Joe Biden

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are set to face off in their first televised debate of the 2024 cycle later this month on CNN. Both campaigns are scrambling to get their candidates prepared for their first debate in four years.

The New York Times reported that Biden's advisors are preparing for a feisty 90 minutes of intense back-and-forth with the 45th president of the United States, who they don't expect to play fair despite the strict rules both campaigns agreed to. The debate, which will not include a live audience, has a format in which neither candidate gives an opening statement but rather goes right into answering moderators' questions with a two-minute time limit. A flashing red light will blink when the candidate speaking has five seconds remaining.

Donald Trump bragged again about how he “aced” a cognitive test designed to test for dementia — and then he gave the wrong name for the White House doctor who administered it.

Dr. Ronny Jackson was not only Trump’s doctor while president, he’s also a Texas Republican congressman and a staunch ally of the former president who even attended his New York criminal trial.

Donald Trump claims CNN is scrambling to figure out how to handle the presidential debate after he left them shocked by accepting the network’s invitation.

The former president was speaking to a Detroit convention of the right-wing group Turning Point Action on Saturday.

Donald Trump drifted into a bizarre description of his hair-washing routine as he spoke about energy efficiency standards at a Michigan speech Saturday.

The former president was railing about environmental restrictions he said limited water use in dishwashers.

A plan by Donald Trump's presidential campaign to outsource get-out-the-vote efforts in what is expected to be a tight race for the presidency with President Joe Biden is getting a thumbs-down from a former Republican National Committee official.

According to a report from CNN, the Trump campaign, which is trailing Biden's campaign in fundraising and is being hurt by having to funnel millions to the now-convicted felon Trump's lawyers as his legal bills keep piling up, is making a "risky" bet on using outside groups to get conservative voters to the polls.

Donald Trump, whose attempted White House return is based in part on attacking President Joe Biden as old and feeble, turned 78 Friday — just three years younger than his election rival — with growing questions over his own health.

Whoever wins the November election will set a new age record. At 81, Biden is already the oldest man to hold the office and would continue to be so, while if Trump wins, he would become the oldest ever at an inauguration.

From bear hugs to looks that could kill, G7 leaders may have put on a show of unity at an Italy summit this week -- but it was not all la dolce vita.

Footage of the leaders singing "Happy Birthday" to Germany's Olaf Scholz at Joe Biden's urging was the perfect display of Group of Seven cooperation.

With both Donald Trump and President Joe Biden prepping for the June 27 debate — the first of the 2024 presidential campaign — there are growing concerns within the former president's camp that the two-minute time limit for answers combined with the candidate's mic being muted when it is not their turn will prove difficult for Trump who is known to ramble.

The debate, to be held on CNN with "State of the Union" hosts Jake Tapper and Dana Bash serving as moderators, has a much stricter set of rules than were implemented when the two faced off four years ago, and campaign strategists are prepping their candidates accordingly.

Outside of having no audience on hand, the control of the candidate's microphone will be the most obvious change.

As the New York Times is reporting, "There will be no opening statements. President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump will each have two minutes to answer questions — followed by one-minute rebuttals and responses to the rebuttals. Red lights visible to the candidates will flash when they have five seconds left, and turn solid red when time has expired. And each man’s microphone will be muted when it is not his turn to speak."

Noting that four years ago, Trump continued to talk over Biden which led to the Democart to tell him, "Will you shut up, man?” the Times report notes, "The rules circulated by CNN warn that this time, 'moderators will use all tools at their disposal to enforce timing."'

One former adviser to Trump said the new restrictions may put the former president at a disadvantage.

With the Times report noting, "For his part, Mr. Trump has never consented to anything resembling traditional, rigorous debate preparation, and this election appears no exception. He has often said that he is at his best when improvising," former 2020 Trump campaign adviser Marc Lotter admitted, "He views his rallies as debate prep. If they’re literally going to cut your mic, you’ve got to hit your marks."

George Santos might have expected champagne service on his New York City-bound flight. But apparently he feels he's being handled more like stowed baggage during his recent layover somewhere in Virginia.

And he's dying for a piece of fruit given the unsavory munchie options.

Dan Rather sees a fractured country. And the American flag is in a kind of tug-of-war between MAGA and everyone else.

In his essay "It’s The American Flag (Not a Trump flag)," the former CBS anchor evokes dismay by the fact that Old Glory once stood as a symbol of unity — but has since "regrettably become a symbol of division."

A prominent House Democrat and lawyer on Friday blasted the Supreme Court for striking down a ban on so-called "bump stocks" — a rapid-fire gun attachment used in the 2017 massacre in Las Vegas — calling it "outrageous," and pointing out that the federal agency governing such weapons even thinks its an assault weapon.

The Supreme Court on Friday struck down the Trump-era ban, with Justice Sonia Sotomayor providing a scathing dissent.

CNN Correspondent Kristen Holmes cracked a smile when asked about how former President Donald Trump's 78th birthday bash was going.

"What's the scene like at Trump's birthday celebration," CNN's Anderson Cooper inquired. "They're playing apparently 'Macho Man' by the Village People?"
