| Donald Trump has publicly refused to disavow his racialized criticism of the sitting federal judge presiding over the multi-state fraud suit against Trump University, but according to campaign surrogate Ben Carson, he’s more circumspect in private. | |
| “He fully recognizes that that was not the right thing to say,” Carson told Politico in an interview. “He was probably talking out loud rather than thinking. That’s not a good thing to do when everything you say is going to be analyzed.” | |
| At the apex of the criticism of his comments, in which Trump declared that judge Gonzalo Curiel’s Latino background meant that he could not preside over a case involving Trump without bias, Trump released a statement declaring that his criticism had been “misconstrued” and vowing to never address the matter again. | |
| “I do not intend to comment on this matter any further,” Trump said. | |

| Speaking at the Faith and Freedom Conference in Washington, DC, this morning, Georgia senator David Perdue told attendees to pray for President Barack Obama: | |
| We should pray like Psalm 109:8 says: Let his days be few. | |
| The next line in that particular Psalm: “Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.” | |

| With the general election campaign (almost) in full gear, the arc of this week’s political narrative has been the phoenix-like resurgence of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton – if not from the ashes, at least from terrible polling numbers. With key endorsements from Barack Obama and Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren, Clinton appears to be well on her way to the kind of party unity that so distressed supporters who fretted it may never come. | With the general election campaign (almost) in full gear, the arc of this week’s political narrative has been the phoenix-like resurgence of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton – if not from the ashes, at least from terrible polling numbers.

| Now, speculation about Clinton’s campaign moves from party unity to the top ticket – specifically, who Clinton will select as her running mate. While Warren told Rachel Maddow last night that she is “very happy” with her role in the Senate, the Washington Post reports that the two will meet privately this morning. | Now, speculation about Clinton’s campaign moves from party unity to the top ticket – specifically, who Clinton will select as her running mate.

| Meanwhile, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump – fresh from his trip to the burn ward – is dodging continued fallout from incendiary comments he made about a sitting federal judge. What kind of fallout? The kind where the senate majority leader says that Trump “doesn’t know a lot about the issues” and says he is open to withdrawing his endorsement. | Meanwhile, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump – fresh from his trip to the burn ward – is dodging continued fallout from incendiary comments he made about a sitting federal judge.
