☆ Trump triumphant as Biden descends into a deepening crisis
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-18 | by ( Stephen Collinson | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +12 min

Milwaukee CNN —Donald Trump will pull off his greatest feat yet as Joe Biden confronts his darkest hour. The 45th president’s comeback will only be fully realized if he becomes the second one-term president to win a return to the White House in November. But that’s one reason why his campaign is pulling its punches on Biden in the hope he stays in the race. President Joe Biden gestures to reporters as he steps off Air Force One upon arrival at Dover Air Force Base on July 17, 2024. After Trump escaped the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, his campaign has leveraged the aftermath to reshape his image.

Vance’s Republican National Convention speech capped a night Republicans spent prosecuting what they see as President Joe Biden’s biggest foreign policy failures and their consequences. Republicans used Wednesday night to introduce Vance and his life story to the nation. You owe President Trump answers!” Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn shouted at Cheatle, who continued to walk with her head down and ignore the senators’ criticism. Energy security and energy policy are in the governor’s comfort zone and that was on full display Wednesday night. When Trump finally did call Burgum, the former president told Burgum he would not be his running mate.

For the last eight years, President Trump has given everything he has to fight for the people of our country. And then President Trump flew to Milwaukee and got back to work. A leader who rejects Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s Green New Scam and fights to bring back our great American factories. President Trump represents America’s last best hope to restore what — if lost — may never be found again. And every single day for the next four years, when I walk into that White House to help President Trump, I will be doing it for you.

All of a sudden, Tucker Carlson has roared back to the forefront of Republican politics. Once the top-rated anchor on Fox News — only to be abruptly ousted 15 months ago, his national platform yanked out from under his feet — Mr. Carlson has made an improbable re-emergence into America’s living rooms at this week’s Republican National Convention. He is even returning to prime time: Mr. Carlson is set to deliver a televised address to the convention on Thursday in a coveted slot shortly before Mr. Trump accepts his party’s nomination. Mr. Carlson once electrified Fox viewers with racial grievances and flimflam conspiracy theories. But behind the scenes over the past year, Mr. Carlson has become more deeply allied with Mr. Trump than at any point in his long relationship with the former president, a man for whom the broadcaster once expressed deep ambivalence.

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump couldn't be farther apart when it comes to climate action. Trump and his pick for vice president, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, are both climate deniers. By contrast, the Democrats unveiled a platform that said it would build on the Biden administration's unprecedented spending on renewable energy and the green workforce while cracking down on the oil-and-gas industry. The center conducted the survey with the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication. The majority of Americans support climate actionMaibach said the shift among Republicans shouldn't distract from the fact that the majority of Americans support many of Biden's climate policies.

Five days after a gunman tried to assassinate him at a political rally, former President Donald J. Trump on Thursday night described his personal experience of the shooting as he formally accepted the Republican Party’s presidential nomination and called on Americans to see in him a unifier. “As you already know, the assassin’s bullet came within a quarter of an inch of taking my life,” Mr. Trump said at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. He was lucky, he said, he had not turned further. “I’m not supposed to be here tonight,” Mr. Trump said. The crowd, devoted fans of a man they had nominated to be their presidential candidate, responded in unison by chanting, “Yes, you are.”

A full public assessment of Trump’s injuries is necessary, for both the former president’s own health and the clarity it can provide for voters about the recovery of the man who could become president of the United States once again. US Rep. Ronny Jackson, Trump’s former White House physician, said during an interview Monday on “The Benny Show” podcast, that he “checked out” the wound to Trump’s ear and bandaged it himself. We have worked with the Secret Service in the past and local and federal law enforcement to come up with plans about if an incident like this happened,” Rottinghaus told CNN. In the Monday interview, Jackson said Trump’s injury was “dressed up. Rottinghaus, the Butler Memorial physician, told CNN that after all the preparation for the unthinkable, “the unexpected happened” on Saturday.

Republican presidential candidate, former U.S. President Donald Trump walks onstage before the start of the third day of the Republican National Convention in the Fiserv Forum on July 17, 2024 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Donald Trump reportedly does not plan to mention President Joe Biden by name during his speech accepting the presidential nomination at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. But the plan underscores the growing uncertainty that Biden will be the Democratic presidential nominee in November who faces Trump. Fox reported that Trump, who left the White House in January 2021, intends during his hour-plus-long speech to refer to the "current administration" or the "current leadership." One man was killed in the attack, and two other men were critically injured.

Republican senators, including a member of the Senate’s leadership, accosted the director of the Secret Service in a suite at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night, demanding that she resign or provide a full explanation for the security lapses that led to the near-miss assassination attempt against former President Donald J. Trump. Senators John Barrasso of Wyoming, the third-ranking Senate Republican, and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee aggressively confronted the agency’s director, Kimberly A. Cheatle, at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. A staff member for one of the senators videotaped the confrontation and sent it to a reporter. “You put him within less than an inch of his life,” Mr. Barrasso said to Ms. Cheatle, almost yelling. “So resignation or full explanation.”

☆ While Republicans Put on a Show of Unity, Democrats Wrestle With Their Own Rift

What might have been surprising was which party would fit which role. Even as Republicans meeting in Milwaukee put on a show of unity for former President Donald J. Trump, Democrats are still stewing over President Biden’s insistence on staying in the race and in some cases even plotting how to press him to step aside. The assassination attempt against Mr. Trump last weekend diverted attention from the Democratic discord but did not solve the problem. Indeed, many Democrats are just as convinced as ever that Mr. Biden cannot beat Mr. Trump and should step aside in favor of a candidate who might have a better chance. Mr. Schiff’s decision was especially noteworthy because he is a close ally of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The two became close friends, a relationship that helped Vance earn Trump’s endorsement in a contested primary for an open Ohio Senate seat. As a senator, Vance quickly won over the thought leaders of Trump’s populist movement.

WASHINGTON — House Speaker Mike Johnson and other top Republicans are calling for the resignation of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle days after a gunman tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally. FBI Director Christopher Wray, Deputy Director Paul Abbate, as well as Secret Service Deputy Director Ronald Rowe are on the list of briefers. The most critical, perhaps, is why was the roof of a building within 150 yards of Trump was not secured by the Secret Service or local law enforcement. They also want to know why Secret Service snipers on another roof in the area didn't engage the shooter until after Crooks had fired multiple times. I am the director of the Secret Service."

At one point, Biden told Crow, “I don’t want to hear that crap” in addressing the lawmaker’s concerns.

Following the horrific shooting at the Pennsylvania rally, Trump and his campaign team have been talking about calling for unity and saying they’re going to focus more on that. Vance is not a unity pick. He is not who you would reach for if you were really trying to bring together lots of different pieces of the electorate.

Giuliani only appears to have a portion of that amount in his personal bank account, which keeps being depleted to pay other bills, Wednesday’s federal court proceedings in White Plains, New York, revealed. Giuliani has been slow to disclose what cash he has on hand in liquid accounts, and hasn’t been fully transparent, the judge has found. Last Friday, Giuliani’s bankruptcy protection ended, and creditors such as the 2020 election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss are now able to pursue his $10 million net worth. He told Giuliani’s lawyers they had until Thursday at “high noon; that’s appropriately theatrical” to notify the court of a plan for Giuliani to resolve his bills. “If your client persists in this course of action, there are a lot of bad things that can happen,” Lane told Giuliani’s attorneys on Wednesday.

Ethereum co-creator Vitalik Buterin on Wednesday cautioned against voting for political candidates based solely on whether they have adopted a "pro-crypto" stance. The best example of this is, predictably, modern Russia," added Buterin, a Russia-born coder who built ethereum in his late teens. Buterin did not single out any names in his post of either political candidates, or of those opting to support them. It comes in stark contrast to the Joe Biden White House, which has been seen as hard on crypto. However, the perception that Biden is anti-crypto and Trump is pro-crypto has some Biden allies concerned enough to take their case directly to senior White House officials.
