The sharks circle Joe Biden

GLOBAL
About this episode

George Clooney leads a growing list of people who have called on Joe Biden not to stand again in 2024.

Will this shift the White House thinking on this thorny matter? Or will it take former Democratic presidents to weigh in before anything changes.

Last night House Democrats seemed resigned to the status quo after their caucus behind closed doors.

Biden is currently meeting Keir Starmer and others to celebrate NATOs birthday. NATO a full six years younger than Joe. And how is Trump responding to the idea Biden might walk? He's about to choose his VP, as we gear up for the Republican National Convention next week. We'll be there.
