The Biden campaign is sounding alarms about deportations and detention camps during a possible second term for former President Trump, whose former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director, Thomas Homan, is expected to speak at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night.   “Nothing spells unity or American values like putting the architect of family separation, Tom Homan, on in primetime during the Republican National Convention. Americans...

President Joe Biden is reportedly mulling a decision to step aside from the 2024 presidential race as a new poll has deepened a dilemma involving Vice President Kamala Harris. On Wednesday evening, CNN's Jeff Zeleny reported that a senior Democratic adviser has said that the president, who was diagnosed with COVID earlier in the day, has become "more receptive" to calls for him to step down. "I'm told now he is asking questions saying, 'Do you think Kamala can win?'"...

The Biden administration is highlighting a considerable drop in arrests on the US southern border as Republican National Convention speakers seek to cast the president as weak on immigration and crime. Arrests along the US southern border dropped 29% in June, according to new data released by US Customs and Border Protection, following the Biden administration’s order severely limiting asylum-seeker crossings. June arrests totaled just over 83,000, the lowest since President Joe...

As President Joe Biden flies back to Delaware from Las Vegas on Wednesday night, cutting his trip short after testing positive for Covid-19, he faces one of the most momentous decisions of his long political life: Should he heed the rising calls from his fellow Democrats to extinguish his bid for reelection? For Biden, is it a new moment? Even though anger and panic have been steadily rising inside the Democratic Party for nearly three weeks, after the president’s...

President Biden is now being “receptive” behind closed doors about the possibility of giving up his 2024 re-election campaign, according to a senior Democratic adviser. The 81-year-old president, who tested positive for COVID-19 Wednesday, has so far been adamant that he will remain in the race for the White House — despite repeated calls from Democrats for him to step aside in the wake of his train wreck debate three weeks ago. “He’s being receptive. Not as defiant as he is...

Even before former and potentially future President Donald Trump selected Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) as his running mate earlier this week at the RNC, there was chatter about a vice presidential debate between that pick and Vice President Kamala Harris. Back in May, Harris and CBS News threw out some ideas for such a debate to take place on July 23 or August 13. As the Trump campaign revealed on Wednesday night, though they're not going to commit to any such debates at this time.  "...

Former President Donald Trump’s newly selected running mate, JD Vance, accepted the Republican Party’s vice presidential nomination on the convention’s third night, which featured claims about the economy, immigration and foreign policy. Vance wrongly said that workers’ wages “stagnated” for much of his life until they “went through the roof” under Trump. Inflation-adjusted wages had been rising over several presidencies before Trump took office. Vance said “Trump was right” to oppose “...

President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance set off a heated argument among California delegates to the Democratic nominating convention, exposing deep anxiety among party leaders in the nation’s largest state — and a profound lack of confidence in Biden as a general election candidate. The emotionally charged exchanges unraveled in invite-only channels, including a Facebook group for convention delegates called the 2024 California DNC Delegate Group. The debate spilled into a...

On the menu today: J. D. Vance knocked it out of the park in his convention address last night; too bad he was knocking it out of the park in the name of protectionism, populism, nationalism, industrial policy, and quasi-isolationism. But let’s pause to recognize Vance’s amazingly wide range of life experience, and note that if Vance were a Democrat, his life story is all we would be hearing about him. Great Speech, Masterfully Delivered! I Hated It Milwaukee — There is a good chance...
