US

12:30 ET 17:30 BST: US President Joe Biden is shortly due to deliver his first public remarks since formally launching his campaign for a second term as president this morning.

  • Livestream:https://www.whitehouse.gov/live/
  • The remarks are officially scheduled to discuss Biden's "investing in America agenda" but according to a White House official he will also talk about “the potentially devastating impact of Speaker McCarthy’s push to raise energy prices and send manufacturing jobs overseas by repealing the Inflation Reduction Act’s clean energy tax credits.”
  • Semafor on the timing of Biden's campaign launch: "Team Biden had been weighing two competing arguments in settling on the timing of his reelection campaign announcement, according to a Democratic source familiar with the deliberations. On the one hand, aides thought he could wait to jump in and step back and allow Republicans to spar with one another. On the other hand, an earlier announcement would allow Biden to start fundraising."
