Us Senate Panel Advances Measure On Russian Propaganda And Election Meddling

Senator John Fetterman tells CNN's Jake Tapper "I do believe that Joe Biden is going to carry" Black voters by wide margins in November, but the election is "going to be very close."

In an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, Senator John Fetterman stands firm on his call for Senator Bob Menendez to resign as Menendez fights corruption charges in a New York court.

By now, it looks like appearing on national television and refusing to commit to certifying the 2024 general election results is a requirement for Trump vice-presidential hopefuls. Sen. Tim Scott (R-S. C.), Sen. J. D. Vance (R-Ohio), and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N. Y.)—all of whom are among the possible candidates, NBC News reported last week—have all failed to answer “yes” when television hosts have asked them if they will commit to accepting the results no matter who wins.

For weeks preceding President Biden’s commencement speech on Sunday at Morehouse College—a historically Black men’s college in Atlanta—students and faculty opposed his appearance, alleging that the president should not be the guest of honor given his ongoing support for Israel’s war in Gaza. As student protests swept through other colleges and universities, even forcing the cancellation or readjustment of commencement ceremonies, Morehouse students spoke to the press about their discomfort with Biden’s appearance.

ATLANTA — President Joe Biden on Sunday told the graduating class at Morehouse College that he heard their voices of protest over the Israel-Hamas war, and that scenes from the conflict in Gaza have been heartbreaking. “I support peaceful nonviolent protest,” he told students, some who wore keffiyeh scarves around their shoulders on top of their black graduation robes.

Sometimes things just happen, but when the President of Iran’s helicopter crashes, and his foreign minister was on the copter, too, one wonders if it's more than coincidence.
