The vice president has been endorsed by Biden, 81, but has not received former President Barack Obama’s stamp of approval. Joe Biden is too frail to run in 2024 but he’s still our president?

Trump team paints Kamala as Biden 2.0 in wake of prez dropping re-election bid: ‘Just as much of a joke’
Donald Trump’s team is already strategizing to paint Vice President Kamala Harris as a repeat of President Biden after the octogenarian’s decision to drop his re-election bid on Sunday — and calling on the president to leave office immediately due to his apparent mental decline. Biden, 81, suspended his presidential rerun after weeks of Democrats pressuring him to drop out following his disastrous debate against Trump. With four weeks until the Democrat National Convention and less than four months before the general election, Trump’s team has pivoted to tearing down Harris. Trump’s team was quick to issue a statement saying Harris —...
Pete Alonso’s struggles continue as Mets flounder against Marlins again
MIAMI — Pete Alonso may have been the Mets’ lone All-Star, but he certainly hasn’t played like one lately. If his .576 OPS for July wasn’t a blemish enough entering Sunday, the slugging first baseman had three at-bats with runners in scoring position that could have altered the outcome against the Marlins, and failed to produce in all of them. The Mets’ lineup has cooled after a torrid stretch, leaving Alonso’s shortcomings more noticeable. On this day they lost 4-2 at loanDepot park and will now need a victory on Monday just to escape with a split in this four-game series against...
Karen Read case headed for ‘unprecedented’ territory as judge hears motion to dismiss murder charges
Karen Read’s case is headed for “relatively unprecedented” territory after her lawyers claimed the jurors agreed to acquit her of murdering her cop-boyfriend before a mistrial was declared, according to legal experts. A Massachusetts judge is set to rule on the issue Monday. “What makes this unprecedented is the jury’s gone. The jury has been discharged,” lawyer Mike Thaler told The Post. “They never had a verdict, and the lawyers are essentially asking to rule that there should have been a verdict on those charges.” Thaler’s firm is just blocks away from the Dedham courthouse where the blockbuster murder trial played out before...
White House touts Biden’s record in statement after he drops out of 2024 presidential contest: ‘Looks forward to finishing his term’
White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates heaped praise on President Biden’s record, touting the remaining agenda items he plans to complete over the rest of his term, he told The Post in a statement Sunday. “President Biden inherited an economy in freefall, a skyrocketing violent crime rate, and alliances in tatters from his predecessor. He turned that around to deliver the strongest economic growth in the world and the lowest violent crime rate in nearly 50 years, while making NATO bigger than ever,” the spokesman said in the immediate aftermath of Biden’s announcement. Democrats raise $46.7 million hours after Biden drops...
Aaron Judge blast not enough as Yankees stumble against Rays
At least for a few minutes Sunday afternoon, Aaron Judge woke up Yankee Stadium. His 35th home run of the season, a three-run shot in the seventh inning, briefly gave the crowd of 45,178 something to cheer about on a day filled with frustration and a dash of apathy. But it was only a temporary reprieve. The Yankees offered another tease in the ninth inning, when they got Judge to the plate as the potential tying run, but the comeback ended there as they stumbled through a second straight loss to the Rays, 6-4. The Yankees (59-42) spent the first four innings Sunday trying...
How Joe Biden can unleash ‘Dark Brandon’ and be Republicans’ worst nightmare in his final months
After weeks of external pressure, the president of the United States has conceded reality and stood down for a second term. In an irony that would seem absurd in any election cycle but this one, Joe Biden is now liberated to do exactly what he wants without fear of reprisal for the first time in what has been a half-century political career full of triangulation and calculation. He can even embrace the “Dark Brandon” persona his online fans have yearned for in recent years. The Delaware Democrat has faced his last election. He won’t have to placate the dispute-prone extremes of his party,...

‘West Wing’ creator Aaron Sorkin shares ‘script’ for how he’d save the Democrats — nominating Mitt Romney
Aaron Sorkin, the creator of the ’90s NBC drama “The West Wing,” suggested on Sunday that the Democratic Party nominate a Republican, Senator Mitt Romney, to stop former President Donald Trump. Back in 2012, Sorkin lobbied Obama to repeatedly call Romney a liar at debates. “Nominating Mr. Romney would be putting our money where our mouth is: a clear and powerful demonstration that this election isn’t about what our elections are usually about, but about stopping a deranged man from taking power,” Sorkin touted in an op-ed for the New York Times, before Biden announced his decision to not stand for re-election. Sorkin...

Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison promised to have a “transparent and orderly process” to select President Biden’s replacement as the presumptive nominee for president after his unprecedented decision to step down from the ticket on Sunday. Without delving into how the process would unfold, Harrison promised that the party would adhere to its rules now that Biden has announced he is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. “The work that we must do now, while unprecedented, is clear,” Harrison said. “In the coming days, the Party will undertake a transparent and orderly process to move forward as a united Democratic Party...

Harris quickly emerged as the front-runner to replace Biden as the Democratic Party’s standard bearer but has not dropped any major hints about whom she’d like to have as a running mate. Given the rushed circumstances of the decision, she will have very little time to vet them and ensure that they’d work well together. But with an intraparty scramble, it would appear likely...

Biden drops out — but polls show Trump still strong against Harris, Whitmer, Newsom in tight 2024 race
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump polls better against Vice President Kamala Harris than President Biden and all other Democrats floated as potential replacement options on the ticket, several surveys show. An NPR/PBS News/Marist College national poll released on July 12 found 50% of registered voters nationwide supported Biden’s 2024 candidacy, while 48% backed Trump, 78, in a head-to-head matchup. Harris, 59, received the same 50% support from registered voters — but Trump improved to 49% when not facing his 2020 opponent again. California Gov.

What Biden’s departure means for the race — and what Kamala Harris must do
President Biden’s historic but not-so-shocking choice to end his re-election campaign has upended the presidential race. Whether it helps the Democrats depends entirely on what they do now. Biden’s decision to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him may forestall the open convention many hope for. Technically Biden’s decision frees his delegates to vote their consciences. In practice, every delegate who had been pledged to Biden was vetted or selected by his campaign. Some will be party activists, but most will be Biden loyalists. It’s easiest for them to do what Biden asks and simply promote his understudy to the starring...

WASHINGTON — President Biden’s announcement that he was dropping out of the 2024 race stunned a number of White House and Biden campaign staffers who believed he would stay the course.

Kamala Harris doesn’t call herself presumptive nominee in first statement since Biden drops out
WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris said Sunday she would work to “unite” Democrats in her first statement since President Biden dropped his bid for a second term — though she didn’t declare herself the party’s presumptive nominee. Biden endorsed Harris, 59, in a statement ending his candidacy, but key party leaders, including former President Barack Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) did not immediately back her, nor did a possible challenger, Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois. Harris, who would be America’s first female president, said she was “honored” to have the 81-year-old president’s endorsement and that it was “my intention is to earn and win this...
Barack Obama doesn’t endorse Kamala Harris, says Dems will pick ‘outstanding nominee’
WASHINGTON — Former President Barack Obama didn’t endorse Kamala Harris — saying Democrats would pick an unnamed “outstanding nominee” in his first statement on President Biden stepping aside from the party’s ticket. Obama, 62, was joined by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in not immediately backing the 59-year-old vice president — following reports last week that both favored an “open” process to replace Biden. “We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead,” Obama said. “But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges.” Some Democrats fear that Harris could further diminish...
