On MSNBC Monday, Steve Kornacki, the network’s national political correspondent, gave a breakdown of Vice President Kamala Harris’s polling performance as she steps into the spotlight following President Joe Biden’s decision not to seek reelection.

Speaking with Rachel Maddow, Kornacki painted a picture of an uphill battle for Harris, comparing her to both Biden and their mutual potential competitor, Donald Trump. Kornacki noted that unlike in 2020, when Biden consistently led Trump in polls, the tables have turned with Trump now leading in recent averages.

“The same polls that produce this average since the debate in the Biden-Trump race, what do they show when Harris is substituted in?” Kornacki asked. “A difference, but it’s a difference of a point. Biden at 45, Harris in these same polls, an average 46%. Trump 47% in both of them.”

“Joe Biden, this is the average when you ask that question. Do you have a favorable, unfavorable view? Biden, 36, 57, been seeing numbers like this for a long time with him. Obviously, these are very perilous numbers. What are they for Kamala Harris? Average from the same set of polls… 57 comes down to 52,” he explained.

WATCH:

As Harris gears up for the official launch of her campaign, the Democrat Party faces the challenge of quickly consolidating support around her. On Sunday Joe Biden said he will not only finish his term but also address the nation later this week amid swirling speculation about the Democratic nomination for the presidential race.

(VOTE NOW: Should SS Director Cheatle RESIGN Immediately?)

Following Biden’s withdrawal and his subsequent endorsement, a surge of optimism has reportedly spread among House Democrats. They believe Harris could revitalize a campaign that, until now, was heavily tilting in favor of former President Trump. As the Democratic National Convention, slated for August 19-22 in Chicago, Illinois, approaches, the party appears to be attempting to rally. The number of Democratic leaders endorsing Harris has also been rapidly increasing. While it remains to be seen whether Harris will secure the nomination outright, the growing endorsements from delegations are a clear sign of momentum. Biden’s endorsement has evidently catalyzed the party, positioning Harris as a key figure capable of carrying the Democratic banner into the next election.

According to recent polling data from Decision Desk HQ and The Hill, Trump, who just last week formally accepted the Republican nomination, still holds an edge over Harris. In a national aggregate of polls, Trump garners 47% support compared to Harris’s 45%. The margin mirrors Trump’s lead over Biden before he exited the race—Trump led by approximately 2.5 points, capturing 46% to Biden’s 43.5%.

On Monday morning Trump wrote about the developing situation on Truth Social: “The Democrats pick a candidate, Crooked Joe Biden, he loses the Debate badly, then panics, and makes mistake after mistake, is told he can’t win, and decide they will pick another candidate, probably Harris. They stole the race from Biden after he won it in the primaries — A First! These people are the real THREAT TO DEMOCRACY!”

The coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether the Democrats can unify behind Harris and craft a campaign capable of capturing the White House.

Days after a harrowing assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a political rally, chilling new details have emerged about the suspect, Thomas Matthew Crooks. Investigators revealed that Crooks had scouted the rally location twice before the incident and found images of both Trump and President Joe Biden on his phone. The motive behind the attack remains shrouded in mystery.

Authorities are probing Crooks’ digital footprint, which included marked dates for the Democratic National Convention and various Trump events. However, the implications of these searches are still unclear, according to U.S. officials.

Just before the shooting, Crooks’ last online search was for pornography. This was discovered when the FBI managed to break into the 20-year-old’s encrypted Samsung phone, a senior law enforcement official disclosed to The Daily Beast.

Previous attempts to access the Android device at the Pittsburgh field office were unsuccessful, prompting a transfer of the phone to Quantico for further examination by agents. The only other recent activity detected on the phone were texts from Crooks’ parents inquiring about his whereabouts.

The Daily Beast reported:

The last search Thomas Crooks made on his cell phone before attempting to assassinate Donald Trump was for pornography, a senior law enforcement source tells the Daily Beast.

The source, who asks not to be named, said the FBI’s Operational Technology Division in Quantico, Va., made the discovery when it finally gained access to the contents of 20-year-old Crooks’ encrypted Samsung phone. Initial attempts at the Pittsburgh field office to crack open the Android failed and the device was flown to Quantico on an FBI plane.

The only other recent activity on the phone which the FBI discovered were texts from his parents asking where he was. The source says the parents thought their son had taken the AR-style rifle and gone to the shooting range where he sometimes practiced.

The FBI recovered Crooks’ phone from his body, along with four rifle magazines and a remote control capable of detonating the explosives found in his car. He was on the roof (top) when he fired at Trump, who was on the red carpet covering the stage.

“By 6 pm he was dead,” the source said.

According to the source, the FBI has largely completed its examination of the phone’s contents and is now at work on the gunman’s laptop and a number of hard drives which were recovered from his bedroom.

According to law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation, the phone was also found to contain an array of photos of politicians. This included Democrats’ House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), alongside others like Rudy Giuliani.

The sources, who provided details to CNN, indicated that the majority of these images seem to have been sourced from the internet, and there were no accompanying threats or ominous messages linked to these figures. Further investigations into the shooter’s phone revealed searches stretching back to spring, meticulously tracking the dates and locations of Trump rallies and gathering information on major political conventions.

On Friday, an increasing number of Democrats are urging President Joe Biden not to seek reelection in 2024. Senior officials from the White House and his campaign are reportedly expressing their doubts in private about his continuation in the race.

Despite the concerns, Biden’s campaign confirmed that the president is currently reflective, particularly during his isolation period after testing positive for Covid-19. On “Morning Joe,” Jen O’Malley Dillon, Chair of the Biden-Harris Campaign, reinforced Biden’s determination to stay in the 2024 race despite the growing pressure from his party and many Americans.

“Absolutely the president’s in this race,” O’Malley Dillon said on Friday. “You’ve heard him say that time and time again. And I think we saw on display last night exactly why, because Donald Trump is not going to offer anything new to the American people. He’s the same person he was in 2020. He’s the same person he was at the debate stage.”

“Joe Biden is more committed than ever to beat Donald Trump,” she continued. “We believe on this campaign we are built for the close election that we are in and we see the path forward. The president is a leader of our campaign and of the country and he is clearly, in our impression and what we’ve built and in our engagement with voters, he’s the best person to take on Donald Trump and in our engagement with voters, he’s the best person to take on Donald Trump and prosecute that case and present his vision versus what we saw last night.”

WATCH:

In a Friday interview with WNYC, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) avoided direct answers to questions about Biden’s ability to defeat Trump in the upcoming election. “I’ve made clear that President Joe Biden, Vice President Harris, the Biden-Harris ticket, along with Democrats in the House and the Senate have an incredible track record of support throughout the country,” Jeffries responded when pressed on Biden’s competitiveness against Trump.

He continued to discuss the current administration’s achievements, asserting they are “making a difference in the lives of everyday Americans.”

Several Democratic members of Congress are openly urging Biden to withdraw from the presidential race, voicing doubts about his prospects for reelection. Those who have called for Biden to step aside today include Representatives Sean Casten (D-IL), Chuy Garcia (D-IL), Jared Huffman (D-CA) and Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Marc Veasey (D-TX), Mark Pocan (D-WI), Greg Landsman (D-OH), and Senator Martin Heinrich (D-NM).

“Last night the American people saw the same Donald Trump they rejected four years ago,” Biden said in a statement Thursday night after Trump’s RNC speech. “For over 90 minutes, he focused on his own grievances, with no plan to unite us and no plan to make life better for working people. He avoided mentioning his Project 2025 agenda, but still proudly flaunted the worst of MAGA extremism.”

He continued, “Donald Trump’s dark vision for the future is not who we are as Americans. Together, as a party and as a country, we can and will defeat him at the ballot box. I look forward to getting back on the campaign trail next week to continue exposing the threat of Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda while making the case for my own record and the vision that I have for America: one where we save our democracy, protect our rights and freedoms, and create opportunity for everyone.

Biden finished, “The stakes are high, and the choice is clear. Together, we will win.”

On the final night of the Republican National Convention, as Donald Trump accepted his third GOP nomination, the atmosphere was charged with strong calls for unity. After Trump’s speech, where the former president outlined key campaign promises and reflected on a recent assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania, an unexpected moment quickly shifted the spotlight and captured the hearts of those in attendance.

Just as the applause began to wane after Trump’s speech, the crowd was taken by surprise as Melania Trump made a graceful appearance on stage.

The former first lady, making her first appearance at a major campaign event alongside her husband in this cycle, walked across the convention floor to much applause. Her presence added a personal touch to the evening and also elicited a priceless reaction from the GOP’s 2024 candidate.

Melania surprises Trump on stage at the end of his speech.

Watch his reaction! pic.twitter.com/Wr2URqMMRc

Earlier in the night Melania received a standing ovation as she entered the RNC ahead of Trump’s highly anticipated speech. Dressed in red, she walked to her seat smiling and waving to the crowd.

WATCH:

Melania has kept a notably low profile during her husband’s campaign. Since Trump announced his third bid for the presidency in November 2022, the former first lady has made only two public appearances: the campaign’s inauguration at their Mar-a-Lago estate and a brief visit in March to accompany Trump as he voted in the Florida presidential primary.

On the final night of the Republican National Convention, as Donald Trump accepted his third GOP nomination, the atmosphere was charged with strong calls for unity. After Trump’s speech, where the former president outlined key campaign promises and reflected on a recent assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania, an unexpected moment quickly shifted the spotlight and captured the hearts of those in attendance.

Just as the applause began to wane after Trump’s speech, the crowd was taken by surprise as Melania Trump made a graceful appearance on stage.

The former first lady, making her first appearance at a major campaign event alongside her husband in this cycle, walked across the convention floor to much applause. Her presence added a personal touch to the evening and also elicited a priceless reaction from the GOP’s 2024 candidate.

Earlier in the night Melania received a standing ovation as she entered the RNC ahead of Trump’s highly anticipated speech. Dressed in red, she walked to her seat smiling and waving to the crowd.

WATCH:

Melania has kept a notably low profile during her husband’s campaign. Since Trump announced his third bid for the presidency in November 2022, the former first lady has made only two public appearances: the campaign’s inauguration at their Mar-a-Lago estate and a brief visit in March to accompany Trump as he voted in the Florida presidential primary.

After receiving a subpoena from the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-KY), U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has agreed to testify before the committee on Monday concerning the recent attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

“Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle will testify before the House Committee on Oversight on Monday,” said Secret Service Chief of Communications, Anthony Guglielmi, on Friday. “The Secret Service is fully accountable for the safety of its protectees. We are committed to better understanding what happened before, during, and after the assassination attempt of former President Trump to ensure it never happens again. That includes complete cooperation with Congress, the FBI, and other relevant investigations.”

The decision follows intense scrutiny and public demand for transparency regarding the circumstances that allowed for a security lapse during the incident. “Americans demand accountability and transparency about the Secret Service’s failures that led to the attempted assassination of President Trump, but they aren’t getting that from President Biden’s Department of Homeland Security,” Comer said in a statement two days ago when announcing the subpoena.

The testimony of Director Cheatle is expected to address key questions about the Secret Service’s operations and the specific failures that potentially facilitated the attempt on Trump’s life. Lawmakers are likely to probe into the details of the security protocols in place at the time of the incident, as well as the subsequent measures the agency has taken to ensure such a breach does not occur again.

Investigators have determined that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the man responsible for the assassination attempt, had visited the site twice prior to the incident. He also had images of both Trump and current President Joe Biden stored on his mobile device, though his motives remain unclear. Local Butler authorities revealed to the Secret Service their lack of sufficient personnel to properly secure the building from which Crooks launched his attack.

This comes amidst a backdrop of heightened security for Trump following U.S. intelligence reports of an Iranian plot to assassinate him—claims that Iranian officials have vehemently denied and which appear unrelated to the recent attack.

During last night’s RNC, Trump officially accepted the GOP nomination, delivering a speech that spanned roughly 90 minutes. This marked him as the first major-party presidential nominee to hold such a distinction with a felony conviction on his record.

“I said to myself, ‘Wow, what was that? It can only be a bullet.’ And moved my right hand to my ear, brought it down. My hand was covered with blood, just absolutely blood all over the place. I immediately knew it was very serious, that we were under attack. And in one movement, proceeded to drop to the ground,” Trump recounted.

WATCH:

“Bullets were continuing to fly as very brave Secret Service agents rushed to the stage, and they really did. and they really did. They rushed to the stage,” he continued, prompting the crowd to rise in honor of the agents who evacuated the former president.

Simultaneously, Biden’s campaign faces increasing challenges, with mounting pressures from allies both within and outside his circle, advocating for his withdrawal from the race.

Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) stepped into the national spotlight shortly after being named Donald Trump’s vice-presidential pick, talking about his challenging early life and vouching for his party at this week’s RNC. Following his speech, Vice President Harris blasted Vance, suggesting that his personal narrative detracted from the more significant policy impacts of a Trump-Vance administration.

“It was compelling. It’s a compelling story. But it’s not the full story,” Harris claimed on Wednesday. “Frankly, what is very telling is what he did not talk about on that stage. He did not talk about Project 2025, the 900-page blueprint for a second term. He did not talk about it because their plans are extreme, and they are divisive.”

On Thursday, Tulsi Gabbard slammed Harris after the VP issued her stern warning about Vance’s allegiance, claiming he would prioritize loyalty to Trump over the country.

“The audacity that she has to say this is off the charts,” Gabbard said on X. “She’s talking about J.D. Vance, someone who enlisted in the Marine Corps after the terrorist attack on 9-11, someone who deployed to Iraq in 2005, the same year that I was there during the height of that war, putting his own life on the line in service to our country.”

WATCH:

“Was Kamala Harris willing to put her own life on the line in service to our country at any time in the past? Is she now? No. Kamala Harris is driven by her own political ambition. She’s a self-serving politician who should not be in office,” Gabbard finished.

“He wants to direct attention away from his record and his Project 2025 plan to suggest that he and his running mate are going to prioritize the middle class,” Harris said when discussing Trump earlier this week. “But we are not buying it. As you know, I am a former prosecutor, so let’s look at the facts, shall we?”

Harris and Vance engaged in their first conversation on Tuesday. However, their teams are still ironing out details for an upcoming debate, said three sources familiar with the situation. Speaking anonymously to the Associated Press, they noted that while there has been no breakthrough in resolving differences over the choice of network and debate format, they anticipate that negotiations will kickstart now that Trump has officially chosen Vance, a freshman senator from Ohio.

“Obviously, we want to debate Vice President Harris because it’s important for the American people to see the contrast,” Vance told Newsmax on Tuesday.

On Friday, Harris addressed a gathering of approximately 300 of the Democratic Party’s top donors, aiming to reassure them about Biden’s campaign amidst widespread unease. Many attendees harbored hopes that Harris might step forward as the nominee instead of Biden. However, several donors expressed their disappointment after the meeting, describing it as somewhat condescending and unhelpful, feeling that their genuine concerns about the Biden-led ticket were overlooked.

“I will start by sharing something with all of you,” According to a listener who spoke with The New York Times, Harris told donors, “something I believe in my heart of hearts. It is something I feel strongly you should all hear and should take with you when you leave. And tell your friends, too. We are going to win this election.”

Earlier today a Wikipedia page briefly listed President Joe Biden as a notable individual suffering from dementia on their website. This comes at a time when Biden has been facing intensified worries over his mental fitness.

The entry which has since been changed by Wikipedia editors was captured in screenshots before its removal, a common action of publicly edited platforms. Democrats at all levels have been questioning his capability to lead, especially as he gears up for another demanding election cycle.

Following a disastrous debate performance last month, there have been escalating calls for the President to undergo cognitive testing and to publicly disclose the results.

Despite the controversy, Biden’s campaign has maintained that he is fully prepared to be the president for four more years. However, sources close to the White House suggest that he is taking the calls for him to step down more seriously than before.

Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) conveyed her concerns about Biden’s mental state in a Newsmax interview on Thursday. “The guy doesn’t know where he is, and obviously over the last four years, it has progressed pretty substantially,” Hageman said.

“Clearly, he’s suffering from substantial mental decline. The Democrats knew that, most of the press knew that, but they have been hiding it from the American people. It’s a huge fraud.” She added, “Now they’re suffering the consequences of their horrible, bad acts.”

Before June’s debate, Dr. Ronny Jackson, the White House physician under former Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump, voiced his concerns about Biden’s cognitive abilities.

“I have sent five letters previously asking for President Biden to submit to a cognitive test, very similar to the one that President Trump got while he was president. And all five of those letters have gone completely ignored,” he revealed to Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo.

WATCH:

Several Democratic members of Congress are now openly urging Biden to withdraw from the presidential race, voicing doubts about his prospects for reelection. Those who have called for Biden to step aside today include: Representatives Sean Casten (D-IL), Chuy Garcia (D-IL), Jared Huffman (D-CA) and Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Marc Veasey (D-TX), Mark Pocan (D-WI), Greg Landsman (D-OH), and Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM).

Family members surrounding Biden are reportedly past the point of encouraging him to run out the clock on Democrats’ calls that he exit the race. Instead, they are working with the embattled leader to plan when and how he ends his reelection campaign in the coming days.

NBC News reported that some of the president’s closest family members, including First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and his son Hunter Biden, are working with the patriarch to manage a departure on his own terms. Axios has previously reported that allies believe Biden may break the news as soon as this weekend, though those plans remain fluid, according to two sources close to the White House.

On Friday, Jen O’Malley Dillon, Chair of the Biden-Harris Campaign, reinforced Biden’s determination to stay in the race. “Absolutely the president’s in this race,” she said.

WATCH:

“You’ve heard him say that time and time again. And I think we saw on display last night exactly why, because Donald Trump is not going to offer anything new to the American people. He’s the same person he was in 2020. He’s the same person he was at the debate stage.”

The latest from renowned pollster Nate Silver has given an update on the political landscape in the ever-unpredictable world of American politics. With just over a few months until the 2024 presidential election, Silver’s newest forecast unveiled a potentially game-changing shift in the race.

For those closely monitoring the polls, the latest update from Silver Bulletin, the successor to Silver’s famed FiveThirtyEight election forecast, presented a startling picture. According to Silver, this week has brought on a dramatic surge in support for former President Donald Trump, a trend that could redefine the dynamics of the upcoming election.

As Silver succinctly put it, “We’re seeing a lot of bad polling numbers for Joe Biden over the past 24 hours — although to be more precise, what we’re really seeing is Trump’s numbers spiking while Biden’s remain depressed.”

With Trump now enjoying a renewed wave of support, Joe Biden finds himself at a critical juncture. The latest data from Silver’s model shows Biden’s chances of winning the Electoral College have plummeted to 26 percent.

Today’s model update. A lot of polling in since yesterday, and we’re seeing an unmistakable spike for Trump, who is now up almost 4 points in our national polling average. https://t.co/vsGVG189Sa pic.twitter.com/6o8L3VKWSI

— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) July 19, 2024

Silver’s model, which has earned a reputation for its accuracy and thoroughness, takes into account a multitude of factors. The methodology, largely unchanged from its FiveThirtyEight origins, excludes COVID-19 provisions introduced in 2020 but retains its comprehensive approach.

Silver stated that the polling averages are “a little fancy,” adjusting for whether polls are conducted among registered or likely voters, the presence or absence of other candidates like RFK Jr., and various “house effects.” These refinements ensure that the model weighs more reliable polls more heavily and uses national polls to make inferences about state polls and vice versa.

However, Silver also noted a degree of caution in the model, especially around party conventions. He explained, “The model is designed to be cautious around the party conventions: it’s shaving a little bit off Trump’s numbers and also hedging toward its pre-convention forecast. If Trump sustains these numbers, the forecast will continue to get worse for Biden.”

The recent uptick in Trump’s polling coincides with the GOP Convention and the assassination attempt against him. These factors seem to have galvanized his base, propelling his numbers upward. Silver described this moment as “something of an inflection point.”

At the spirited RNC Thursday night, Trump stepped into the spotlight once again, accepting the GOP presidential nomination for an unprecedented third time. The event marked Trump’s return to the public stage. As Biden recuperates in Delaware from a positive COVID-19 test, his absence has amplified whispers of dissent within Democratic ranks. Questions are intensifying over whether he should persevere in his reelection bid amidst growing isolation from party allies.

“Needless to say, stranger things have happened than a candidate who was behind in the polls winning. And in America’s polarized political climate, most elections are close and a candidate is rarely out of the running,” Silver finished.

“So here is how our model translates polls and the other inputs it uses into probabilities in the Electoral College and the popular vote in every state — plus some nightmare scenarios like a repeat of the 2000 Florida recount. (It’s more likely than you might think, alas.) We’re not afraid of playing the percentages here — even to the decimal place.”

Clint Eastwood, the iconic actor and director, is mourning the loss of his longtime partner, Christina Sandera. After a decade-long relationship that began in 2014, Sandera has passed away at the age of 61.

Eastwood, 94, shared the tragic news in a statement expressing his heartbreak over her death. The cause of death has not yet been reported.

“Christina was a lovely, caring woman, and I will miss her very much,” Eastwood said in a statement released Thursday night. Meanwhile, a Warner Bros. spokesperson has indicated to The Hollywood Reporter that no additional details will be provided at this time.

Sandera was primarily known for her long-term relationship with the Hollywood icon. She came into the public eye through her association with Eastwood, beginning their relationship around 2014. She was occasionally spotted with Eastwood at various events and red carpets, reflecting her integration into his life. Her low-profile presence in the media mainly highlighted her role as a partner to one of Hollywood’s most enduring figures.

Eastwood and his partner first crossed paths while she was a hostess at his Mission Ranch Hotel and Restaurant in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. Their relationship began in 2014, and she first joined him on the red carpet at the 2015 Oscars, where his film “American Sniper” was nominated for six awards. Although they last appeared together in public in 2019, a recent photo from November 2022 featuring the couple with Clint’s daughters surfaced on social media, marking their latest appearance together.

An insider shared with an entertainment magazine, “Eastwood was ‘with Christina and happy.”

“Clint’s kids have all met Christina and like her,” the source added, noting that the children all found her to be “normal.”

Eastwood has been quite active recently despite being in his 90s. The iconic American actor and director, has had a dynamic personal life marked by several relationships and marriages. He first married Maggie Johnson in 1953, after meeting her on a blind date. The couple had two children but faced challenges, including Eastwood’s numerous affairs. During a separation from Johnson, Eastwood had a relationship with actress Roxanne Tunis, with whom he fathered a daughter. After his divorce from Johnson in 1984, Eastwood’s romantic life continued to make headlines.

He lived with actress Sondra Locke for about 14 years, although the relationship ended acrimoniously. Eastwood then had two children with flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves in the 1980s. In 1996, he married news anchor Dina Ruiz, which garnered considerable media attention. They have one daughter together, but the marriage ended in divorce in 2013.

Multiple Democratic sources have reported that President Joe Biden may step down as the Democratic nominee as soon as this weekend. This comes after a period of speculation regarding Biden’s capability to continue his presidential bid, fueled by concerns over his age and recent political pressures.

Mark Halperin broke the news on Newsmax, saying, “This is happening all of a sudden. Everyone said it would happen gradually and then all at once, and that’s what’s happening. According to my sources, President Biden has agreed to step down as a Democratic nominee. It will happen as early as this weekend. A speech has been drafted for him. He will continue on as president, is his intention.”

“He also will not, I’m told, endorse Vice President Harris as his successor. They’re hoping that he will endorse an open process in which the convention will be open to Vice President Harris and a few other candidates in Chicago to pick the Democratic nominee for president,” Halperin added. The sources suggested that Harris is already considering potential running mates, including Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.

The list of potential candidates doesn’t end there. California Governor Gavin Newsom and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer are also mentioned as possible contenders, alongside Harris. The process outlined by Halperin includes a first ballot where regular delegates would vote, and if no winner emerges, superdelegates would vote in subsequent ballots.

WATCH:

The decision seems to have been influenced by high-level pressure from prominent Democratic figures such as Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and former President Barack Obama, as well as a consensus among Biden’s top aides that there was no viable path forward for his campaign.

The fallout from Biden’s problematic performance at the June 27 debate initially sent ripples through the Democratic Party, prompting donors, activists, and officials to seek guidance from a cadre of seasoned political leaders.

“Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know,” Obama wrote on X after Biden’s poor debate performance in June. “Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November.”

Axios reported earlier on Thursday, however, that a decision by the embattled president could as soon as this weekend, according to insiders who asked for confidentiality to discuss private conversations. Co-founders Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen, titans of the Washington, D.C. political class with extensive contacts, wrote that growing pressure from top Democrats might finally have become too great to brush aside.

The imminent about-face will likely be made not long after Biden recovers from a bout of Covid. He remains in isolation and without a public schedule, forcing him to be alone with his thoughts as he contemplates just how badly Election Day could go for his party if he refuses to step aside. The pressure campaign reached intolerable levels after Democrats said they fully expect post-shooting polls to show that sympathy for former President Donald Trump has been converted into a sizable lead.
