Hello and

welcome to the Daily Beans for Tuesday, May 14th, 2024.

seems poised to reverse the ban on ballot drop boxes. Madam Vice President dropped an

I didn't want to announce that I was coming. I wasn't sure I was going to get in. I also know that I was mentioned in Vaudir and I didn't want to draw too much attention to it

in the press community who helped me today.

Politico, Kyle Cheney, and Erica Orden.

Hugo Lowell from The Guardian was there.

Maggie Haberman from The Times.

considering that I started covering this story
