In Jill Biden’s Vogue cover, there’s optimism and rebuke – The Washington Post

Vogue has a crush on Biden, but her predecessor was never photographed for the magazine during her tenure in the White House.

The Pew Research Center just released its validated voters’ report, considered a more accurate measure of the electorate than exit polls, which have the potential for significant inaccuracies.
