The 2024 general election is heating up, with President Biden and former President Trump traveling the country as their parties' presumptive nominees.
Both candidates have made several stops in the key battleground states already and will be a regular presence there for the next 6 1/2 months. Even as tens of millions of people will vote in the general election across the country, just about a half-dozen states will likely determine the race. |

Rep. Summer Lee's primary victory over a more moderate Democrat in Pennsylvania this week offered a jolt of momentum for progressives and dialed up the urgency for those targeting the "Squad." It was a promising result for fellow Squad members, especially Democratic Reps. Jamaal Bowman (N.Y.) and Cori Bush (Mo.), who are both trying to fend off formidable primary threats of their own amid an influx of spending by pro-Israel groups looking to topple them. |

Recent breakthroughs in U.S.-China ties are already starting to fray over Beijing's support for Russia in Ukraine.
Despite renewed communications between Washington and Beijing, championed since late last year, the U.S. is angry about China's growing role in the Russia-Ukraine war, specifically its commercial support of Moscow's military production. |

The Biden administration's crackdown on power plants' planet-warming emissions will accelerate a shift away from coal, and potentially speed the U.S.'s adoption of renewable energy sources. The administration this past week announced a new rule that will require coal plants and new gas plants to install carbon capture technology to mitigate 90 percent of their emissions — or find another way to achieve the equivalent climate protections. |

Donald Trump has many enemies – or so he says. But it seems that David Pecker, the ex-National Enquirer publisher and lead witness in the Manhattan district attorney's case against the former president who has an immunity agreement with the very prosecutors targeting Trump, is not among them. |

Former President Trump went after Utah Sen. Mitt Romney (R) and endorsed his possible replacement in a post on Truth Social Saturday. "Trent Staggs is 100% MAGA, and is running to fill The Mitt Romney, a Total Loser, Seat as the next Senator from the Great State of Utah!" Trump said in his Saturday post. |

| U.S. intelligence agencies signal that Russian President Vladimir Putin may not have planned for Alexei Navalny to have died when he did, a new report said. The Wall Street Journal report said U.S. agencies have determined that Putin likely didn't order Navalny to be killed in February, but it doesn't entirely excuse him from responsibility. |

President Biden brushed off critiques about his age at what could be his last White House Correspondents' Association Dinner as the incumbent campaigns for another four years in the Oval Office. "The 2024 election is in full swing. And yes, age is an issue. I'm a grown man running against a six-year-old," Biden said from behind the podium at the annual event. |

| Saturday Night Live (SNL) star Colin Jost roasted politicians and praised journalists at the annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner on Saturday night, bringing humor at a time of political tension at home and deadly conflicts overseas. Jost, 41, kicked off his Saturday night address by throwing slight digs at both President Biden and former President Trump, frontrunners of their respective parties looking to win in November. |

| OPINION | It has become cliche to say we live in an age where words have lost their meaning. But the responses of many in the media and political classes to the recent wave of "Gaza solidarity encampments" on college campuses have reaffirmed the fact that there is often wisdom in cliches. When I went to see what was going on at the encampment at my school — The George Washington University — on Thursday morning, it was clear within minutes I was standing in the middle of a pro-war and pro-terrorist rally. |
OPINION | Does the president have immunity from criminal prosecution? Or, to put the question more finely, does Donald Trump? It should be an easy question for the textualist. Nothing in the Constitution grants him immunity. The framers knew how to put an immunity clause in the Constitution. Many of the states did; the framers chose not to. Case closed. |
