Story

Washington Examiner Managing Editor Chris Irvine and Investigations Editor Sarah Bedford talk about how President Joe Biden is doing with minority voters in his 2024 campaign. They are worried that the attention on former President Donald Trump and his legal issues might make Trump look like a hero. They wonder how Biden will handle this situation if it helps Trump instead. They also discuss if Hunter Biden's upcoming trial could harm Biden's campaign. The National Association of Broadcasting (NAB) planned to give actor Robert De Niro an award for his service but changed their mind. This decision came after De Niro spoke at a Biden-Harris press conference and criticized Trump. The NAB said they support free speech but felt De Niro's recent actions would take away from the event's purpose. De Niro expressed support for Biden and urged people to vote for him to protect their freedoms. De Niro was supposed to receive an award from the NAB but will no longer be honored. The organization wants to focus on recognizing the work of others without distractions. De Niro's recent activities, including his comments about Trump, led to this decision. De Niro attended a press conference with Biden's campaign outside Trump's trial, where he warned about the dangers of Trump becoming president again. De Niro's award from the NAB was withdrawn after he made controversial statements about Trump. The NAB aims to celebrate the work of local broadcasters and partners in a bipartisan manner. De Niro's involvement with Biden's campaign and his criticism of Trump caused a distraction from the event's purpose. The NAB decided to exclude De Niro from the award ceremony to maintain focus on honoring others.
