Biden faces fresh signs of doubt about his candidacy

 


  • Actor and Democratic megadonor George Clooney called on President Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race in a blistering op-ed, saying the Biden he encountered at a fundraiser three weeks ago was diminished compared to the version of the president he knew years ago.
  • Colorado’s Michael Bennet is the first Democratic senator to publicly say that he doesn’t believe Biden is capable of winning reelection after his disastrous debate performance last month. Several House Democrats have also publicly called on Biden to drop out of the race.

  • The Republican National Convention, where the GOP will nominate Trump as its presidential candidate, kicks off next week in Milwaukee. The convention’s platform committee has overwhelmingly passed the new Trump-aligned Republican platform, which softened the party’s language on abortion, a source told CNN.

"Assuming you utilize the expression from Sinatra's melody, 'On the off chance that you can make it there, you can make it anyplace.' So in the event that he could express it to himself that he could do it with Thatcher, he would be prepared and equipped for doing it with any other person," Grachev says. Grachev went with his supervisor to Paris in 1985 for a news gatheri...

Serena Williams US Open Retirement

Make sure you're by a TV Monday night for Serena Williams' first-round match at the U.S. Open. It could be the last time we ever get to see the GOAT in action. Make sure you're by a TV Monday night for Serena Williams' first-round match at the U.S. Open. It very well may be the last time we at any point get to see the GOAT in real life. Catch up speedy: Williams, 40, said earlier this month that she plans to "develop away from tennis" after the U.S. Open. Accordingly, each match could be her last. Up first? World No. 80 Danka Kovinić of Montenegro (7pm ET, ESPN). What they're saying: "When Serena was playing in the past, the atmosphere already was electric, so I can't imagine what it'll be out there currently," said seventeenth seed Caroline Garcia. By the numbers: Williams' dominance has been unmatched since winning her first of an Open Era-record 23 Grand Slam titles at this very tournament 23 years ago, when she was only 17. She or...
