The Biden Campaign
Pressure on the Biden campaign isn’t dissipating.
George Clooney, ER doctor actor and long-time Democratic fundraiser, called on top Democrats to ask President Biden “to voluntarily step aside.” In his NYT opinion piece, Clooney claimed that the Biden he saw while co-hosting a recent fundraiser “was the same man we all witnessed at the debate” and is “not the Joe Biden of 2020.”
Wednesday, Peter Welch (D-VA) became the first Democratic Senator to call for Biden’s withdrawal in his own op-ed. Former Speaker Pelosi stopped short of supporting Biden’s withdrawal or candidacy, encouraging him to simply “make that decision because time is running short.”
Yesterday, after the NATO Summit, the President held a rare, solo press conference that lasted 59 minutes. He took questions, mistakenly called his #2 “Vice President Trump,” and repeatedly reaffirmed his commitment to reelection.
Hoping to regain confidence, the President held a rare, solo press conference last night, during which he reaffirmed his commitment to reelection.

CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE
Whatever the outcome of 2024’s election, the hope of Christians won’t be shaken. Our truest home is God’s kingdom, and he is our ultimate king. Live as exiles here, serving as Christ’s winsome, peace-making ambassadors with your eyes fixed on your heavenly home.
“For the love of Christ compels us, since we have reached this conclusion, that one died for all, and therefore all died.… He has committed the message of reconciliation to us. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us.”
