Former Vice President Joe Biden’s lead in Democratic primary polls has shrunk to about 11 points — the smallest since he announced his candidacy in April.

Justin Amash’s decision to leave the Republican Party in favor of becoming an independent. What does his experience tell us about the broader political environment and the state of the “Never Trump” movement?
