Axios - Trump, if re-elected, plans to immediately test the boundaries of presidential and governing power, knowing the restraints of Congress and the courts are dramatically looser than during his first term. https://www.axios.com/2024/07/02/trump-2025-imperial-us-presidency
SCOTUS decision today "almost certainly means there are virtually no limits on what a president can do," says President Biden, calling it dangerous and "undermines the rule of law of this nation."
"Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself," says former President Obama in a social media post. "Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November."
"I refuse to join the Democratic vultures on Biden’s shoulder after the debate," says Senator John Fetterman (D-Pennsylvania). "No one knows more than me that a rough debate is not the sum total of the person and their record."
"I don't really know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don't think he knows what he said either," quips Trump after Biden verbally stumbles during a comment about border control.
