Are you sure? Becasuse that was probably me on this same account. On a different post on the exact same topic, I made a comment clarifying the same thing

Edit: searching for "at least $15" across lemmy on my instance only has my own comments come up

He said he wanted his military generals to look like Hitler's

In their book, The Divider: Trump in the White House, Peter Baker and Susan Glasser reported that Trump asked John Kelly, his chief of staff at the time, “Why can’t you be like the German generals?”

[...]

According to Baker and Glasser, Kelly explained to Trump that German generals “tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off.” This correction did not move Trump to reconsider his view: “No, no, no, they were totally loyal to him,” the president responded.

[...]

This week, I asked Kelly about their exchange. He told me that when Trump raised the subject of “German generals,” Kelly responded by asking, “‘Do you mean Bismarck’s generals?’” He went on: “I mean, I knew he didn’t know who Bismarck was, or about the Franco-Prussian War. I said, ‘Do you mean the kaiser’s generals? Surely you can’t mean Hitler’s generals? And he said, ‘Yeah, yeah, Hitler’s generals.

Think the title autofil wasn't about to get the title right, should read

Former Trump official agrees with John Kelly: Trump ‘does not operate by the rule of law’

Note that she's saying "to at least $15 an hour" not saying that it should only be $15/hr

The senate race is rather close in Texas, there's a real chance to oust cruz. If we're really lucky maybe flip blue for president too this cycle or be close enough that republicans have to pay attention and play defence next cycle

Headlines usually are written in headline case which capitalize everything but article. It might've been good to deviate from the guidelines in this case

RealClearPolitics is hardly the place to look for accuracy. They have no pollster weighting and treat polls from a group like Trafalgar (that has literally come out as illegal working with the trump campaign) the same as a highly qualified pollsters. Guess which groups publish more polls lately

And what they push on their site has also been very pro-trump in general

In November 2020, The New York Times published an article alleging that since 2017, when many of its "straight-news" reporting journalists were laid off, RealClearPolitics showed a pro-Trump turn with donations to its affiliated nonprofit increasing from entities supported by wealthy conservatives

52% odds of winning on 538 is not really favored. 538 itself calls that even odds. A 2% difference is noise from polling

Also keep in mind that the 538 odds have been heavily influenced lately by right wing aligned groups flooding the average. The polling from higher quality groups hasn't really changed all that much, still largely suggesting Harris with a slight lead

And note that her wording was "at least $15", so she's signaling openness to doing more than that
