Biden's Team Responds to Debate Fallout
Biden's team has engaged in damage control efforts following the president's shaky debate performance against Trump, reaching out to reassure donors, lawmakers, and defend Biden on political TV shows. While allies like Representative James Clyburn have expressed confidence in Biden's leadership based on past performance, polls indicate a decline in voter confidence, prompting some Democrats to call for a new candidate at the party convention.
Supreme Court's Ruling on Trump's Immunity Claim
The Supreme Court is expected to rule on Trump's claim of presidential immunity in a criminal case related to the 2020 election. Legal experts anticipate a rejection of his immunity claim, but the ruling's specifics could impact the timing and nature of Trump's trial. The ruling also has implications for separate trials in Florida and Georgia, possibly influencing future legal challenges, and potentially affecting trials if Trump assumes the presidency again.
