Stormy Daniels' lawyer and apparent 2020 presidential hopeful Michael Avenatti tweeted Sunday that he will lead a "resistance rally" in Texas in October to counter President Trump's planned campaign event for Sen. Ted Cruz.

The big picture: Avenatti, who said last month that he was "seriously" considering running for president, joins Parkland survivor David Hogg in targeting the Trump-Cruz rally with an attempt to needle the president.

2024 will be an election year like no other, as President Biden seeks re-election amid economic uncertainty, two wars and questions about his age. His likely foe, former President Trump, faces felony charges and vows revenge on his political enemies. Meanwhile, Americans generally are dissatisfied with those choices and are divided over immigration, race, education and more.
