Will have to start all over again: Trump slams Biden for ending campaign

His scathing remarks came after Biden (81), in a stunning decision on Sunday, announced that he was withdrawing from the race to be the next president in 2024 and endorsed Kamala Harris

Here's what might happen next as Biden passes baton to Kamala Harris

With President Joe Biden ending his reelection bid and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, Democrats now must navigate a shift that is unprecedented this late in an election year. Democrats are set to hold their convention in Chicago on August 19-22. What was supposed to be a coronation for Biden now becomes an open contest in which nearly 4,700 delegates will be responsible for picking a new standard-bearer to challenge Republican Donald Trump in the fall. The path ahead is neither easy nor obvious, even with Biden endorsing Harris. There are unanswered questions about logistics, money and political fallout. Can Biden redirect his delegates? Biden won every state primary and caucus earlier this year and only lost the territory of American Samoa. At least 3,896 delegates had been pledged to support him. Current party rules do not permit Biden to pass them to another candidate. Politically, though, his endorsement is likely to be influential. What could happen at the ...

Crooked Biden not fit to serve, says Trump; his son attacks Kamala Harris

Former president Donald Trump on Sunday reacted to Joe Biden ending his reelection bid, claiming the incumbent president is certainly not fit to serve. Biden announced that he was withdrawing from the race to be the next president, following mounting pressure from Democrats after a faltering debate performance against Republican candidate Trump last month. Biden has endorsed Kamala Harris, the current vice-president, to be the new Democratic nominee. Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve - And never was! He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement. "All those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasn't capable of being President, and he wasn't, Trump posted on Truth Social. Trump, 78, added, We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! In a phone call with CNN minutes after Bi

Biden's legacy: Accomplishments that didn't convert into political support

Sitting in the Oval Office behind the iconic Resolute desk in 2022, an animated President Joe Biden described the challenge of leading a psychologically traumatized nation. The United States had endured a life-altering pandemic. There was a jarring burst of inflation and now global conflict with Russia invading Ukraine, as well as the persistent threat to democracy he felt Donald Trump posed. How could Biden possibly heal that collective trauma? "Be confident," he said emphatically in an interview with The Associated Press. "Be confident. Because I am confident." But in the ensuing two years, the confidence Biden hoped to instill steadily waned. And when the 81-year-old Democratic president showed his age in a disastrous debate in June against Trump, he lost the benefit of the doubt as well. That triggered a series of events that led him Sunday to step down as his party's nominee for the November's election. Democrats, who had been united in their resolve to prevent another Trump

Obama, Pelosi refrain from immediately endorsing Harris as Prez nominee

Former US president Barack Obama and ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Sunday praised President Joe Biden for deciding to step aside from the presidential race but stopped short of endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party's nominee for the November 5 general elections. Biden (81) announced that he was withdrawing from the race to be the next president, following mounting pressure from Democrats after a faltering debate performance against Republican candidate Trump last month. He has endorsed 59-year-old Harris to be the new Democratic nominee. Though Biden's endorsement almost seals Harris' position as the presidential nominee of her party, she still needs to get elected by the party's delegates during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next month. Biden has 3,896 delegates in his kitty, as against 1,976 required to win the nomination. Harris immediately secured the endorsement of former president Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clint

Behind Biden's asylum halt: Migrants must say if they fear deportation

Posters inside a complex of giant, white tents tell migrants in English, Spanish, Mandarin and Hindi they should tell an officer if they fear being deported and your claim will be heard. On a side wall where migrants are seated in a processing area, a video conveys the same message on a loop. Breaking from a practice in effect since 1997, Border Patrol agents at the holding facility in Tucson, Arizona, and throughout the country no longer ask migrants if they fear deportation. President Joe Biden's administration temporarily suspended asylum at the border June 5 and, as part of that move, agents do not ask about fears. Migrants must bring it up themselves. Immigration advocates call it the shout test suggesting migrants must shout their fears though agents are taught to respond to other signs of distress, such as crying, shaking or a change in tone of voice and to refer migrants for screening if the behavior appears genuine. Anyone not screened can be immediately deported. It is .

Pelosi delivers speech with notable absence Biden's future as nominee

In a state expected to help decide the presidency, House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi did little to quell speculation on President Joe Biden's path forward as the Democratic nominee to a room full of North Carolina Democrats on Saturday. Pelosi addressed more than 900 people at the North Carolina Democratic Party fundraiser in Raleigh an event billed as the annual Unity Dinner during a time of significant national discord over how the party will proceed in the 2024 presidential election. All eyes are on Democratic leaders like Pelosi, who colleagues say has her finger on the party's pulse, to get a glimpse of what Biden's future holds. The power she holds in the Democratic Party and in the direction the party takes was no better emphasized than in her introduction by U.S. Rep. Alma Adams, D-N.C. When Nancy Pelosi speaks, everybody listens, Adams said. And with everybody listening, Pelosi gave a speech largely absent of mentions to Biden's presidential bid. Pelosi spent most of
