The first U.S. presidential debate between incumbent President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump on June 27 will feature two commercial breaks, no props, no live crowd and muted microphones except when recognized to speak.

2. The White House tried to dismiss viral clips showing President Joe Biden as frail or confused as “cheap fakes.” The clips of Biden at a G-7 photo op in Italy and an interaction with former President Barack Obama at a Los Angeles fundraiser are not fake at all and the American media knows this but have to protect Joe Biden. Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre condemned these videos, calling them misleading and criticizing right-wing critics for spreading misinformation and made it clear that she expects the media to clean this up for the Biden campaign.

More than 20 state attorneys general, including Alabama’s Steve Marshall, are calling on the Florida district court to deny a gag order request a Biden DOJ gag order intended to prevent Donald Trump from speaking about the 2022 FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago.
