  • Biden said that US commitment to NATO is "rock solid" and announced that he will host a NATO summit next year to mark 75 years of the alliance.
  • A bipartisan group of lawmakers have called on the Biden Administration to send fighter planes to Ukraine.
  • Democrats have received a 2024 boost with moderate Senator Jon Tester (D-MO) announcing that he will run for re-election in his vulnerable Montana Senate seat.
  • Three former Obama Administration Treasury officials are reportedly on Biden's Federal Reserve Vice Chair shortlist.
  • House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-CA) has attacked House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) decision to release Capitol Hill footage exclusively to Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
  • Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has further fuelled speculation of a presidential run by appealing to police officers in a tour of New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago – three Democrat strongholds which are regular targets of Republicans attacks on crime.
