    >> Former mayor of San Francisco Willie Brown thinks  that Kamala Harris, who is said to be high on the list of vice presidential possible running mates for Joe Biden, should "politely decline" the offer if presented.

    >> Democratic presidential candidate this week announces who his running mate will be. Apart from the political theater it will create, it certainly will be seen as Biden aggressively courting two groups key to a win -- African Americans and women. Will this do it?
    >> House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.), who played a major role in organizing Biden's stunning political comeback, says he believes Trump is already exploring ways to remain in office even if he loses the election. Drown the courts with lawsuits?

    >> Trump and his heavy-handed 'law-and-order' campaign tactic get trounced by people power in Portland. Will Cleveland, Detroit and Milwaukee, targeted for similar treatment by Trump, reinforce Portland's response?
    >> With 4.51M confirmed cases in the United States and 254K due to the disease, you'd think that President Trump would have conveyed his profound sorrow to the nation, especially to those who are grieving the loss and suffering of his fellow Americans. But nothing. Zip. Nada. How sad.
    >> Move over, Dr. Fauci, President Trump has a medical adviser far better than you.

    Here's what we're talking about on Leid Stories today.
    >> In an extraordinarily and complicated election year, the same two parties that for decades have dominated and split the vote will once again do so. Why won't it change this time, especially when the need is so clear?
    >> It happens too often in high-profile or high-stakes criminal cases, when the state's medical examiner will issue a finding on the cause (or causes) of death, and a pathologist hired by the family of the deceased issues a different finding, often contradicting that of the state. This has become common particularly in cases involving killings of citizens by police. What should be done about it?
