-Liccardo super PAC called Neighbors for Results gave $102,000 to the recount effort. Neighbors for Results received significant funding from former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, whom Liccardo endorsed in his 2020 run for president. Chris Larsen, the former CEO of Ripple Labs who has endorsed Liccardo’s congressional run, contributed $100,000 to the recount. Other backers include Padilla, along with Nick Josefowitz, a former BART director, and Daniel J. Warmenhoven, the former CEO of NetApp. All three had previously donated to Liccardo’s campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What they’re saying: \u003c/strong>The Low campaign blasted the recount on Tuesday as “nothing more than a dirty trick.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s now clear Liccardo’s billionaire donors funded it, which hamstrung our fundraising and gave Trump Republicans a playbook to continue to undermine our democracy,” the campaign said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about the recount committee’s goals and the donors being Liccardo supporters, Padilla said, “Counting votes matters, and Evan tried to stop it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Evan’s a hypocrite because he wants immediate disclosure of donors to recount committees but not to special interest IE [independent expenditure] committees that spent $750K on him,” Padilla added. “We need people of substance and not glib showmen to ensure the promise of our democracy endures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s next:\u003c/strong> The race between Liccardo and Low will be one of the most closely watched elections in the Bay Area this November. The winner will hold a reliably blue seat with no term limits — and could instantly become a sought-after voice in Congress on issues related to Silicon Valley. Before Monday’s disclosure deadline, Liccardo reported bringing in more than $1.6 million in the second quarter, while Low raised $751,279.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sam’s strong support from the people of this district is a testament to his record as an effective independent leader and to our community’s demands for Congress to get moving,” said Gil Rubinstein, spokesperson for the Liccardo campaign, in a statement. “In contrast, Evan Low does what all establishment, insider-funded candidates do: fundraising in Washington D.C., Sacramento and L.A. because he cannot generate meaningful support from the people he’s represented for a decade.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest round of fundraising left Liccardo with $1.9 million and Low with $846,497 on hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

California does not have a law triggering automatic recounts, but any voter in the district can request one – and must place a daily deposit to cover the costs of the work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>By the numbers: \u003c/strong>Count the Vote reported raising $271,500 through June 30 and spending $268,000 on recount costs and legal fees. A pro-Liccardo super PAC called Neighbors for Results gave $102,000 to the recount effort. Neighbors for Results received significant funding from former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, whom Liccardo endorsed in his 2020 run for president. Chris Larsen, the former CEO of Ripple Labs who has endorsed Liccardo’s congressional run, contributed $100,000 to the recount. Other backers include Padilla, along with Nick Josefowitz, a former BART director, and Daniel J. Warmenhoven, the former CEO of NetApp. All three had previously donated to Liccardo’s campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What they’re saying: \u003c/strong>The Low campaign blasted the recount on Tuesday as “nothing more than a dirty trick.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s now clear Liccardo’s billionaire donors funded it, which hamstrung our fundraising and gave Trump Republicans a playbook to continue to undermine our democracy,” the campaign said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about the recount committee’s goals and the donors being Liccardo supporters, Padilla said, “Counting votes matters, and Evan tried to stop it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Evan’s a hypocrite because he wants immediate disclosure of donors to recount committees but not to special interest IE [independent expenditure] committees that spent $750K on him,” Padilla added. “We need people of substance and not glib showmen to ensure the promise of our democracy endures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s next:\u003c/strong> The race between Liccardo and Low will be one of the most closely watched elections in the Bay Area this November. The winner will hold a reliably blue seat with no term limits — and could instantly become a sought-after voice in Congress on issues related to Silicon Valley. Before Monday’s disclosure deadline, Liccardo reported bringing in more than $1.6 million in the second quarter, while Low raised $751,279.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sam’s strong support from the people of this district is a testament to his record as an effective independent leader and to our community’s demands for Congress to get moving,” said Gil Rubinstein, spokesperson for the Liccardo campaign, in a statement. “In contrast, Evan Low does what all establishment, insider-funded candidates do: fundraising in Washington D.C., Sacramento and L.A. because he cannot generate meaningful support from the people he’s represented for a decade.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest round of fundraising left Liccardo with $1.9 million and Low with $846,497 on hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
