☆ Biden secures Democratic nomination with majority of delegates, NBC News projects

President Joe Biden clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday, NBC News projects, winning a majority of the necessary delegates and setting up what is expected to be a bitter, closely contested rematch with Donald Trump. By clearing the field for the 81-year-old Biden, Democrats have gambled that he remains the party's best shot at defeating Trump one more time. The general election campaign opens with Biden an underdog against an opponent who historians have ranked as the worst president in the nation's history. He ran for the party's nomination in 1988 and again in 2008 and never made headway with rank-and-file Democratic voters. Through sheer persistence, he is now finishing a presidential term while wrapping up his second party nomination in a row.

☆ Voters blame businesses more than Biden for sticky inflation

President Joe Biden is starting to win the inflation blame game against corporations. Still, voters growing frustration with businesses is a relief for the White House and Biden's reelection campaign. The consumer price index released Tuesday found that inflation ticked 0.4% higher in February, mostly matching analysts' expectations. In another welcome data point for Biden, consumer confidence has seen a record turnaround. In a CNBC interview on Monday, Trump slammed Biden's economy and "through the roof" energy and food prices.

Josh Shapiro has a new slogan for how he wants to run Pennsylvania — and it's not fit for kids' ears. “There’s children here, so we’ll just say ‘stuff.’”That was the G-rated version of the line he’s been delivering in recent months. His social media team also has used the phrase online in videos. One of Shapiro's fellow Pennsylvania Democrats, U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, cussed routinely on social media while on his way to winning the Senate seat in 2022. Still, Fetterman — known for his blunt and irreverent talk — generally confined his profanities to his writings on social media when describing his disdain for, say, Pennsylvania's relatively low minimum wage.
