"That was unique," Ronald Rowe Jr., the acting director of the Secret Service, said Friday. The Secret Service has faced intense scrutiny in the wake of the incident. The Secret Service initially blamed local law enforcement but later conceded it was ultimately the agency's responsibility to ensure the building was covered. Secret Service personnel were in one command post, with a member of the Pennsylvania State Police, and their local partners were in an entirely separate space. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned last month in the wake of the attack and after a contentious House hearing about the attempt.

Instead, Biden’s campaign unraveled over the course of the next 24 days. It’s a high-risk, high-reward gamble for Democrats, resetting a campaign Biden was losing with a new nominee just 107 days before the election. Dunn and her husband, Bob Bauer, were among Biden’s debate prep team and had faced the ire of the president’s family in the aftermath of the debate. Several news outlets, including CNN, reported that Pelosi and former President Barack Obama had privately expressed concerns about the future of Biden’s campaign. That same day, ABC News reported that Schumer told Biden in their Saturday meeting that it would be best if he bowed out of the presidential race.

☆ 'We're close to the end': Biden world braces for the possibility that the president steps aside

Top allies have either publicly or privately called on him to step aside. "We're close to the end," a person close to Biden said. That person, who previously doubted Biden would ever step aside, acknowledged that it's the president's decision but joined in the array of Biden allies who say he is nearing a point of no return. "The president is feeling fine, he is self-isolating in Delaware," Quentin Fulks, principal deputy campaign manager for the Biden campaign, said at a news conference in Milwaukee. "Our campaign is not working through any scenarios where President Biden is not the top of the ticket.

Joe Scarborough, speaking alongside co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist, offered viewers a peek behind the curtain into the conspicuous decision-making process that transpired over the weekend. Without “Morning Joe” airing on Monday, viewers rebelled against MSNBC, opting to change the channel, Nielsen data indicated. The move to bench the “Morning Joe” crew, after all, didn’t happen in a vacuum. Which is why, perhaps, Comcast is involved in cleaning up the “Morning Joe” mess. I’m told that the company’s president, Mike Cavanagh, rescheduled meetings on Tuesday to grapple with the fallout stemming from the “Morning Joe” commentary.

At the end of the interview, Biden asked Holt to come and talk to him sometime about "what we should be talking about." Similarly, in that interview, Biden was soft-spoken and misspoke at times.

Last week, Pelosi was seen openly talking to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in the House Democratic cloakroom, Martin reported, citing a Pelosi colleague who saw the exchange.

Democrats have been planning for weeks to conclude Biden’s nomination process before August 7 – well before the Chicago convention next month. But even as those entreaties are being made daily behind the scenes, plans are being made to solidify his standing with the help of party rules in the Democratic convention process. Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison pushed back on any suggestion that attempts might be underway within the DNC to accelerate the virtual roll call. “Fourteen million people voted for me to be the nominee in the Democratic Party. “That’s the democratic process,” Biden said of the ability of delegates to change their mind, before adding confidently: “It’s not going to happen.”This story has been updated with additional reporting.

Mr. Biden will speak at an NAACP conference on Tuesday and a UnidosUS conference on Wednesday, even as Mr. Trump and his party hold the Republican convention in Milwaukee.

President Biden said on Monday it was “a mistake” to say that he wanted to put former President Donald J. Trump back in “a bull’s-eye” but defended his descriptions of his rival in the 2024 election as a threat to the foundations of the nation’s democracy. “Do you just not say anything because it may incite somebody?” he asked. The president’s comments come just two days after a would-be assassin shot at Mr. Trump at a rally in western Pennsylvania, grazing the former president’s ear and killing one of his supporters. Republicans have accused Mr. Biden of stoking violence against Mr. Trump, pointing to a comment that the president made last week to donors. He told them that “we’re done talking about the debate; it’s time to put Trump in a bull’s-eye.”

U.S. President Joe Biden delivers remarks following the incident that occurred at a campaign rally for former U.S. President Donald Trump, in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, U.S., July 13, 2024. President Joe Biden said he should not have used the language, "put Trump in the bullseye," a remark he made to donors in a private call days before the attempted assassination of Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally. "It was a mistake to use the word," Biden said, according to excerpts of a Monday interview with NBC News' Lester Holt. "Look, I have not engaged in that rhetoric," Biden said. The Monday interview comes as Biden works to rehabilitate his political image following his disastrous debate performance against Trump in June.

Mr. Holt’s coverage ran on MSNBC immediately after the shooting on Saturday and he was scheduled to interview Mr. Biden on Monday. The person said staff members were surprised on Monday when MSNBC ran programming from its digital news service, NBC News Now, instead of the main NBC News show, “Today,” which was not pre-empted. A spokesman for MSNBC denied that NBC had made the programming change because of political considerations. In a statement, the network said: “Given the gravity and complexity of this unfolding story, NBC News, NBC News NOW and MSNBC have remained in rolling breaking news coverage since Saturday evening.

Washington CNN —President Joe Biden was bracing for a week of political onslaught. When gunshots rang out at a Donald Trump political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Saturday evening, much of that appeared to change. He also addressed the nation from the Oval Office, calling for a lowering of the political temperature. “I think it should,” one close Biden ally told CNN when asked if that may end up being a result of Saturday’s attack. But those expected discussions were quickly eclipsed by the response to the assassination attempt on Biden’s predecessor and political opponent.

Stunned Biden campaign officials huddled and decided to pause all outbound communications and pull down TV ads. The campaign urged staff in a memo to “refrain from issuing any comments on social media or in public.” Sources described the mood within the White House and the Biden campaign as “shock” as they put their response into motion.

In another danger sign for Biden’s candidacy, one Democratic strategist told CNN, “Everything is frozen because no one knows what’s going to happen. The deepening crisis gripping the Democratic Party is not simply damaging Biden’s chances of clinging to the nomination.
