Republican primary voters are showing no signs of easing their support for former President Trump as their 2024 GOP presidential candidate. Trump's lead in the presumptive field of GOP presidential candidates has widened in most polling, even as he finds himself embroiled in high-profile legal battles and as the party grapples with a worse-than-expected midterm election. |

Former President Trump claimed on Friday that he is under "total assault" because of his lead in the polls among current and potential GOP presidential candidates. "[We're under] total assault because we're winning in the polls," Trump told his former advisor Steve Bannon during an interview on "War Room." |

Most high-profile progressives in Congress say they'll support President Biden's reelection bid, even though some are critical of his policy agenda. Since announcing his 2024 campaign on Tuesday, Biden has racked up endorsements from many prominent members of the left, including the progressive standard-bearer, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.); Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), the head of the Congressional Progressive Caucus; and Squad members Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Greg Casar (D-Texas). |

Democrats are rebuilding their strength in the "blue wall" states that former President Trump won in 2016, raising the party's hopes in a region that will prove critical to races up and down the ballot next year. The party is riding high after key victories in states like Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin over the past six months, signaling a newfound momentum after Trump's win called into question the party's standing in the rust belt. |

Strict abortion bans failed to pass in votes just hours apart in two conservative states this week, in the latest sign of the anxiety among Republicans that supporting strict limits or outright bans on abortion could risk a political backlash. Anti-abortion advocates continue to press lawmakers to take a hardline position on the issue, but after the end of Roe v. Wade, there's a growing divide between public opinion and longtime GOP goals on abortion. |

The departure of Biden adviser Susan Rice has prompted relief among immigration advocates, who hope her exit signals a shift on the approach to the border.

President Biden vowed to fight for all Americans "wrongfully detained" abroad at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner on Saturday, as Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich's ongoing detainment in Russia loomed large. "Jill, Kamala, Doug, and I, and members of our administration, are here to send a message to the country and quite frankly to the world — a free press is a pillar, maybe the pillar, of a free society, not the enemy," Biden said. |

Comedian Roy Wood, Jr. packed his White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) dinner punchlines with barbs aimed at President Biden and the "king of scandals" former President Trump, while also roasting Tucker Carlson, Don Lemon and GOP lawmakers including Rep. George Santos (N.Y.). But, he struck a serious tone when saying much of the public can't afford some of the media's "most essential, fair and nuanced reporting." |

OPINION | Imagine if a government database entry was keeping you out of a job, a home or from going to school. This is the reality for roughly 1 in 3 Americans, for whom a long-ago interaction with police may have led to an arrest or conviction record. In the digital era, landlords, employers and educators use criminal records to screen applicants, meaning that any record — no matter how small or long ago — is now a life sentence to poverty for millions of Americans. Across the country, many states have attempted to put in place comprehensive expungement and record clearance measures, but federal criminal records still prevent people from rebuilding their lives and participating in society. |

OPINION | When decision-makers get locked into a path, they almost intuitively build up regimes, institutions, and rules that reinforce their decision, no matter how suboptimal that path may be. It makes it very difficult, and expensive in the short term, to leave that path. We just witnessed a true-life example of Nobel Laureate Economist Kenneth Arrow's Path Dependence or Increasing Returns theory. |
