“Now the American people will have to do what the court should have been willing to do and would not: Americans will have to render a judgment about Donald Trump’s behavior,” Biden said. In four minutes, Biden, 81, encapsulated the two increasingly grave and urgent choices facing voters in November. “The American people must decide (whether) Trump’s embrace of violence to preserve his power is acceptable. “THE SUPREME COURT DECISION IS A MUCH MORE POWERFUL ONE THAN SOME HAD EXPECTED IT TO BE.

Read previewDemocrats are still trying to pick up the pieces from President Joe Biden's poor debate performance last week. Biden himself sought to reassure donors of his continued viability during a series of campaign fundraising events on Saturday. And during a pre-planned gathering at Camp David, The New York Times reported that Biden's relatives encouraged him to remain in the race. On Sunday, Biden's family relayed their support for the president by urging him to stay in the presidential race, according to The Times. But Biden's Friday rally in the state was a reflection that he's here to stay and he's not going to be easily dislodged from office.

☆ Biden’s New Post-Debate Ad: ‘When You Get Knocked Down, You Get Back Up’

President Biden’s campaign will begin airing a new 60-second television ad in key battleground states on Monday as the presumptive Democratic nominee seeks to recover from a stilted debate performance last week in Atlanta that has shaken his standing in the 2024 race. The ad, provided to The New York Times ahead of its first airing, doesn’t show footage of Mr. Biden’s hoarse, halting delivery before an audience of more than 50 million at Thursday’s debate. Instead, the ad features narration by Mr. Biden that is culled entirely from the rally that his campaign staged the next day in North Carolina. At that event, Mr. Biden, with the top two buttons of his dress shirt open under his suit jacket, gave the kind of energetic performance that allies had been hoping for the night before. With dramatic music pulsing in the background, the ad begins with attacks on former President Donald J. Trump before Mr. Biden, 81, pivots to acknowledging his own limitations.

Democratic Party grandees, meanwhile, crowded onto Sunday talk shows to try to turn attention away from Biden’s confused and painful debate showing and to put the spotlight back on Trump. But any set of bad polls showing an already-tough reelection bid was seriously damaged by the debate could trigger panic again. The ferocious counterattack by Biden’s campaign, however, is not answering fundamental questions posed in the aftermath of a debate that shattered confidence in Biden’s capacity to beat Trump for many of his fellow Democrats. Voters saw Biden’s reduced and poignant state with their own eyes. Biden campaign manager Jennifer O’Malley Dillon even blamed any poor forthcoming polls on the media and not the president.

☆ Biden Will Give Remarks on the Supreme Court’s Immunity Ruling

President Biden will respond on Monday night to the Supreme Court’s ruling on immunity for former President Donald J. Trump, White House officials said, his first public remarks since hunkering down at Camp David amid calls from some Democrats to drop out of the 2024 election. The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that Mr. Trump has significant immunity against prosecution on charges of trying to overturn the 2020 election. A spokesman for the White House Counsel’s Office said earlier that “as President Biden has said, nobody is above the law.”Mr. Biden’s response to the ruling is likely to signal how his campaign will handle the issue of Mr. Trump’s criminal cases, which have been a central part of the president’s argument for re-election. During a rally on Friday, he cited the numerous court cases against Mr. Trump as proof that he is a “one-man crime wave.”But the president’s appearance in Cross Hall, the stately venue used for many previous addresses to the nation, will be closely watched for the president’s vigor and mental acuity in the wake of his disastrous debate performance in Atlanta on Thursday.

The USMNT are out of the Copa America on the final night of Group C.A much-debated Mathias Olivera goal for Uruguay put them behind on the night and coupled with Panama beating Bolivia in the other game on the night saw them progress through alongside Uruguay. Uruguay win Group C with Panama advancing alongside them in second place. The USMNT suffered a shock defeat to Panama on Thursday to leave their chances of progression beyond the group in doubt. For the USMNT to advance to the knockout phase, their result against Uruguay in their final group-stage game needed to match or better Panama’s result against Bolivia. In the event of a tie on points at the end of the group goal difference is the first tiebreaker before goals scored and then head-to-head record.

CNN —Joe Biden’s family on Sunday encouraged the president to stay in the 2024 race and privately discussed whether top aides should be fired on the heels of Biden’s stunningly poor debate performance, which has thrown his campaign into turmoil. Biden’s family, including first lady Jill Biden, son Hunter Biden and their grandchildren, convened at Camp David for a previously scheduled get-together and implored the president to keep fighting in his bid for reelection, Biden advisers told CNN. Biden, however, is known for being loyal to and protective of his close advisers, and does not like to fire aides. The admiration and support that Biden’s family showed the president Sunday mirrored the first lady’s effusive public praise for her husband in recent days. The opinion of Biden’s family would be crucial in determining his political future – even more so than the president’s famously insular inner circle of top advisers.

Facebook Groups are a popular forum for recruiting shadow stand-ins, providing a two-sided marketplace where workers and providers can connect to one another. The dustup highlighted a key drawback to shadow stand-ins: While alluring, things can go horribly wrong. "It required a lot of micromanaging," said a backend engineer in Pennsylvania who hired shadow stand-ins to help him juggle multiple jobs. Pay rates for shadow stand-ins are "definitely more than what people earn in their regular payday, that's for sure," he said.

President Biden knew immediately after stepping off the stage in Atlanta on Thursday night that the debate had gone wrong. In those first stricken moments after a raspy, rambling and at times incoherent performance, he turned to his wife, Jill Biden. “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence,” Mr. Trump said when Mr. Biden blundered an answer on immigration. They acknowledge her unique influence and power in his life, but they say Mr. Biden is in control of his own campaign. But as long as Mr. Biden wants to run, advisers say, she will support him.

☆ Nothing to See Here? White House Portrays Biden’s Debate Performance as a Blip

Seventy-two hours after the debate in Atlanta last week, President Biden and those closest to him have settled on the same strategy police officers use to shoo bystanders away from a car crash: “Nothing to see here.”According to the talking points being repeated by the president’s aides and surrogates, the debate was a 90-minute blip in a long campaign. Mr. Biden didn’t have “a great night,” as he told donors Saturday, but fund-raising is going strong and he has already bounced back. Aides have been pushing a similar message for more than a year, as polls have shown that voters are worried about the president’s age. They have brushed off such concerns, calling them little more than a creation of the media and the MAGA movement supporting the campaign of former President Donald J. Trump. Jen O’Malley Dillon, the president’s top campaign strategist, said on Saturday that any drop in the polls would be the result of “overblown media narratives.” Senator John Fetterman, Democrat of Pennsylvania, dismissed anxiety about the president’s performance, saying on “Fox News Sunday” that “it’s like one debate.”

The Biden campaign has raised $27 million starting from the day of the first presidential debate through Friday evening, a campaign spokesperson announced on Saturday. The Biden campaign, the Democratic National Convention, and Biden PACs and committees jointly raised $85 million in May, lagging behind Trump's $141 million haul in the same month that the former president was convicted on 34 felony charges. The Biden campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment about how much of this new fundraising came from grassroots donors online versus higher-dollar donors. Biden supporters, including former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton have tried to spin the debate by recognizing, rather than ignoring the president's debate blunders while also asking voters to look past them.

I cannot remember a more heartbreaking moment in American presidential campaign politics in my lifetime — precisely because of what it revealed: Joe Biden, a good man and a good president, has no business running for re-election. And Donald Trump, a malicious man and a petty president, has learned nothing and forgotten nothing. The Biden family and political team must gather quickly and have the hardest of conversations with the president, a conversation of love and clarity and resolve.

One group of health insurance stocks appeared to be rallying on the notion that President Joe Biden's poor debate performance on Thursday night would bring another term for former President Donald Trump. RBC analyst Ben Hendrix chalks up Friday's rally in Medicare Advantage stocks on the thesis that "a second Trump term would ease regulatory and reimbursement headwinds weighing on the managed care stocks, particularly the Medicare Advantage leaders," such as UnitedHealth , Humana and CVS Health .
