On Sunday Joe Biden withdrew from the 2024 presidential race, eventually endorsing Kamala Harris as his successor. The announcement came weeks after Biden’s widely criticized performance in the first presidential debate on June 27, where he struggled, frequently losing his train of thought and giving rambling answers.

The aftermath of the debate saw a flurry of criticism, with the majority of the public and politicians on both sides declaring Trump the clear winner. The mounting pressure didn’t stop there. Biden faced intensifying calls to step aside, not just from opposition voices but from within his own party. The move marked the first time an eligible incumbent had withdrawn from reelection since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968.

According to sources who spoke with The New York Post, high-level Democratic Party operatives even threatened to forcibly remove Biden from office unless he bowed out. The meticulously planned “palace coup” designed to halt Biden’s re-election efforts had been simmering for weeks. Despite this, Biden stubbornly resisted every attempt to persuade him to step down, a source intimately familiar with the president’s family revealed to The Post.

This source also shed light on the intense mix of anger, paranoia, and frustration that Biden exhibited as top party officials closed ranks and intensified their pressure on him to withdraw. “That debate was a set-up to convince Democrats that he couldn’t run for president,” the source claimed.

WATCH:

After the debate, Hunter Biden, the president’s son, took a sudden interest in his father’s day-to-day activities, insisting on being present at every meeting, whether official or unofficial, according to the source. “Hunter felt he [Joe Biden] was being set up and he was very concerned about his father,” the source explained. “These people, these officials were not on Joe’s side.” The source also revealed that Biden’s own team was caught off guard by his stunning decision to withdraw from the race—a decision that had been known at least since Tuesday.

The revelation of Biden’s resignation letter on his X account raised eyebrows not only because of its content but also due to its unconventional presentation—it was typed on his private letterhead instead of White House stationery and featured an electronic signature, according to a source. “Everyone was totally shocked,” the source disclosed. The minimalistic response from Jill Biden, who tweeted merely a heart emoji, also added to the intrigue.

Democratic Party insiders had been aware of Biden’s deteriorating condition for at least two years, the source claimed. Recounting a personal encounter, “When I saw him a couple of years ago, it was frightening. He was just repeating slogans and had no idea who I was.”

Biden concluded last year with a job approval rating of just 39 percent, marking the lowest rating for any modern U.S. president after three years in office. Now, Harris has clinched enough delegates to be the Democratic nominee, stepping into the spotlight at a critical time just 29 days before the Democratic National Convention.

Rep. Andy Ogles has initiated impeachment proceedings against Vice President Kamala Harris, citing high crimes and misdemeanors. The charges stem from her approach to border issues, allegations of failing to uphold the Constitution, and not fulfilling her duties as Vice President.

Vice President Harris has been attempting to establish her legitimacy among Democrats after Biden’s decision not to run for reelection, marking the start of what may be one of the more daunting challenges. The impeachment articles charge Harris with “high crimes and misdemeanors.”

They allege she “has willfully and systemically refused to uphold Federal immigration laws, in that: In her conduct of the Office of Vice President of the United States, Kamala Devi Harris… has willfully prevented, obstructed, and impeded the administration of justice.”

“Kamala Harris has demonstrated extraordinary incompetence in the execution of her duties and responsibilities, a stark refusal to uphold the existing immigration laws, and a palpable indifference to people of the United States suffering as a result of the ongoing southern border crisis in the United States,” the letter states. “Vice President Harris has consistently refused to visit the southern border to evaluate this ongoing national crisis, aside from a single trip hundreds of miles away from the epicenter of the migrant crisis.”

“Women and girls in the United States have paid a disproportionate price for the ongoing border crisis, tragically extenuated by the inaction of border czar Kamala Devi Harris. In August 2023, Rachel Morin, a mother of 5, was raped and killed by an illegal alien. In September 16 2023, an illegal alien attacked a woman and her 9-year-old daughter in Los Angeles. On May 14, 2024, an illegal alien from Turkey raped a 15-year-old New York girl after threatening to beat her with a pipe. In February 2024, a 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley was killed by an illegal alien.”

According to POLITICO’s Olivia Beavers, Ogles mentioned that the resolution is crafted to have privileged status, although it’s uncertain when he will proceed with it. Regarding the timing, Ogles stated, “It depends on when we’re here. I mean, there’s some talk that we won’t even be here on Thursday.”

When asked whether he aimed to resolve this before the August recess, he responded, “If our work isn’t done, why would we leave?” Concerning the upcoming August recess, he expressed his dissatisfaction, saying, “I have a problem with that. I think we have Appropriations bills to address and we need to impeach the vice president.”

Since the Biden-Harris administration took office, the U.S. border has been a focal point. Republicans have pointed out that the administration’s policies have led to an increase in illegal crossings and a crisis at the southern border.

Notably, the discontinuation of the “Remain in Mexico” policy, which required asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their claims were processed in the U.S., marked a significant shift. The number of encounters at the southern border has reached historic highs. Vice President Harris, appointed by Biden to address the root causes of migration from Central America, has continuously faced backlash over her handling of the crisis.

Amid the fallout from his high-profile corruption trial, Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) has announced his resignation from the U.S. Senate, effective August 20. The decision comes after his conviction on July 16 for accepting an array of bribes, including cash, gold bars, and a luxury vehicle, in exchange for political favors.

Menendez, a long-serving Democratic lawmaker, was found guilty of using his influence to assist three business executives with securing deals with foreign officials and interfering in criminal investigations within New Jersey. His departure from the Senate was confirmed after his resignation letter was read during a session at 3 p.m. today, ending a chapter marred by scandal and legal battles.

“While I fully intend to appeal the jury’s verdict, all the way and including to the Supreme Court, I do not want the Senate to be involved in a lengthy process that will detract from its important work,” Menendez wrote in his letter announcing his resignation according to The Washington Post.

Rep. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) has been named the Democratic nominee for the 2024 Senate race to fill the seat soon to be vacated by Menendez. With the Senate scheduled for a recess from August 5 through September 6, Governor Phil Murphy (D-N.J.) has a window until early September to appoint a temporary successor.

The appointee would serve in the Senate for approximately four months. The period leading up to Menendez’s resignation on August 20 may allow him the opportunity to deliver a farewell speech on the Senate floor and continue his legislative duties, including voting on bills and nominations, until his official departure.

Menendez, a long-serving New Jersey Democrat, faced a multitude of serious allegations brought by federal prosecutors in New York. He was found guilty on all counts. Federal prosecutors had accused him of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of bribes — including cash, gold bars, and mortgage payments — in return for leveraging his political influence.

The recipients of his favors included three New Jersey businessmen and the governments of Egypt and Qatar. Despite his pleas of not guilty on the 16 federal charges, the jury’s decision was unanimous. Agents found numerous envelopes filled with cash, bags brimming with bills, and even cash hidden in the senator’s jackets and boots. Additionally, they seized gold bars valued at thousands of dollars from his wife’s closet.

Many of Menendez’s colleagues in the Senate had previously urged him to resign months ago. “He must stand up now and leave the Senate,” said Rep. Cory Booker (D-N.J.). “He must do that. And if he refuses to do that, I will lead that effort to make sure that he’s removed from the Senate. It is the just thing to do.”

“In light of this guilty verdict, Senator Menendez must now do what is right for his constituents, the Senate, and our country, and resign,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said.

The scandal first came to light when federal prosecutors presented evidence suggesting that Menendez had stored the gold bars in a safe deposit box, a detail that became a focal point in the allegations against him. This case adds to the prior legal challenges faced by Menendez, who was previously indicted in 2015 for different corruption charges, although those charges were eventually dismissed after a mistrial.

Questions and tensions continue to swirl on Capitol Hill in the wake of the resignation of US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle. Her departure followed a contentious hearing where she faced a barrage of questions from lawmakers of both parties regarding a security lapse that nearly resulted in the assassination of former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. Despite her resignation, the chain of events is far from over.

Monday’s spotlight had intensified on the Secret Service’s operational failures, as critics frequently asked how a gunman managed to get a clear shot at former President Trump. The bipartisan dissatisfaction culminated in a forceful call for Cheatle’s resignation, a demand she conceded to the following day on Tuesday. However, for some, the resignation is merely the starting point of the accountability process.

“[There] needs to be an investigation into Director Cheatle, or former Director Cheatle’s role in the attempted assassination of President Trump,” said Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Tuesday. “There may be criminal charges coming in the future. I think she showed up to the oversight committee, refused to answer our questions, did not bring any of the information that we asked her to bring and subpoenaed.”

According to Greene, the responsibility doesn’t end with Cheatle but extends to her superiors, notably hinting at Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’s role in the oversight of the Secret Service. “She came in yesterday, participated in a full cover-up, and then resigned today. I think that speaks a message loud and clear.”

WATCH:

With both Republican and Democratic leaders united in their criticism, the issue seems to have transcended partisan politics.

Two law enforcement sources tell NBC News Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has resigned. And an official announcement is coming later this morning

— Ryan Nobles (@ryanobles) July 23, 2024

The director told Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) that the Secret Service often relied on partnerships with local law enforcement to fill gaps in its coverage, especially during election years. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) was the first to report that the Secret Service had staffed Trump with personnel who were not trained agents.

On Monday Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) claimed to have produced evidence from an agency whistleblower showing that the Secret Service assigned three “post” officers to Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania rally on July 13, or additional detail members responsible for securing a certain segment of the perimeter. In contrast, Jill Biden’s visit to Pittsburgh drew 12 post officers. The disclosure was uncovered as part of Sen. Grassley’s investigation into correspondence within the Secret Service about how to staff both Trump and Jill Biden, who were just 33 miles apart that day.

Specifically under investigation is how the Secret Service partnered with law enforcement organizations in and around Butler to establish a protective presence along the perimeter of the rally. Cheatle and a spokesman for the Secret Service both claimed that the area was under guard by local authorities but said during Monday’s hearing that the building where the gunman fired from was outside that zone, contradicting previous findings. Lawmakers are also seeking to understand why the Secret Service determined that an agent could not be placed on the roof of the building due to its sloped incline, which Cheatle said would have disrupted an agent’s ability to monitor Trump.

Earlier in the day, authorities reported seeing 20-year-old gunman Thomas Crooks canvassing the area where he later took the shot, though was not determined to be suspicious. During the rally, another local officer encountered Crooks crawling along the ground with a rangefinder and reported it to headquarters only for agents to find Crooks missing when they returned. The FBI is also investigating why another officer backed away from Crooks on the roof seconds before he fired at Trump, striking the former president’s ear before agents shot and killed him.

Questions and tensions continue to swirl on Capitol Hill in the wake of the resignation of US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle. Her departure followed a contentious hearing where she faced a barrage of questions from lawmakers of both parties regarding a security lapse that nearly resulted in the assassination of former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. Despite her resignation, the chain of events is far from over.

Monday’s spotlight had intensified on the Secret Service’s operational failures, as critics frequently asked how a gunman managed to get a clear shot at former President Trump. The bipartisan dissatisfaction culminated in a forceful call for Cheatle’s resignation, a demand she conceded to the following day on Tuesday. However, for some, the resignation is merely the starting point of the accountability process.

“[There] needs to be an investigation into Director Cheatle, or former Director Cheatle’s role in the attempted assassination of President Trump,” said Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Tuesday. “There may be criminal charges coming in the future. I think she showed up to the oversight committee, refused to answer our questions, did not bring any of the information that we asked her to bring and subpoenaed.”

According to Greene, the responsibility doesn’t end with Cheatle but extends to her superiors, notably hinting at Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’s role in the oversight of the Secret Service. “She came in yesterday, participated in a full cover-up, and then resigned today. I think that speaks a message loud and clear.”

WATCH:

With both Republican and Democratic leaders united in their criticism, the issue seems to have transcended partisan politics. Cheatle previously declined to resign in an interview she gave just days after Trump was struck by a bullet. The steady drip of revelations about how the Secret Service handled Trump’s presidential campaign may ultimately have contributed to Cheatle’s departure. Last week major outlets reported that the service declined previous requests to staff Trump following death threats he had received, and on Monday Cheatle attempted to deflect when challenged to state how many requests she had denied.

After mysteriously disappearing from the public eye following a declared positive COVID test on July 17th, Joe Biden made his first public appearance on Tuesday. The White House had maintained that his absence was due to his health condition but did little to quell swirling rumors of an undisclosed medical emergency that might have prompted his withdrawal from the presidential race.

Biden was seen slowly walking up the stairs of Air Force One as he ignored questions from reporters asking him about the capabilities of his Vice President, Kamala Harris. Once he eventually got to the top of the stairs, the president gave a salute.

Amidst his last-ditch campaign blitz last week, Biden tested positive for COVID-19 while in Las Vegas. Following the diagnosis, he began isolating at his Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, home. Today, the president tested negative for the virus, paving the way for his return to the White House. His physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, confirmed Biden’s negative status through a Binax rapid antigen test.

WATCH:

“The President’s symptoms have resolved. Over the course of his infection, he never manifested a fever, and his vital signs remained normal, to include pulse oximetry. His lungs remained clear,” O’Connor wrote. “BINAX rapid antigen testing is negative. He will continue to be monitored for any recurrence of illness. The President continues to perform all of his presidential duties. As always, I will continue to keep your office updated with any changes in his condition or treatment plan.”

On Monday, O’Connor shared that Biden’s symptoms were nearly completely resolved. Additionally, he mentioned that the president had taken his tenth dose of the antiviral medication Paxlovid. The drug is an antiviral medication developed by Pfizer.

Apart from his letter declining to seek a second term, Biden has not addressed the nation in person, a promise initially made to reporters by the White House but has not come to fruition. Washington lawmakers have increased their calls for Biden to resign, citing his deteriorating health and decision to drop out. On Monday Sen. Steve Daines (R-MO), who chairs the Senate GOP’s campaign arm, urged the Democrat to do what’s best for the country and immediately step aside.

“If Joe Biden is no longer capable of running for re-election, he is no longer capable of serving as President. Being President is the hardest job in the world, and I no longer have confidence that Joe Biden can effectively execute his duties as Commander-in-Chief. It is out of concern for our country’s national security that I am formally calling on President Biden to resign from office,” Daines said in a statement.

On Monday, Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA) took questions from Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum about where Biden has been since he was last seen boarding Air Force One on Friday. “Nine months went by without a cabinet meeting, and when there were cabinet meetings they were somewhat scripted,” said MacCallum. “I mean, the things that are coming out now … We were told, ‘Oh he’s fine, he runs circles around everyone.’”

WATCH:

Biden is reportedly set to give a speech on Wednesday announcing his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race and his endorsement of Harris. The Democratic National Committee has announced that it will proceed with a selection process to determine the party’s presidential nominee by August 7.

Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee and current U.S. Vice President, now finds herself at the center of a historical controversy that connects her directly to the dark legacy of slavery. The connection emerges from genealogical research conducted by Northern Irish historian Stephen McCracken. According to McCracken’s findings, Harris’s paternal ancestor, Hamilton Brown, was an ardent supporter of the slave trade in Jamaica, a stance that places the Vice President in a complex historical light.

Hamilton Brown, born in County Antrim, Ireland, in 1776—the same year the United States declared its independence—later migrated to Jamaica, which at the time was a British colony. There, he became a prominent slave owner, managing over 120 slaves on his sugar plantations, pivotal to the island’s economy. Brown’s commitment to the institution of slavery was so profound that, even after the British Empire abolished slavery in 1832, he traveled back to Antrim to protest against the move.

The familial ties of Kamala Harris to Brown are through her father, Donald J. Harris, who hails from Jamaica, whereas her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was born in Madras, now Chennai, India. This lineage, rooted in a blend of Indian and Afro-Jamaican descent, presents a stark contrast to the troubling legacy left by Brown.

“Hamilton Brown was a notorious figure and not a nice fellow,” McCracken said to the Belfast Telegraph. “He had numerous slaves. In fact, Hamilton Brown routinely traveled back and forth to London to protest the abolishment of slavery.”

“I actually thought this was going to be a nice story, like (former US presidents) McKinley, Nixon, Jackson, Roosevelt, all of whom have links to Antrim, but it wasn’t,” McCracken wrote. “He had numerous slaves, in fact Hamilton Brown routinely traveled back and forth to London to protest the abolishment of slavery.”

A Reuters fact check revealed that Brown owned at least 124 slaves in 1817 and 121 in 1826. The United Kingdom abolished slavery in 1833, although former slaves remained tied to their former owners until 1838, according to the Belfast Telegraph. Brown later received £24,144, roughly equivalent to $3.7 million today, from the Slave Compensation Act of 1837. This act compensated former slave owners as part of the agreement to end slavery.

Harris’s lineage has been a point of discussion since she rose to national prominence. She was born in Oakland, California, to immigrant parents: her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, came from India, and her father, Donald Harris, is from Jamaica. Her mother was a breast cancer scientist and her father is a Stanford University economics professor. Harris often speaks about the influence of her diverse heritage on her life and career. Her mixed racial and cultural background has been both a subject of pride and, at times, scrutiny, especially from various perspectives.

The Belfast Telegraph pointed out that a significant number of African Americans and Afro-Caribbeans have English or Irish ancestry, a legacy rooted in the widespread sexual violence perpetrated by plantation owners against their female slaves.

In the heated aftermath of President Joe Biden’s decision not to seek reelection, much of the Democrat Party swiftly moved to unite behind Vice President Kamala Harris as their nominee. With the support of a substantial number of delegates and an endorsement from Biden himself, Harris will likely lead the party’s ticket in the upcoming presidential race.

During Tuesday’s segment on MSNBC, Mika Brzezinski lambasted the Republican approach toward Harris. “Making fun of her voice, I mean we’re talking middle school stuff… and it’s not a good look,” Brzezinski said. Mara Gay, a New York Times editor, also made bold claims about the nature of the GOP’s strategy. Gay said that Republican tactics demonstrated a tendency to default to what she called “racist and sexist” responses when challenged by a strong Democratic contender.

“Their first instinct is just to be racist and sexist. I guess that’s like a tick that they’ve developed at this point,” Gay said. “When the AKAs hear that, they’re gonna march in formation to the poll,” Gay claimed, alluding to how African American sororities like Alpha Kappa Alpha might respond to so-called racial attacks.

“This is really not helping his case, but I guess voters in America know that. This is really not helping his case, but I guess that’s just their go-to line. If when all else fails, just try racism,” said Gay. Harris’s nomination would make her the first Black woman and the first Indian American to lead a major political party’s ticket in a presidential race.

WATCH:

In the last 48 hours, Harris has rallied significant support from within her party and positioned herself as the opponent to Trump. Leveraging her credentials as California’s former attorney general and an Alameda County prosecutor, Harris laid out her campaign strategy in Monday’s address to her staff. Her experience, Harris argues, makes her uniquely qualified to take on former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election. However, many Americans don’t agree.

“For all of the excitement that Democrats have over Kamala Harris, it is going to be difficult to beat Donald Trump,” CNN’s senior data analyst Harry Enten said on Tuesday. The first hurdle, he said, will be Trump’s favorability ratings.

While Trump has consistently remained a polarizing figure among the electorate, the Republican leader now carries his highest rating on record since he was nearly shot and killed less than two weeks ago. After speaking at the Republican National Convention, Trump carries a 40% approval by ABC/Ipsos and a 46% approval according to Quinnipiac, both records for him.

WATCH:

“Does Lyin’ Kamala Harris think Joe Biden is fit to run the U.S.A. for the next six months?” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Tuesday. “She must answer the question. Now it appears Joe is delegating his Presidential Authority to unelected Washington Bureaucrats! He doesn’t even trust his Vice President. WHO IS RUNNING THE COUNTRY?”

“The fact is, Donald Trump is more popular now than he ever has been before. So yes, Democrats can make this switcheroo, but they’re still going to have to beat Donald Trump – a Donald Trump who is stronger than he has ever been before,” Enten added.

Today, Trump leads Harris by 1%, “within the margin” of error and indicating a “close race.”

In the heated aftermath of President Joe Biden’s decision not to seek reelection, much of the Democrat Party swiftly moved to unite behind Vice President Kamala Harris as their nominee. With the support of a substantial number of delegates and an endorsement from Biden himself, Harris will likely lead the party’s ticket in the upcoming presidential race.

During Tuesday’s segment on MSNBC, Mika Brzezinski lambasted the Republican approach toward Harris. “Making fun of her voice, I mean we’re talking middle school stuff… and it’s not a good look,” Brzezinski said. Mara Gay, a New York Times editor, also made bold claims about the nature of the GOP’s strategy. Gay said that Republican tactics demonstrated a tendency to default to what she called “racist and sexist” responses when challenged by a strong Democratic contender.

“Their first instinct is just to be racist and sexist. I guess that’s like a tick that they’ve developed at this point,” Gay said. “When the AKAs hear that, they’re gonna march in formation to the poll,” Gay claimed, alluding to how African American sororities like Alpha Kappa Alpha might respond to so-called racial attacks.

“This is really not helping his case, but I guess voters in America know that. This is really not helping his case, but I guess that’s just their go-to line. If when all else fails, just try racism,” said Gay. Harris’s nomination would make her the first Black woman and the first Indian American to lead a major political party’s ticket in a presidential race.

Esta TerBlanche, best known for her role in “All My Children,” passed away at the age of 51 on Friday.

“Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my dear friend and client Esta TerBlanche,” Annie Spoliansky, a talent manager at Key Management, said in a written statement. “She was a beautiful and gentle soul who will be incredibly missed. Her long-running role on ‘All My Children’ will live on.”

As of Monday morning, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s website did not list a cause of death for TerBlanche, who reportedly passed away at her home. The exact cause is still under investigation, with an autopsy scheduled for a future date. According to the Department of Medical Examiner’s Office, her death is being examined further with “other significant conditions.”

TerBlanche, born in Rustenburg, North West Province, and of Huguenot descent, grew up on a game farm in South Africa. She was crowned Miss Teen South Africa in 1991 and starred as Bienkie Naudé Hartman on the South African drama “Egoli: Place of Gold” from 1992 to 1995. After moving to the U.S., she quickly landed a commercial and was later cast in the American daytime drama “All My Children” as Gillian Andrassy, a role she played until 2001 when she requested to leave the show.

TerBlanche returned to South Africa briefly but made her way back to the U.S., where she opened a spa and explored interests in the medical and healing fields. She resumed acting, making appearances on South African TV and movies, and in 2011, she briefly reprised her role on “All My Children.”

“I went to audition for something else and the casting people let my agents know they liked me but I was too young for the part,” TerBlanche said in February this year. “They said they wanted to write something for me. About a month later, we got a call saying they wrote something and wanted me to come screen test in New York.”

WATCH:

“I just knew in my heart this is what I had to do,” she recalled. “You’ve got to do this. It was literally just getting up every day and doing it over and over again because it’s not just going in that one time to audition and you get the job.”

TerBlanche also appeared in stage plays and films and worked as a TV presenter in South Africa. She was a well-known figure in South African media, appearing on the covers of numerous magazines. She was fluent in Afrikaans, English, and German, and she also spoke French, Italian, and Russian with varying degrees of proficiency.

“Working on this American production was a blessing, really, and Cameron was amazing,” she said. “English wasn’t my first language, so I sometimes really struggled with remembering my lines, and he was really good at that. If I came in with the wrong lines, he would just adjust; he never made a big deal out of it.”

After a conspicuous absence of five days, Biden’s voice was finally heard during a call into Vice President Kamala Harris’s event—a call that many are saying sounded less than reassuring. The event, a significant gathering on the South Lawn at the White House, was already notable as one of Harris’s first public appearances following Biden’s sudden withdrawal from his reelection bid.

It was here, amidst the choreographed endorsements and political reassurances, that Biden chose to make his auditory appearance. Biden just endorsed Harris for the presidency placing her at the forefront of the Democratic campaign. However, it wasn’t the content of Biden’s speech that captured the public’s attention—it was the delivery.

Phrases seemed jumbled, and pauses punctuated his speech in unusual places. His intent to reassure his team and supporters of his ongoing involvement and support for Harris was clear, yet his manner of speaking led to whispers of concern regarding his well-being.

“I want to call today and thank everybody, everybody in this effort,” Biden said over the phone. “I know yesterday’s news is surprising and it’s hard for you to hear, but it was the right thing to do. It’s a… I know it’s hard because you poured your heart and soul into me, saying, ‘help us win this thing, help me get this nomination, help me win the nomination, and then go on to win the presidency.’”

WATCH:

Further into the call, Biden attempted to bolster the morale of his team, reflecting on the achievements and the formidable campaign structure they had built together. “We built the best campaign in organization in history. I’ve been doing this, I always kid and say, I know I’m only 40, but I’ve been around a long time,” he joked.

The White House had announced that Biden is currently quarantining in Delaware and will return to Washington once he tests negative for COVID-19. However, they did not provide a more specific timeframe for his return.

White House physician wrote on Monday Kevin O’Conner, “President Biden completed his tenth dose of Paxlovid this morning. His symptoms have almost resolved completely. His pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate and temperature remain absolutely normal. His oxygen saturation continues to be excellent on room air. His lungs remain clear. The President continues to perform all of his presidential duties.”

Harris has swiftly amassed $49.6 million for her presidential campaign in just under a day following Biden’s withdrawal from the race and his endorsement of her as the Democratic nominee. “Since the president endorsed Vice President Harris yesterday afternoon, everyday Americans have given $49.6 million in grassroots donations to her campaign,” a campaign spokesperson for Biden confirmed on Monday.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) endorsed Harris, reversing her previous decision to withhold support. As the Democratic National Convention in Chicago approaches next month, it remains to be seen if Harris will face any challengers for the nomination.

President Joe Biden announced the termination of his 2024 reelection campaign on Sunday, citing the “best interest of my party and the country” as his rationale. The decision was communicated through a post on X, where Biden threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him.

The announcement came shortly after Biden, 81, was seen returning to Delaware under concerning circumstances. Biden’s health has been under scrutiny lately. On Monday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk shared insights from a source close to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police, suggesting a more severe scenario for Biden than previously disclosed.

According to the source, there was an “emergency situation” that required immediate medical attention for the president in Las Vegas, prompting the U.S. Secret Service to prepare for a swift departure to University Medical. However, plans changed abruptly with Biden being medivac’d back to the East Coast, speculated to be Johns Hopkins.

Kirk wrote, “I didn’t think too much about this lead, seemed too wild to be true, but given that Joe Biden has been out of public sight for days and dropped out of the race via an 𝕏 post, and his brother James indicated health was a factor, I’m beginning to grow more curious if COVID or something else has been more serious than reported.”

Got a weird lead on a story that people should look into. I got a call from a source close to Las Vegas Metro. The official story was that Joe Biden’s trip was cut short last week due to COVID. However, according to this source, US Secret Service informed LV Metro that there was…

The lack of transparency and sudden changes in the president’s schedule have left many wondering about the true state of Biden’s health and the potential impact on the upcoming presidential race. Four days prior to his announcement, Biden was seen making a sluggish descent from Air Force One at Dover Air Force Base after testing positive for Covid-19. Since then, he has not been seen in public, fueling rumors and concerns about his well-being.

On Monday, Frank Biden suggested that the president’s health is worse than previously know. “I’m incredibly proud of my brother. Selfishly, I will have him back to enjoy whatever time we have left,” Frank told CBS News. According to Frank, the president’s health and vitality were “absolutely” a major factor in his decision to step aside.

WATCH:

Biden, born in 1942, has faced several health concerns over the years. His medical history includes having undergone surgery to treat his gallbladder and experiencing non-melanoma skin cancers. More recently, he has shown signs of aging, such as a stiffened gait and speech stumbles which his physicians attribute to orthopedic injuries and the natural aging process. His 2021 medical report claimed he was in good overall health, fit to handle the duties of the presidency.

“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President,” Biden wrote in Sunday’s letter. “And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”

“For now, let me express my deepest gratitude to all those who have worked so hard to see me re-elected. I want to thank Vice President Kamala Harris for being an extraordinary partner in all this work,” the president wrote. “And let me express my heartfelt appreciation to the American people for the faith and trust you have placed in me.”

Biden is reportedly preparing to address the nation later this week.

President Joe Biden announced the termination of his 2024 reelection campaign on Sunday, citing the “best interest of my party and the country” as his rationale. The decision was communicated through a post on X, where Biden threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him.

The announcement came shortly after Biden, 81, was seen returning to Delaware under concerning circumstances. Biden’s health has been under scrutiny lately. On Monday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk shared insights from a source close to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police, suggesting a more severe scenario for Biden than previously disclosed.

According to the source, there was an “emergency situation” that required immediate medical attention for the president in Las Vegas, prompting the U.S. Secret Service to prepare for a swift departure to University Medical. However, plans changed abruptly with Biden being medivac’d back to the East Coast, speculated to be Johns Hopkins.

Kirk wrote, “I didn’t think too much about this lead, seemed too wild to be true, but given that Joe Biden has been out of public sight for days and dropped out of the race via an 𝕏 post, and his brother James indicated health was a factor, I’m beginning to grow more curious if COVID or something else has been more serious than reported.”

Got a weird lead on a story that people should look into. I got a call from a source close to Las Vegas Metro. The official story was that Joe Biden’s trip was cut short last week due to COVID. However, according to this source, US Secret Service informed LV Metro that there was…

The lack of transparency and sudden changes in the president’s schedule have left many wondering about the true state of Biden’s health and the potential impact on the upcoming presidential race. Four days prior to his announcement, Biden was seen making a sluggish descent from Air Force One at Dover Air Force Base after testing positive for Covid-19. Since then, he has not been seen in public, fueling rumors and concerns about his well-being.

On Monday, Frank Biden suggested that the president’s health is worse than previously know. “I’m incredibly proud of my brother. Selfishly, I will have him back to enjoy whatever time we have left,” Frank told CBS News. According to Frank, the president’s health and vitality were “absolutely” a major factor in his decision to step aside.

WATCH:

Biden, born in 1942, has faced several health concerns over the years. His medical history includes having undergone surgery to treat his gallbladder and experiencing non-melanoma skin cancers. More recently, he has shown signs of aging, such as a stiffened gait and speech stumbles which his physicians attribute to orthopedic injuries and the natural aging process. His 2021 medical report claimed he was in good overall health, fit to handle the duties of the presidency.

“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President,” Biden wrote in Sunday’s letter. “And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”

“For now, let me express my deepest gratitude to all those who have worked so hard to see me re-elected. I want to thank Vice President Kamala Harris for being an extraordinary partner in all this work,” the president wrote. “And let me express my heartfelt appreciation to the American people for the faith and trust you have placed in me.”

Biden is reportedly preparing to address the nation later this week.
