Joe Biden

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton framed the upcoming election as "between chaos and competence" in a New York Times op-ed, but some on the left have low expectations for President Joe Biden's performance in Thursday's debate.

Clinton's op-ed was published Tuesday morning. She says she's the only person to have debated both Biden and former President Donald Trump, so she knows each candidate's debating style.

The U.S. surgeon general on Tuesday issued a landmark advisory declaring gun violence a "public health crisis" and calling for wide-ranging firearm controls that have historically met stiff political opposition.

The advisory by Vivek Murthy, who was nominated by President Joe Biden, is the first such major report on gun violence from a surgeon general, whose office has limited authority but plays a significant role in public health issues.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Jonathan Lemire ripped Donald Trump's allies for pushing misleading videos to suggest president Joe Biden was feeble while also claiming he might be using drugs to boost his performance in the upcoming presidential debate.

The "Morning Joe" host wasn't surprised that Trump and his campaign aides were trying to manage expectations before Thursday's debate, but he lambasted the Wall Street Journal and New York Post for helping to boost those false claims about the president's mental fitness.

Conservative Matt Lewis is growing increasingly tired of former President Donald Trump's efforts to pre-spin a bad performance at Thursday's debate with President Joe Biden.

Writing in The Daily Beast, Lewis notes how Trump for years has portrayed himself as a victim of fraud committed by unseen nefarious forces, which gives him a ready-made excuse should he come up short in debates, elections or criminal trials.

After taking a beating in the ratings from rivals Fox News and MSNBC, CNN is hoping that by hosting the first presidential debate of 2024, it can win back some cable news viewers.

The network, the first in history to earn sole broadcast rights for a presidential debate, offered competitors the chance to pick up its feed Thursday night, under certain conditions.

Two years after the US Supreme Court stripped constitutional protections for abortion, the explosive issue will feature prominently in Thursday's debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump -- with the Republican under pressure not to alienate voters.

On June 24, 2022, the high court -- with a super-conservative majority built under Trump's presidency -- overturned the historic ruling in Roe v. Wade that had protected abortion rights, placing the issue in the hands of the states.

President Joe Biden is hoping to get under Donald Trump's skin during their first debate and induce him to reveal the unhinged version of himself he shows to fans at rallies, in hopes of horrifying viewers who haven't seen much of him since his presidency ended.

The president's advisers are combing through Trump's recent remarks to help identify potential triggers that might knock him off balance and send him into an off-topic tirade, and Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that should be relatively easy to do.

A right-wing organization allied with presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump and funded by the group behind Project 2025 has reportedly begun assembling a list of federal employees deemed potentially disloyal to the former president, an effort that is drawing comparisons to the McCarthyite crusades of the 1950s.

The American Accountability Foundation (AAF), headed by former Republican Senate staffer Tom Jones, is "digging into the backgrounds, social media posts, and commentary of key high-ranking government employees, starting with the Department of Homeland Security," The Associated Pressreported Monday.

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R), who remains on the vice presidential shortlist to join Donald Trump's 2024 presidential ticket, floated the prospect that President Joe Biden may have committed election interference in 2020.

Voters he's meeting in swing states want Biden to answer a few key questions when the 45th and 46th presidents face off June 27 in Atlanta, Burgam said.

If Donald Trump wasn't Donald Trump, he'd already be clinking a tin cup across a jail's iron bars.

That's essentially conservative attorney and co-founder of the anti-Trump "Lincoln Project" super PAC George Conway's take on the remarkable latitude the former president has been granted in his apparent nose-thumbing at the "witch hunt" and "election interference" trials against him.

To hawk limited edition coffee mugs as merch, former President Donald Trump complained about being "tortured" when he was arrested.

And many found it laughable.

The Commission on Presidential Debates attacked President Joe Biden's campaign Monday, days ahead of a planned CNN debate between the president and former President Donald Trump.

The group said that due to the Biden campaign, they're "regrettably" releasing the colleges and universities from contracts.
