New Yorkers Divided on Biden-Trump Debate

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will have two debates. Some people in New York wonder if they really need to hear more from these two long-time opponents. MSNBC host Jen Psaki talked about Biden administration members and political opponents in 2024. She was on The Issue Is show to talk about her book Say More, where she talks about her career under Obama and Biden. The host, Elex Michaelson, asked her to say the first word that came to her mind about people she knew. She said Biden was "warm," Jill Biden was "smart," and Kamala Harris was "charismatic." Psaki called John Kerry "optimistic." When asked about Donald Trump, Psaki said "gross." Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. got the word "worms" from Biden's former press secretary. This was in reference to Kennedy's claim about a dark spot in his brain caused by a parasite, from which he says he has fully recovered. The debates might not happen because Trump often makes excuses and is unpredictable. But if they do happen, Team Biden will try to take advantage. The first debate is set for June 27. Biden wants to provoke Trump and challenge him, like the campaign has been doing on social media and in speeches. The debates are a rare chance for the Biden team to show the American public who they are choosing between this year. The Supreme Court's decisions this summer are very important. The timing of these decisions could be as important as the decisions themselves. The longer it takes, the less likely Trump will face any court before the election. One decision is about restricting access to a medication used in over half of U.S. abortions. I'm also watching decisions about guns, social media, gerrymandering, and more. Justices Alito and Thomas are getting older, and if Trump wins, he might get to appoint more justices. I'm curious to see what happens with the court through the election and beyond.
