Five Stories You'll Care About in Politics This Week

— -- Who said a presidential campaign isn't dangerous? You could lose a tooth. Someone could lick your camera. You might accidentally say you’re running before you actually are. You could find yourself raising money for the kind of super PAC you say you loathe.

Your brother's shadow could envelop your campaign. If you win, kings might still not come over when you invite them. And if you lose, you might wind up in the ring with the former heavyweight champion of the world.

Here's a look at some of the stories the ABC News political team will be tracking in the week ahead:

BROTHERLY LOVE

Jeb Bush stepped up his public game in recent days – only to have his week consumed by questions anyone close to his brother is far too familiar with. It took Bush four days and five different answers to land where he basically needed to be all along on Iraq, saying that he wouldn’t have invaded if he had known at the time of the war what we now know about faulty intelligence. In the meantime, his rivals pounced, sensing a soft spot that won’t go away. Other Republican candidates have their own foreign-policy questions to answer. But none appear as acute as Bush’s challenges, as he sorts through the legacies of two former presidents. And Republicans might find themselves spending another presidential campaign talking about Iraq.

HELLO AGAIN HILLARY

It’s almost as if Hillary Clinton will have a normal week of campaigning. She’s set to campaign in Iowa and New Hampshire – and not be forced back to Washington, at least not yet, to testify on Benghazi. But nothing’s quite normal about this campaign, not after a month-plus of campaigning brought a grand total of nine answers to questions from reporters. The pace of Clinton’s roll-out has actually slowed. This past week brought mostly closed-door fundraisers, with a stroll through Brooklyn perhaps the most notable campaign moments captured on camera. Plans for a larger-scale launch, complete with public rallies, are still in development. But frustration is growing, from both reporters and activists, about campaign access and accountability.

TRADE'S PLACE

President Obama’s bid for "fast-track" trade authority is back on track for a Senate vote in the coming days, with Republicans ready to provide the votes the bill will need. But this debate is more than about strange bedfellows – it’s about friendly fire inside the Democratic Party. To a remarkable degree, the fight has devolved into Barack Obama vs. Elizabeth Warren, with charges of sexism flying and thoughts of 2016 churning inside liberals' minds. Minus their dream candidate, progressives are pushing Hillary Clinton to move in their direction – and against the president's – on trade. It's just one of a series of issues that's providing angst inside the Democratic base. And even if the trade bill makes it through the Senate, it will have to get through a deeply skeptical Democratic leadership in the House.

SOUTHERN CHARMS

The Republican 2016 roadshow moves to Oklahoma City next, with the Southern Republican Leadership set to draw roughly a dozen contenders starting on Thursday. Among the highlights will be a straw poll, which organizers will (over)sell as an early indicator of who plays well in the South. A so-called “SEC primary” is coming together to enhance some regional strength in next year’s the primaries. The stakes, though, could be more immediate: A crop of second- and third-tier candidates is seeking breakthrough moments. While the field is still forming, Republicans are already talking about ways to limit the size of the field at the GOP debates, the first of which is coming in August.

'15's FIGHTS

An odd-numbered year doesn’t bring too many notable election days. But two races being settled Tuesday are drawing national attention. Republicans will choose their gubernatorial candidate in Kentucky, with a three-way fight colored by allegations that one of the candidates abused his college girlfriend. (That candidate, James Comer, dismissed the allegations as “‘House of Cards’ politics.”) Also on Tuesday, Democrats in Philadelphia will choose their mayoral candidate, with former longtime city council member Jim Kenney the favorite to take over leadership of the nation’s fifth-largest city. Kenney's platform and coalition-building have drawn favorable comparisons to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, whose national profile has been growing in recent months.
