Biden is for sure in trouble with young people and young Black people, but I love this correct 45-year-old former exotic dancer very much.
Ambria Harris, a 45-year-old former exotic dancer who studied political science at Oakland University and lives in Southfield, said she would "definitely back Biden" before Trump, even though she considers herself an independent. "I don't believe in the Republicans because they're not fiscally conservative," she said.
THEY’RE NOT! (Freep)
See what I mean about how the AP lately is just correct? Just framing things correctly, reporting on really important shit, I’m just really impressed with them lately. Anyway, good hed, AP: Trump challenges Biden to a cognitive test but confuses the name of the doctor who tested him.

My mother took my brothers and I out for dinner yesterday. At a few months shy of 100 years old, she likes to hang on to me for balance when navigating crowded spaces. Walking through a restaurant with this composed, dignified, and elegant woman on my arm makes me feel like the proudest person in the world.
