It’s the first White House wedding with a president’s granddaughter as the bride, and the first one ever on the South Lawn. Naomi Biden walks to the White House in Washington, D.C. with first lady Jill Biden and President Joe Biden on Oct. 11, 2021. The couple, who have been living at the White House, was set up by a mutual friend about four years ago in New York City and have been together ever since, the White House said. The White House announced the wedding in a statement following the small, private wedding in the Rose Garden. The White House Correspondents Association, which advocates for press access to the White House and the president, said it was “deeply disappointed” that the White House declined its request for press coverage of Naomi Biden’s wedding.

Ronald Reagan was 77 when he left the White House, but President Joe Biden, who turns 80 on Nov. 20, would be 86 by the time a second four-year term ends, should he win it. About a quarter of Republicans, 26%, think Trump may not be up for 2024 because of his age. Political affiliation aside, 68% of people surveyed think Biden may not be up for the challenge two years from now, and 49% say the same about Trump. Some 86% of Americans said they believe the cutoff for serving as president should be age 75 or younger, the poll found. Some Biden supporters said they admired Democrats' success under Biden, but were still uncertain about a possible next term.

New York CNN Business —Tuesday’s midterm elections come at a time of economic vulnerability for the United States. Americans are feeling the pain of rising interest rates and are facing a winter filled with geopolitical tension. If Republicans get the House, tax hikes are dead in the water,” said David Wagner, a portfolio manager with Aptus Capital Advisors. Biden’s stock market record is the second worst since Jimmy CarterThe stock market under President Biden started with a boom, but as we head into midterm elections, markets are going bust, reports my colleague Matt Egan. By contrast, Biden’s two immediate predecessors headed into their first midterm election with stock markets surging.

☆ Biden’s stock market record so far is the second worst since Jimmy Carter
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-07 | by ( Matt Egan | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

New York CNN Business —The stock market started the Biden era with a boom. Entering Monday, the S&P 500 advanced just 13.2% since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021. Of course, the stock market is not the economy, nor should it be viewed as a barometer to govern towards. Slammed by the Fed’s all-out war on inflation, the S&P 500 is down 20% this year, on track for its worst year since 2008. The underperformance of the stock market under Biden matters because many Americans have exposure to stocks, either directly or indirectly in their 401(k) and pension plans.

☆ What Sandra Day O’Connor Stood For on the Supreme Court - The New York Times
▼ + stars: | 2021-09-23 | by ( Linda Greenhouse | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

This was published in 2021 to mark the 40th anniversary of Sandra Day O’Connor taking a seat on the Supreme Court. Forty years ago this Saturday, on Sept. 25, 1981, Sandra Day O’Connor took her seat on the Supreme Court. Most people in the United States today were not yet born on that early fall afternoon when Sandra O’Connor took the oath of office and ended 191 years of an all-male Supreme Court. The history of her appointment is not the only reason to think today about Sandra O’Connor, who retired 15 years ago and is now, at 91, living with dementia. At a time when the Supreme Court’s behavior seems to embody and even to amplify the country’s polarization, it’s worth reflecting on the path she took during her quarter-century on the court.
