Here are three stories you need to know about this week.

President Biden ends his campaign, endorses Harris who praises his ‘patriotic’ decision

The SWP take: Many of us have had differing opinions over the last few weeks about what should happen at the top of the ticket.

The SWP take: The fact that Trump walked out onto the floor at the Republican National Convention to the song “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World” tells us everything we need to know. And his running mate, JD Vance, echos that sentiment by describing himself as 100 percent pro-life and opposing abortion access even in cases of rape or incest. He also has suggested that domestic violence between a husband and wife shouldn’t necessarily elicit divorce. This vision for America is too extreme for the majority of Americans.
