Harris hits the campaign trail under spotlight as Biden faces mounting pressure to drop out
Vice President Kamala Harris touted the nation's domestic manufacturing resurgence under President Joe Biden on Thursday at a campaign stop in North Carolina, where the intense media interest reflected her status as the Democratic Party's most likely presidential nominee in the event that Biden drops his reelection bid. "The fact is, under Donald Trump, America lost tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs. And more than 1,000 factories closed under his watch," Harris said in Fayetteville.

But the plan underscores the growing uncertainty that Biden will be the Democratic presidential nominee in November who faces Trump. Biden, who is the p
Hunter Biden cites Trump ruling in seeking dismissal of gun and tax cases
Lawyers for Hunter Biden on Thursday asked federal judges in California and Delaware to dismiss the criminal tax and gun cases against him in their courts, citing a recent opinion by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and the related dismissal this week of the criminal classified documents case against former President Donald Trump. Biden's lawyers in motions filed in both courts pointed to those two opinions — which questioned the legality of the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith to prosecute Trump — in arguing that the appointment of U.S. Attorney David Weiss as special counsel for prosecutions of the son of President Joe Biden was unconstitutional. The motions follow the ruling Monday by Florida federal court Judge Aileen Cannon tossing out Smith's prosecution of Trump over his retention of classified documents after leaving the White House. Cannon, who herself cited Thomas' recent concurring opinion in another Trump case, ruled that Smith's appointment as special counsel violat
What happens next if Biden drops out of the presidential race
President Joe Biden is under siege from within his own party, as more Democrats — in private and in public — urge him to end his reelection bid in the wake of his damaging debate against Donald Trump. Biden's efforts to shore up confidence in his candidacy have failed to close the growing rift between him and his party. And while he has so far roundly rejected the calls to step aside, Biden said Tuesday that should a "medical condition" emerge, it could force him to rethink his decision to stay in the race. On Wednesday, Biden, 81, tested positive for Covid-19. His doctors say his symptoms are mild. Realistically, the on
