E1919: Biden vs. Trump: First Historic Debate Showdown of the Election Cycle 6/24/24 | Wayne Dupree

You probably remember Barack Obama’s “Yes, We Can.” But do you remember Herbert Hoover’s campaign slogan? How about FDR’s?

Deadly Kenyan protests that scuppered tax hikes and a failed coup amid fading economic prospects in Bolivia this week are violent reminders of the dangers posed by faltering economies and punishing austerity measures. Bolivia's President and former economy minister Luis Arce fended off the putsch on Wednesday, but faces ongoing U.S. dollar shortages and soaring borrowing costs that pushed the country's credit rating to "junk."

The White House Correspondents’ Association blasted CNN on Thursday in a last-ditch attempt to expand access to the evening’s first presidential debate of 2024 to reporters outside the network. The debate between President Biden and former President Donald Trump was brokered by the campaigns and will be different from past showdowns in its lack of an audience and the muting of microphones when a speaker’s time is up. The move means TV viewers may entirely miss off-mic remarks and that...

Earlier this month Shelby Busch — chair of Arizona’s delegation to the Republican convention — was in court trying to learn the identities of local elections workers and said under oath that she was unaware of any threats that had been made against the people who helped run the last presidential election and the midterm election that followed.

The blockbuster showdown, which takes place months earlier than normal and outside of the traditional bounds of the Commission on Presidential Debates, will mark the first time the two men have been in the same room together since 2020.

The first presidential debate of the 2024 election is hours away, with CNN set to play host at one of its studios in Atlanta. But as the clock ticks down to 9 p.m., multiple journalism groups are weighing in publicly, asking CNN to expand access to coverage of the event. While the debate will be widely available in real-time, the issue in question is about access inside CNN’s building and studios in Atlanta.

When he faces President Joe Biden in Thursday’s debate, former President Donald Trump will have to watch his tongue. Trump is still bound by multiple court-imposed gag orders that limit what he can say about his sprawling portfolio of legal troubles. Those restrictions could prove a hindrance for Trump if he is put on the spot about his recent felony conviction in New York, or the dozens of other criminal charges against him in state and federal courts....
