Wake up with the Washington Examiner: Biden on the burner and Congress gets back to work

Published July 8, 2024 8:17am ET



Biden’s big week

President Joe Biden is ready to put last week in the rearview mirror. We had a comprehensive look at just how bad his week following a disastrous debate performance with former President Donald Trump was, in case you were enjoying some time away from the news with your Fourth of July holiday. 

But like it or not, the fractured alarms about Biden’s fitness to continue as the Democratic Party’s nominee will centralize in Washington when members of Congress return to work on Monday evening. Spending the long recess back home didn’t stop a handful of House members from chiming in that Biden is not the party’s best chance for success to beat Trump in November, and as Congressional Reporter Cami Mondeaux points out for us this morning, all of them piling into one building isn’t likely to tamp down the concerns.
