Quick Glance: Joe Lieberman, Former US Senator and Vice Presidential Candidate, Passes Away at 82
- Former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman from Connecticut, who came close to winning the vice presidency on the Democratic ticket with Al Gore in the disputed 2000 election and nearly became running mate to Republican John McCain eight years later, has passed away.

- Renowned for his firm foreign policy perspectives, pro-defense inclinations, and robust support for environmental matters, Lieberman was instrumental in the legislative efforts leading to the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security.

LIVE: US Vice President Kamala Harris discusses marijuana policy reforms: Reuters Live on X (Twitter)
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1lDxLPVjBDzxm
Quick Glance: Harris' Journey to a Clear Stance on Marijuana
- The evolution of Vice President Kamala Harris' views on marijuana, from prosecution to legalization, raises questions that she should explain to voters. Vice President Kamala Harris' support for cannabis law reform at the White House on Friday will certainly be scrutinized by skeptical Californians who can still remember her time as an anti-weed district attorney.
- Now, Harris has the opportunity to move beyond her journey on marijuana and tell voters how and why she has changed regarding cannabis. This explanation could also enhance her reputation with young voters and people of color who are not enthusiastic about supporting the Biden-Harris ticket.
- It is crucial for Harris and Biden to elucidate their position changes to counter critics who may argue they are acting out of political expediency. Harris' cannabis history is intricate and often contradictory. She has evolved since her tenure as San Francisco District Attorney in 2003, when only 34% of Americans supported legalization.
- Biden has endeavored more than any other president to modify cannabis laws since taking office. He mandated an administrative review to reclassify cannabis from the Schedule 1 category of controlled substances. While Biden and Harris are making progress on cannabis reform, Congress lags behind. Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer promised to put a cannabis reform bill on the Senate floor three years ago, which has yet to happen.

Quick Glance: Democratic Initiative for Ukraine Aid Vote
- House Democrats have officially launched their efforts to compel a vote on Ukraine aid to bring the legislation to the floor despite resistance from Republican leadership.

- The success rate of requests for approval is extremely low, and it is uncertain whether Democrats will obtain the 218 signatures they seek.
- Some liberal Democrats are already hesitant about providing more military aid to Israel, while moderate Republicans criticize the Democrats' strategy of insisting on the Senate's version of the foreign aid package.
