Today’s installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.

* President Joe Biden was set to address UnidosUS, which bills itself as the largest Latino advocacy organization in U.S., but he had to cancel because of his latest Covid infection.

* For what it’s worth, BET host Ed Gordon asked the Democratic incumbent this week if there was anything that might cause him to reevaluate his re-election plans. “If I had some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, if doctors came to me and said, ‘You got this problem, that problem,’” Biden replied.

* While Vice President Kamala Harris has agreed to debate Republican Sen. JD Vance, the Trump campaign responded that it won’t agree to until after the Democratic National Convention, which is scheduled to begin on Aug. 19.

* North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, the Republican Party’s right-wing gubernatorial nominee, apparently removed references to abortion from his campaign website.
