In an impassioned appeal, President Joe Biden’s wife, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, has called on Americans to “choose good over evil” by supporting her husband in the upcoming 2024 election.
In an interview on ABC’s The View, the first lady offered a glimpse into the administration’s campaign strategy and addressed concerns about the president’s age.
With emphasis on the high stakes of the election, Jill asserted, “This election is not about age. I mean, Donald Trump‘s going to be, what? 78? Joe’s 81. They’re basically the same age, right? But it’s about character. This election is about character, so you have two choices — you have my husband, Joe, who you all know, who has integrity, he’s strong, he’s steady, he’s a leader, he’s smart, he’s energetic — or you have chaos.”

Update: President Joe Biden responded to Donald Trump’s claim that he was orchestrating his prosecution and conviction.
“I didn’t know I was that powerful,” Biden told Fox News’ Steve Doocy as the president left the White House this evening, per a pool report.
Doocy also asked Biden whether he is worried that “this could happen to you someday.”
“Not at all. I didn’t do anything wrong. The system still works,” Biden said.
The president also said he had “no idea” whether the conviction will help his rival’s presidential campaign.
Previously: President Joe Biden weighed in on Donald Trump’s conviction today, defending the judicial process while warning critics that it was “reckless” and “dangerous” to characterize the proceedings as “rigged.”
“The American principle that no one is above the law was reaffirmed,” Biden said, in his first remarks since Trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

A lot has happened in the nearly eight years since Donald Trump descended the golden escalator at Trump Tower and announced that he was running for president. He won, he lost, he tried to overthrow the government, and on Thursday, he became — for the first time in the history of the presidency — a felon convicted by a jury of his peers.
On Friday, Trump once again called the media to the lobby of Trump Tower, where he responded to the conviction by railing against President Joe Biden, Judge Juan Merchan,...

Donald Trump Blasts Judge As A “Devil” And Justice System As “Rigged” In Speech After Guilty Verdict
Updated: Donald Trump seized on coverage of the historic guilty verdicts in his hush money trial to blast the judge as a “devil” and claim that the proceedings were rigged.
“If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone,” Trump said at the outset of his speech, carried across cable news networks.
As he has done throughout the proceedings, he used superlatives to describe what has happened, this time calling it “fascist.”
From the same Trump Tower lobby where he first announced his presidential bid nine years ago, Trump alternated between his campaign talking points and many of the lines that he often recited in his many appearances during breaks in the Manhattan court proceedings.
“This is a scam. It’s a rigged trial. It shouldn’t have been at that venue. We shouldn’t have had that judge,” Trump said, against the backdrop of American flags.

“The Apprentice,” a scathing portrait of a young Donald Trump, dominated the Cannes Film Festival, scoring with critics, sparking an eight-minute standing ovation and prompting a fiery response from the 45th president’s legal team.
But nearly two weeks after its “bigly” premiere, the film still doesn’t have a U.S. distributor. Despite strong reviews, feverish media attention, a red-hot director in Ali Abbasi and a starry cast that includes Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong, “The Apprentice” remains up for grabs.
Sources close to the dealmaking say there are several potential buyers in the mix representing both theatrical distributors and streamers, and new offers continue to trickle in. But one of those sources revealed that none of the major studios are bidding, including their specialty labels like the Disney-owned Searchlight, Sony Pictures Classics or Focus, which is owned by Universal.

The verdict, in the only one of four criminal cases against Trump to go to trial to date, could have far-reaching effects on his bid to recapture the White House in November. The first impact is likely to be a tidal wave of reaction across broadcast and social media to the outcome of a trial with no precedent in U.S. history.

For some reason, there has yet to be a mainstream Hollywood feature film about Donald Trump dramatizing any aspect of Trump's life, with an actor portraying him.
There have been countless documentaries about Trump, both for him and against him, and various comedians have portrayed him, including Alec Baldwin and later James Austin Johnson on Saturday Night Live.
The Comey Rule, a 2020 Showtime miniseries based on the memoirs of former FBI director James Comey, starred Brendan Gleeson as the 45th president, opposite Jeff Daniels as Comey.
At the same time, quite a few feature films, like The Oath in 2018 and Irresistible and The Hunt in 2020, have attempted to make dramatic hay out of the political controversies of the Trump years.

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are likely to interrupt one another during CNN’s telecast of the first presidential debate in the run-up to the 2024 election. But they will also be cut off by something else.
CNN plans to run commercials during the event, according to two people familiar with the matter, which has run free of ads for many years under the management of the non-partisan Commission on Presidential Debates. The candidates have in this cycle opted to forego the Cpd’s traditional structure, which calls for a series of debates to be held closer to the November election. They have instead come to separate terms with CNN for a debate to be held on June 27 and with ABC News for a debate to be held on September 10.

Buoyed by a two-year deal at HBO, a weekly CNN presence and a new book, Bill Maher now has decided to describe himself as a “centrist.” Is it a claim in vain?
Having watched his show for years and done several shows with him, I suspect he’s instinctively too “incorrect” to qualify for “moderation.” Strategically, some feel he shouldn’t even try.
The audience for stand-ups and for TV in general is changing noticeably, to some performers’ discomfort. At their annual upfronts, TV executives two weeks ago no longer were obsessed by that premium 18-49 age group, acknowledging that their remaining audience is becoming geriatric – 66 for the ABC network, for example, and 69 for Fox News.
Stand-up comics report their crowds at arenas or clubs are aging as well, and they are adjusting their routines accordingly. Even the jokes seem less coital, more socially consensual.

Twelve jurors in New York are preparing to hand down one of the most-anticipated criminal trial verdicts in American history. The decision will be historic, but will it be consequential?
According to an NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll released Thursday, more than two-thirds of registered voters say the jury finding Donald Trump guilty of falsifying business records in his hush-money trial won’t make much difference when they cast their ballots for president.

Representative Ro Khanna, who represents California’s 17th congressional district, held a fundraiser with Paris Hilton and Joseph Gordon-Levitt on May 28, The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively learned.
Khanna, a Democrat, is currently seeking reelection for his seat, competing against 26-year-old Republican candidate Anita Chen in the upcoming November election.

For months, Palestinian civilians were told to evacuate their homes and head to Rafah, a tiny Southern city designated a “safe zone” by Israel, while Israel conducted an aggressive military campaign throughout the rest of Gaza. Israel’s effort to root out members of Hamas in the wake of its Oct. 7 attack has come at a staggering cost: 36,000 dead and counting, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
In recent months, more than a million Palestinians, including 600,000 children, were pushed by Israel into makeshift shelters in the so-called “safe zone” in Southern Gaza.

A producer of The Apprentice claims that Donald Trump used the n-word on the set of The Apprentice and that the moment was captured on tape.
Bill Pruitt, who worked on the first seasons of the NBC reality show, writes in a story on Slate that Trump used the word while dismissing the idea that a Black contestant, Kwame Jackson, could be an early winner on the series.
There has long been intrigue over the outtakes from the show and the possibility that they contained Trump using the racist phrase. Tom Arnold claimed to have seen a tape, and even hosted a reality series of his own positing a hunt for the footage.
In the Slate piece, Pruitt writes that during a discussion with Trump over who should win — Jackson or Bill Rancic, who is white — Trump weighed the choice. According to Pruitt, when informed of some of Jackson’s attributes,...

Former President Donald Trump has lashed out at acclaimed actor Robert De Niro and branded him as “pathetic” and a “wacko” in the aftermath of De Niro’s scathing remarks against Trump outside a Manhattan courthouse.
Trump’s late-night tirade on Truth Social came in response to De Niro’s own blistering criticism, where the Oscar-winning actor accused Trump of wanting to destroy the world. De Niro, who has been a vocal critic of Trump for years, said in prepared remarks on Tuesday, “I owe this city a lot. And that’s why it’s so weird that Donald Trump is just across the street because he doesn’t belong in my city. I don’t know where he belongs, but he certainly doesn’t belong here. We New Yorkers used to tolerate him when he was just another grubby real estate hustler masquerading as a big shot.”

Eric Trump, the son of former President Donald Trump, was criticized for posting a statement about his family’s “sacrifice” on social media.
In a post on X on May 24, Eric replied to another post made on the same day by the pro-maga X account.
The post included an image of himself, his wife, Lara Trump, his father, former first lady Melania Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and his fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle standing together.
“The family that gave up everything to Save America,” the caption in Freedom’s post read. “Thank You!”
“And we will do it again,” the former president’s son wrote in response to the post.

First Lady Jill Biden swatted away suggestions that President Joe Biden is too old for the job, saying on ABC’s The View today that her husband, at 81, is “about the same age” as the assumed challenger Donald Trump, who turns 78 in two weeks.
“This election is not about age,” she said, adding, “This is about character.”
“You have to believe [Trump],” she continued, “when he uses words like ‘dictator,’ ‘bloodbath,’ ‘third term,’ ‘violence.’ We’ve seen it, so when he says these words believe him, don’t think this isn’t going to happen.”
Asked about polls that put Trump ahead of Biden, the First Lady said, “Those polls are going to turn, I’m confident of it, because as time goes on and people start to focus a little bit more about what’s at stake and start to become educated on the issues and the differences between the two men,...

After reports that an upside-down American flag had flown outside the Virginia residence of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito during the period surrounding Jan. 6, 2021, the conservative justice blamed the flag’s placement on his wife, Martha-Ann — claiming her actions were a result of a clash over a neighbor’s anti-Trump yard sign and a verbal insult.
Now, the Alitos’ neighbors — Emily Baden and her then-boyfriend, now husband — are disputing the Alitos’ version of events, according to the The New York Times, which reviewed text messages and a police call to corroborate the claims.

In an interview with News 12 News Jersey, following his campaign rally in The Bronx, New York, political reporter, Tara Rosenblum asked if Trump was considering former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, who declared last week that she would vote for him in the 2024 presidential election.
“A big night last night, Nikki Haley making her first public remarks since dropping out of the race,” the reporter asked. “She said that Joe Biden has been a catastrophe, and she’s voting for you. I’m sure those were welcome remarks for you, but they also left a lot of people wondering if there is room for her on your team or, better yet, your ticket.”

In a new Joe Biden campaign advertisement, Robert De Niro declared that former president Donald Trump “snapped” after he lost the 2020 presidential election.
“From midnight tweets to drinking bleach to tear-gassing citizens and staging a photo-op,” De Niro recounted at the beginning of the advertisement. “We knew Trump was out of control when he was president, and then he lost the 2020 election and snapped.”
“Desperately trying to hold on to power,” he said while clips of the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack were shown in the ad. “Now he’s running again, this time threatening to be a dictator, to terminate the Constitution.”
De Niro’s “dictator” comment was in reference to his telling Fox News’s Sean Hannity during a town hall interview in December that he would only be a dictator on the first day of his presidency.
The campaign ad then showed a video of the former president saying at a rally in Dayton,...

Update: The federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s classified documents criminal case denied prosecutors’ efforts to limit the former president’s attacks on the FBI.
Trump had falsely suggested that the federal agents who searched his Mar-a-Lago estate in 2022 were part of a plot to assassinate him.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon wrote that Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team had failed to properly confer with Trump’s legal team before filing a motion to restrict Trump’s comments. She wrote that she found the Special Counsel’s “pro forma ‘conferral’ to be wholly lacking in substance and professional courtesy. It should go without saying that meaningful conferral is not a perfunctory exercise.”
“Sufficient time needs to be afforded to permit reasonable evaluation of the requested relief by opposing counsel and to allow for adequate follow-up discussion as necessary about the specific factual and legal basis underlying the motion,...

Updated, with Trump response: Robert De Niro was the surprise guest of Joe Biden’s presidential campaign for a press conference outside the Manhattan courthouse where closing arguments are taking place in Donald Trump’s hush money trial.
De Niro, who recently narrated a Biden campaign ad, warned of Trump’s potential return to the White House, calling him a “tyrant.”
“Now he’s promising to use our own military to attack U.S. citizens,” De Niro said. “That’s the tyrant, that is the tyrant he is telling us he will be, and believe me, he means it.”
“When Trump ran in 2016 it was like a joke,” he added. “This buffoon running for president. No, never could happen. We have forgotten the lessons of history that showed us other clowns who weren’t taken seriously until they became vicious dictators. With Trump, we have a second chance, and no one is laughing now.

Former President Donald Trump honored Memorial Day with a scorching post calling out current President Joe Biden and Judge Lewis Kaplan, among others. Trump initially posted an image of himself saluting a decorated wreath.
After, Trump posted, “Happy Memorial Day to All, including the Human Scum that is working so hard to destroy our Once Great Country.” In the lengthy post, Trump named E.

At the Libertarian Party’s national convention on Saturday, former President Donald Trump was loudly booed and heckled by attendees. When he came on stage, Trump was immediately met with jeers. Some of his supporters attempted to override the crowd’s negative reception by chanting, “We want Trump.”
The boos reached a peak when Trump asked the Libertarian attendees to “nominate me or at least vote for me” to “get rid of the worst president in history,” a dig at current President Joe Biden. As attendees became visibly and audibly upset, Trump followed up with another statement.
“Only do that if you want to win; if you want to lose, don’t do that. Keep getting your 3% every four years,” Trump said. After receiving hostile reactions, Trump concluded his speech after 34 minutes.
Despite the crowd’s opposition to Trump, the former president found common ground with voters on several topics.
