Today: Join my post-debate subscriber chat
With less than 60 days until the election, there's no time like the present to become a paid subscriber to Message Box. This newsletter is a version of the strategy memos I used to write for Barack Obama and other politicians, tailored for people who talk and text about politics all day. My goal is to give every activist the same political analysis, poll breakdowns, and talking points that insiders get from their consultants. Today: Join my post-debate subscriber chatI will be answering subscriber questions about the debate and everythingGood morning, everyone. Many of you joined the Message Box community in the last several weeks. A number of you came via the recommendation of other Substackers like NextDraft, Simon Rosenberg, and Brian Tyler Cohen. Others connected with us via my friends at Crooked Media. However you got here, thank you so much for subscribing. Four years into this newsletter, I am still surprised whenever someone agrees to have my thoughts delivered to their inbox. Tuesday night’s debate was the most significant moment of the campaign so far, and it couldn’t have gone better for Kamala Harris. I received many questions from Message Box readers about what happens next. How much will polls move? Will there be a second debate? Should there be a second debate? Can Trump recover? And what should Harris do to build on her momentum? Long-time readers know that I hold regular Q&A sessions with paid subscribers. The next one is tomorrow morning. Starting tomorrow morning (9/12), I will pop into the chat all day to answer everyone’s questions about the debate and anything else on your mind. I hope you will consider upgrading your subscription to participate. Either way, I hope you very much enjoyed watching Trump get the ass-whipping he so deserved. How to get started
