Amazon is testing news with a Brian Williams election-night special on Prime Video. AdvertisementAmazon is getting closer to jumping into news coverage with an election-night special hosted by Brian Williams. "Election Night Live with Brian Williams" will air on Prime Video at 5 p.m. "Election Night Live" is a gamble for Amazon, which has no history in news. A one-off news program is in keeping with its strategy of getting into live event programming like sports and live shopping, though.

☆ Biden’s verbal slip-ups over dead European leaders put the focus on his most potent political weakness: His age

Two verbal slip-ups in the last few days are again bringing the concerns about the president’s cognition to the forefront. A January NBC poll of 1,000 registered voters found that three quarters of all voters, including half of Democrats, had concerns about Biden’s physical or mental health. The White House did not immediately provide a response to this story. In last year’s physical, Biden’s physician said an “extremely detailed” neurologic exam found no findings that would be consistent with stroke, multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease. As with his previous physical in 2021, the White House did not say whether Biden underwent any cognitive tests, which some doctors recommend for older adults.
