Media: @JohnJHarwood: "The core point @JoeBiden made about a threat to democracy is true. [As journalists], we're taught not to take sides in honest disagreements between parties. But these are not honest disagreements. The @GOP right now is led by a dishonest demagogue."

Media: @Acosta at @Andrews_JBA to @andersoncooper says he's scheduled to fly with #DonaldTrump's entourage to Florida after the departure event. "We'll see if they let me on the plane. I'm a little concerned that at mid-flight they may hand me a parachute and say 'good luck.'"
