President Joe Biden is in a meeting in the Hamptons with the co-chair of his campaign as some Democrats are calling for him to drop out of the race, CNN reported Saturday.

Biden has been the subject of numerous calls to withdraw from the race, including in media Editorial Board pieces by Raw Story, the New York Times, and other news outlets. The new push to get Biden out of the race stems from a disappointing, halted debate performance on Thursday night.

Over the weekend, CNN reported that Biden is having a "campaign meeting with his campaign co-chair in the Hamptons, amid a growing chorus from concerned Democrats for Biden to end his reelection bid against former president Donald Trump following a disastrous debate on CNN Thursday night." ...

Eleven years ago, Donald Trump delivered an uncharacteristically short and all-but-forgotten speech before a decidedly unfriendly crowd.

But Trump's extemporaneous address to professional wresting luminaries and fans during the 2013 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony in New York City — Trump himself was an inductee — is a curiosity worth momentarily revisiting, if only for what Trump prophesied about a pair of presidential debates with Joe Biden, the first of which is scheduled for tonight, June 27.

Here are five notable foreshadowings:...

Donald Trump has been disciplined in advance of the presidential debate in Atlanta on Thursday despite the nonchalance he's giving off.

New York Times' Maggie Haberman has learned that the 45th president is far from coasting through his preparation.

"Trump is definitely been preparing for this debate," Haberman told CNN's Wolff Blitzer on "The Situation Room." "Although for the most part, he's been preparing in ways that are different than President Biden has."...

President Joe Biden is going to send shockwaves through the MAGA movement when he trounces former president Donald Trump, former White House communications chief Anthony Scaramucci said Sunday.

Scaramucci, who spent less than two weeks in his White House post and has lately become a vocal critic against his ex-boss, has recently been sounding the alarm about the potential dangers of putting Trump back in office for a second term.

This weekend, however, he struck a nerve among Trump supporters by sharing his views on the scheduled debates. ...

Donald Trump knows he can't handle a debate against Joe Biden, and he thinks he's found his way out, according to a formerly conservative columnist.

Columnist Jennifer Rubin — a conservative until Donald Trump came along — appeared on MSNBC on Sunday, where she was asked about Fox News' recent attack against Biden. Specifically, Fox hosts have been claiming that Biden is "jacked up" and needs to be drug tested before any debate with Trump.

"Come on," the host said to Rubin after playing a clip from the conservative network....

Former President Donald Trump's team was reportedly taken aback when President Joe Biden agreed to a debate schedule — but quickly agreed, knowing that Trump had already demanded this in the first place.

But just hours after everything was agreed to, in various posts on X, Republican allies of the former president are already finding things to complain about with the whole arrangement — leading some to suspect they're already planting the seeds of giving Trump an excuse to bail on the whole thing.

"Call me cynical, but why is Biden suddenly so willing to debate?" wrote Vivek Ramaswamy, a businessman who ran as a far-right GOP candidate in the 2024 primary against Trump. "It could be because he’s desperate, or it could be because it’s a set-up. Keep an eye on the details of how all this comes together. You don’t often see a sudden 180 like this unless there’s more to the story."...
