2024 Elections

President Joe Biden managed once again to send former President Donald Trump's campaign spokesperson into conniptions on Thursday.

The president kicked off July 4 celebrations with a rousing speech at the White House honoring the sacrifice of veterans — but he appeared to veer off-script at one point to make a jab at former Trump for his disrespect of American troops.

Black voters are furious over recent calls for President Joe Biden to step away from the 2024 campaign, a conservative told CNN viewers Thursday.

Commentator Shermichael Singleton made this discovery when he threw his support behind calls for Biden to step aside on SiriusXM Urban View, the African American talk radio channel on which he says he is the only conservative.

Former President Donald Trump threw down the gauntlet in one of many rambling posts to Truth Social on July 4, challenging President Joe Biden to another debate.

Trump also leapt at the opportunity to once again boast of his own ratings.

Former President Donald Trump's team was caught unawares this week by a recent turn in the campaign and have no idea how to respond, a CNN analyst said Thursday.

Calls for President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race caught an unprepared Trump campaign completely by surprise, reporter Alayna Treene told anchor Pamela Brown Thursday afternoon.

Fresh off his self-aggrandizing rant earlier in the day, former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on July 4 to lob schoolyard insults at ABC News reporter George Stephanopoulos.

This comes just one day before a major interview is set to drop in primetime between Stephanopoulos and President Joe Biden.

Former President Donald Trump was caught on hot mic this week while driving in a golf cart, ranting about President Joe Biden as a "pile of c---" and proclaiming that Vice President Kamala Harris, who is his most obvious replacement if the ongoing media and party panic over his health causes him to drop out, is "so f---ing bad."

But Trump doesn't appear remotely embarrassed at his behavior. On the contrary, he is now using footage from that video in a campaign ad, according to The Daily Beast.

Bubbling rage against Donald Trump and the political elite who protect him from criminal prosecution has the power to topple the former president's campaign, an American historian and scholar argued Thursday.

Ruth Ben-Ghiat spoke with the Guardian's Margaret Sullivan about what they described as the media's false equivalency fallacy equating President Joe Biden's poor debate performance with Trumps' four criminal cases, authoritarian rhetoric and campaign agenda, and problematic first presidency.

Former President Donald Trump kicked off the Fourth of July with a lengthy screed on Truth Social praising himself and lobbing insults at President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris — barely mentioning anything at all about the founding of the country or any of its values.

"Happy Fourth of July to all, including to our highly incapable 'President,' who uses Prosecutors to go after his Political Opponent, who choked like a dog during the Debate but tried to pretend it was 'International Travel' (only 12 days rest!) and, when that gig was up, he blamed it on a 'cold,'" Trump wrote.

Former President Donald Trump has taken advantage of the news cycle following last week's debate with President Joe Biden, allowing the president to contend with a growing chorus of voices from the beltway media and within his own party for him to end his reelection campaign.

According to a Thursday report in CNN, Trumpworld is executing a strategy of laying low despite there being just four months remaining in the election cycle, under the belief that putting Trump out there may distract from the relentlessly negative news cycle Biden is currently contending with.

President Joe Biden told Democratic governors Wednesday that he has a brand new bed time, according to breaking new reports.

The president said in a White House meeting he'll stop scheduling events after 8 p.m. to allow more time for sleep, three sources told CNN.

On the 4th of July, the New York Times opinion section chose to publish an op-ed from a Michigan resident making his case to not vote in the 2024 election. One democracy expert slammed the national paper of record for its decision to run the essay.

The column, which is titled, "Why I Don't Vote. And Why Maybe You Shouldn't Either," is by Matthew Walther, who is a contributing editor to The American Conservative. With a noticeable tone of considerable disgust, Walther describes the term "civic duty" — which voting rights advocates often use when making the case to participate in the electoral process — as "off-putting."

During an appearance on MSNBC on July 4th afternoon, Slate legal analyst Dahlia Lithwick expressed skepticism that Chief Justice John Roberts has any idea what he expects from the lower courts after his majority ruling on Donald Trump's presidential criminal immunity was punted back to them.

Speaking with host Richard Lui and former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner, the topic turned to the Supreme Court's stunning 6-3 majority opinion that seems to absolve Donald Trump of any criminality committed while he was president.

At issue was the conservative majority court's broad expansion of what constitutes "presidential duties" as opposed to "personal conduct."

With Judge Chutkan being put on the spot to make her own determination after holding evidentiary hearings as soon as possible, only to have the Supreme Court to review her findings, Lithwick suggested Roberts himself is in the dark as to what he is looking for from the lower court judge and in the Trump Manhattan hush-money case that has been being presided over by Judge Juan Merchan who is also undertaking a review.

"But it's really not a clear test, it's an incredibly murky test, and the court wants it to get worked out in the appellate process," Lithwick offered. "So, you know, the short answer I think we can do a ton of lawyering around this and clearly, that's what [Manhattan District Attorney Alvin] Bragg's team is going to try to do is lawyer this, and I think Glenn's right."

"An awful lot of this conduct by any construction of what is private unofficial acts still seems to survive, But I want to be really clear. I don't know that John Roberts knows what the test is that he's set forth in his opinion on Monday," she added.
