Now that President Biden has ended his re-election bid, Democrats must choose a replacement nominee in less than a month. Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, but the official selection will be made at the Democratic National Convention. Here's what happens next.
"Vice President Kamala Harris" raised more than $50 million in less than 24 hours after entering the 2024 race for presidency, her campaign initially said, as Democrats welcomed her candidacy with one of "the greatest gushers of cash of all time". A rush of donations came as Democrats quickly coalesced behind her.
The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that Former President and Contender Donald Trump is entitled to substantial immunity from prosecution on charges of trying to overturn the last election. President Biden warned that the decision meant that there were "virtually no limits on what the president can do" and urged voters to potentially prevent Mr. Trump from returning to the White House.
The former national security adviser highlighted the importance of U.S. energy production as a means to weaken the so-called axis of evil, particularly countries reliant on Russian energy. He criticized President Biden for diminishing American energy production while allowing Putin to open pipelines like Nord Stream Two. In addition to focusing on energy production, O’Brien advised putting maximum pressure back on Iran, imposing sanctions on the Russian Central Bank, and cutting back on oil sales from Russia. He emphasized the need for a strong military presence to assert power and deter aggression.
