President Joe Biden is still dealing with the political fallout of his weak performance at the 2024 presidential debate, while former President Donald Trump is celebrating a big win after the Supreme Courts ruling in his immunity case.

The two presumptive presidential nominees met face-to-face for the first time in the 2024 election cycle at a debate hosted by CNN last Thursday. Bidens unsteady performance there has dominated the headlines since, leading some Democrats to privately question if he should step aside as the Democratic nominee.

On Monday, the Supreme Court handed Trump a victory when it released its opinion on Trump v. U.S., which declares that Trump has complete legal immunity for actions during his presidency that were official in nature, although not for those that were unofficial.

The ruling makes it highly unlikely that Trumps trial on charges related to inciting the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, will take place before the November election. It also complicates his other ongoing legal proceedings, including his recent hush money conviction .

Semafor reported.

Former Bill Clinton aide James Carville, in the conference call with SuperPAC American Bridge, told donors to cut off money to politicians who won't take their side over Biden.

Reid Hoffman adviser Dmitri Mehlhorn argued that Biden should stay in the race because swing voters like Vice President Kamala Harris even less than they like Biden.

Kamala Harris is more threatening to those swing voters than a dead Joe Biden or a comatose Joe Biden, he said. So if Joe has to go, its gonna be Kamala and if its Kamala, its gonna be harder.

The call shows how much wealthy donors are panicking and looking for guidance on what to do next. What can we as donors do to encourage the change in the ticket? asked one.","source":"","title":"Dem Consultants: What's Worse, Kamala Harris Or 'Dead Or Comatose'

Dem Consultants: What's Worse, Kamala Harris Or 'Dead Or Comatose' Biden?

In a private call with wealthy, panicked Democratic donors, consultants debated the merits of pushing Biden out of the race, Semafor reported .

Former Bill Clinton aide James Carville, in the conference call with SuperPAC American Bridge, told donors to cut off money to politicians who won't take their side over Biden.

Reid Hoffman adviser Dmitri Mehlhorn argued that Biden should stay in the race because swing voters like Vice President Kamala Harris even less than they like Biden.

Kamala Harris is more threatening to those swing voters than a dead Joe Biden or a comatose Joe Biden, he said. So if Joe has to go, its gonna be Kamala and if its Kamala, its gonna be harder.

The call shows how much wealthy donors are panicking and looking for guidance on what to do next. What can we as donors do to encourage the change in the ticket? asked one.
