OFF THE RACES: Trump vs. Univision
From the Wall Street Journal: “Campaigns and super PACs supporting four Republican governors running for president raised at least $ 2.5 million in legal donations from companies with state contracts or taxpayer subsidies, illustrating potential conflicts of interest that may emerge when candidates exit the primary and return home.”
TRUMP: Here’s NBCNews.com on his clash with Jorge Ramos.
He said on TODAY that Ramos was “totally out of line.”
And here’s NBC’s Ali Vitali on his rally in Dubuque — and the jabs he took at Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio.
The New York Times examines how Latino media has covered Donald Trump. “[F]or the Spanish-language press, which has grown in size and influence in politics, the tense exchange was a highly public flexing of muscle against a candidate who many outlets no longer pretend to cover objectively: They are offended by Mr. Trump’s words and tactics — and they are showing it.”
BIDEN: On a conference call this afternoon, he’ll lobby DNC members on the Iran deal.
A deep dive from POLITICO: “Bill Clinton, according to a person who has spoken with the former president in the last couple of weeks, is “very agitated” by the possibility of a Biden candidacy and incensed at the press hype around a possible bid. Hillary Clinton, Democrats in her orbit tell POLITICO, is less concerned — and several top Clinton campaign officials have told associates they think a Biden bid would energize what has been a fairly lackluster performance by the candidate this far.”
BUSH: The New York Times editorial board writes that Bush was “awful” during his appearance at the border.
CARSON: The Wall Street Journal looks at his continually high numbers among Republican primary voters, which suggest that he could have staying power if other candidates flame out.
CRUZ: He had a back-and-forth with Megyn Kelly over mass deportation, telling her she’s repeating “the question every mainstream media liberal journalist wants to ask,” Hallie Jackson reports.
PERRY: He’s reorganizing his Iowa team amid further financial woes.
RUBIO: In an interview with CNBC’s John Harwood, he hit back at comparisons between his and Barack Obama’s biographies: “”I don’t think Barack Obama failed because he was a senator, or because he hadn’t been in the Senate long enough. I think he has failed because his ideas don’t work.”
“With a financial crisis in China rattling global markets, Senator Marco Rubio plans to deliver a major foreign policy speech on Friday outlining how a Rubio administration would more assertively challenge the Chinese, joining leading Republican rivals in pressing this line of attack,” the New York Times says.
SANDERS: The New York Times: “While direct comparisons are difficult at this early stage in the 2016 race, Mr. Sanders’s small-dollar support appears significantly higher than Mr. Obama’s in 2008, and more than any other candidate this cycle.”
WALKER: He could face a backlash in Iowa for his comments about China, notes the Washington Post.
OBAMA AGENDA: Watching Wall Street
The latest on the markets, from the Wall Street Journal: “Global markets struggled Wednesday to shrug off fears of a deepening Chinese economic slowdown which have roiled stocks in recent sessions. European stocks opened lower, tracking a late tumble in U.S. markets Tuesday that dashed hopes of a return to stability.”
The chaos is throwing the Fed’s plans for interest rates into turmoil.
Congressional Republican leaders don’t yet have a strategy to stave off a government shutdown over Planned Parenthood.
