Yep (See my post above).
I’m not sure trying to remove Judge Cannon from the case for bias is the right strategy tbh - she has already made a ruling so that route would surely result in a mistrial which would be perfect for Trump.
There was a good interview with President Biden this evening with MSNBC after the assassination attempt and answering questions on the Judge Cannon ruling - Seemed rather robust tbh

We have an issue if Trump gets the White House, a few Labour ministers made comments about Trump thinking they wouldn't have to deal with him, however here we are.... Labour have overturned a massive Tory majority and Trump looks like he's getting back in.
The relationship will be toxic from day one.

Seriously?
Geeezus.
Maybe David Lammy calling the then-President Trump a “neo-Nazi-sympathizing sociopath” in a 2018 op ed in Times Magazine wasn’t such a good idea for a future Foreign Secretary in retrospect
Naive at best
On that we agree
Maybe it's just me but I don't think Team Trump spend an awful lot of time reading The Times MagazineSeriously?

If he didn’t hear about it at the time when he was President (which he probably did because his media team track that stuff daily) , he’s certainly heard about it since David Lammy was appointed Shadow Foreign Secretary - it’s been plastered across global media outlets for months .
Lammy says he could work with Trump after calling him a 'neo-Nazi-sympathizing sociopath'
Speaking to Sky's Yalda Hakim on The World, the shadow foreign secretary added that many MPs have "strong views" on Mr Trump but "we will work with whoever America elects".
Labour's David Lammy rejects call to label Donald Trump racist
The shadow foreign secretary says he will find "common cause" with the de-facto Republican presidential nominee.

btw - I have some sympathy for the views Lammy expressed

The Election thread seems to have fallen by the wayside a bit in recent days as we’ve all got caught up in the assassination of Trump’s upper earlobe so back on the campaign trail …
“Donald Trump’s choice of JD Vance as his vice-presidential pick has reignited fears in Europe that he would pursue a transactional “America first” foreign policy that could culminate in the US pushing for Ukraine to acquiesce to Vladimir Putin and sue for peace with Russia”
(Did anyone else read that as ’vice-presidential prlck’? .

Trump is now leading in all 7 swing states and Biden is polling behind 4 democrats in candidate preference. Top Democrats, including high ranking senator, Adam Schiff are still baying for Biden to step aside with two thirds of the democratic voters wanting Biden to go.

US politics latest: Harris holds 'frank and constructive' talks with Netanyahu and says there must be a ceasefire
Likely Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris's meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu follows his talks with President Joe Biden. It comes as a new poll shows Ms Harris has narrowed the gap against Donald Trump.

Yes, Joe Biden’s mind is a problem. So is his cold heart towards Palestinians | Ahmed Moor
Biden’s awful record on Gaza and decades of political baggage are more than enough reason to swap him for a real progressive

Nah...it won't affect anything. Vance was VERY rude about Trump in the past, and now he's his running mate.
If the relationship is toxic from the start, then it was going to be that whatever.

I see Biden is now spouting off about banning AR-15s - who in their right mind thinks this will be a vote winner in the USA at this moment in time? Now that is demented.

Starting around 42 seconds, Biden says, in response to a question about what might make he reconsider staying in the race:

Biden has Covid and is self-isolating. This after having a cough last week at the NATO conference.
Surely this - on top of Trump surviving the assassination attempt - must cause him to seriously reflect on stepping down.

If Biden was to step down, today would be the best day to do it. The Republicans will nominate Trump the evening and Biden stepping aside would totally steal his thunder. Which he'd hate.
