🖼️ The world braces for what Philly does with its new art installation

🗳️ Philly Campaign Countdown

• In addition to Elon Musk’s offer of $47 for every referral that leads to a new registered voter, the MAGA billionaire says he is giving away $1 million daily to Pennsylvanians who sign his political petition. And that has resulted in expected (hoped for?) criticism, including from Gov. Josh Shapiro. [NPR]
• Kamala Harris returned to the burbs yesterday for a campaign stop in Malvern. She is set to visit tomorrow for a CNN Town Hall event in Delaware County. Donald Trump, fresh off flipping fries at McDonald’s and talking about a deceased golfer’s penis at a Pennsylvania campaign rally over the weekend, was invited to participate but opted not to attend.

• Democratic Sen. Bob Casey has lost his lead over Republican hedge fund manager Dave McCormick in the Pennsylvania senate race. It is now a “toss-up.” [🔒 Cook Political Report]

🎦 Can Philly Handle This Art Piece?

The Portal will be open Tuesday in Love Park, connecting Philly to Dublin, Ireland; Vilnius, Lithuania; and Lublin, Poland. The project was made famous when the portal between New York and Dublin closed due to bad behavior from both cities. Now, the question is … will Philly keep its cool? The three cities should expect to see some “GO BIRDS!” signs and who knows what else. [The Inquirer]
