DRIVING THE DAY

President JOE BIDEN launched his campaign for reelection this morning, casting the upcoming election as a battle to secure Americans’ fundamental liberties.

In a digital video clocking in just over three minutes, Biden makes a direct-to-camera appeal over clips of himself and VP KAMALA HARRIS traversing the country during their first term interlaced with with scenes from the Jan. 6 insurrection, abortion rights protests, and the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice KETANJI BROWN JACKSON. Watch the full video 

“Around the country, MAGA extremists are lining up to take those bedrock freedoms away,” Biden says over photos of DONALD TRUMP, RON DeSANTIS and MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE. “Cutting Social Security that you’ve paid for your entire life while cutting taxes for the very wealthy, dictating what health care decisions women can make, banning books, and telling people who they can love — all while making it more difficult for you to be able to vote.”

The spot calls back to his last election announcement, four years ago to the day, which featured images of white supremacists marching on Charlottesville, Va.: “When I ran for president four years ago, I said we are in a battle for the soul of America, and we still are,” Biden says. “The question we are facing is whether in the years ahead we have more freedom or less freedom, more rights or fewer.”

Alongside the video, Biden named his senior campaign team this morning: Campaign manager JULIE CHÁVEZ RODRÍGUEZ, who will leave her post as White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs, and principal deputy campaign manager QUENTIN FULKS, who ran Sen. RAPHAEL WARNOCK’s 2022 reelection bid.

Serving as national campaign co-chairs are Reps. LISA BLUNT ROCHESTER (D-Del.), JIM CLYBURN (D-S.C.) and VERONICA ESCOBAR (D-Texas), Sens. CHRIS COONS (D-Del.) and TAMMY DUCKWORTH (D-Ill.), Michigan Gov. GRETCHEN WHITMER and entertainment mogul JEFFREY KATZENBERG.

BIDEN AND HARRIS TODAY: Both the president and VP are appearing at events in Washington that telegraph how the campaign is thinking about what constituencies and issues are key to the 18-month battle ahead.

Biden will address the National Building Trades Union, whose members benefited from the administration’s key legislative achievements — the bipartisan infrastructure bill, the CHIPS Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act.

Harris is holding an event at Howard University on focused on abortion rights, addressing a crowd of young Black potential voters — groups whose support Biden and Harris will be banking on next year.

McCARTHY’S DOUBLE DOG DARE — Meanwhile in the House, Speaker KEVIN McCARTHY has some tough love for his Republican colleagues who want to play hardball on the debt limit bill he’s sending to the House floor this week: Stop negotiating, suck it up and vote yes.

“I was told it’s closed — it’s not getting changed,“ Majority Whip TOM EMMER (R-Minn.) told our colleagues Olivia Beavers, Meredith Lee Hill and Sarah Ferris yesterday.

It’s a legislative goal-line plunge. Now a few votes short, McCarthy is daring any holdouts to stop him from crashing into the end zone by presenting them with a stark choice: Either accept the package as is and get McCarthy to the negotiating table, or swallow a debt limit increase without any spending cuts and red-meat policy solutions.

Or as Emmer put it, “do you want to have a solution and avoid default? Or do you want to give Joe Biden and CHUCK SCHUMER a blank check, with no fiscal reforms whatsoever?”

But that play call could run smack into problems as soon as this afternoon, when the House Rules Committee is expected to meet and prepare the legislation for the floor. As you’ll recall, McCarthy named several conservatives to the powerful panel, giving them huge leverage in the process.

Keep a close eye on Rep. CHIP ROY (R-Tex.), who helped broker the deal that handed McCarthy the speakership earlier this year, and Rep. THOMAS MASSIE (R-Ky.), the libertarian firebrand. Both are among the scores of House Republicans who have never before voted for a debt ceiling increase.

McCarthy could still face trouble on other fronts. Last night, Rep. MATT GAETZ (R-Fla.) said he wouldn’t vote for the bill unless new work requirements in the package are made to take effect later this year, rather than next year. “Otherwise, it’s a no vote from me,” he said.

Gaetz has a following, and it’s hard to imagine him opposing the bill without a number of other conservative members joining his protest. “It’s important to get Gaetz to yes,” one senior Republican lawmaker told Playbook, arguing that the Florida Republican’s demand is “not realistic.”

What’s more, making such a change could repel moderate Republicans from swing districts who, as Roll Call’s Lindsey McPherson reports, are already backing the bill despite the fact that they could face political blowback.

McCarthy, who can lose no more than four votes, has concluded that negotiating further changes will only invite an endless game of whack-a-mole. “Either we’re going to take things out and lose Freedom Caucus members, or we’re going to add things and we’re going to lose the moderates,” the senior Republican lawmaker said. “It’s a pretty fragile framework.”

As this little drama plays out, we have to note the irony that McCarthy is effectively borrowing a page from Biden’s playbook: Just as Democrats have maintained a no-negotiations position on adopting a clean debt limit increase, McCarthy is insisting that Republicans swallow his counter-proposal whole.

In both cases, it’s a strategic stance meant to keep concessions to the other side to a minimum. If McCarthy is going to finally force Democrats out of a staring contest and into bona fide negotiations, today will be a key moment in figuring out whether he can make his own conference blink.

ALSO HAPPENING TODAY — There’s so much news happening that it’s easy to lose sight of how astonishing this is: Starting today, former President Donald Trump will go on trial in a case where he’s accused of rape. From Manhattan, Erica Orden previews the E. JEAN CARROLL civil trial, which kicks off with jury selection in federal court as she sues him for sexual assault and defamation. If Carroll wins, “it would be the first time Trump has been held legally responsible for sexual assault, despite dozens of women who have accused him of that crime and other sexual misconduct.”

ANCHORS AWAY — The seismic firings of Fox News’ TUCKER CARLSON and CNN’s DON LEMON continued to rock the media and political landscapes yesterday. And more information emerged about how two of the most controversial and prominent men on TV lost their jobs, especially Carlson — who’s been one of the most important people in Republican and far-right politics for years. Trump world was “stunned” by his firing, per the NYT.

Both Carlson and Lemon have retained entertainment lawyer BRYAN FREEDMAN to represent them, per Brian Stelter.

A variety of explanations have emerged for what went sour with Carlson at Fox, coming right on the heels of its massive defamation settlement with Dominion Voting Systems.

  • The WSJ reports that LACHLAN MURDOCH and SUZANNE SCOTT made the call Friday — but Carlson found out just 10 minutes before the rest of the world yesterday.
  • The L.A. Times reports that the decision came directly from RUPERT MURDOCH, along with other execs and board members.
  • Fox executives were miffed by Carlson’s messages, revealed in discovery during Dominion’s suit, that bad-mouthed Fox, per the Journal.
  • Rupert Murdoch also disliked Carlson’s apologist coverage of the Jan. 6 insurrection, per the LAT.
  • Lawyers for ABBY GROSSBERG, the former Carlson producer who’s suing Fox for discrimination, claimed that Carlson’s ouster was directly related.
  • The Daily Beast reports that in addition to those factors, it really was Carlson’s comments about SIDNEY POWELL — which reportedly included especially vile and misogynistic terms — that pushed Fox over the edge and helped him get the ax.
  • And Vanity Fair’s Gabriel Sherman reports that Carlson “was in the midst of negotiating the renewal of his Fox News contract through 2029 … [and] expected the contract to be renewed.”

A different angle: “Rupert Murdoch’s management grows erratic,” by Semafor’s Max Tani: “Fox News allies Monday were already spinning Carlson’s firing as the product of wise leadership seeking to tamp down the flames of American division. But that explanation makes no sense. Carlson’s most divisive causes, like defending January 6 rioters, were hardly new. And three people who worked closely with Murdoch for years laughed off the notion that the nonagenarian had experienced a sudden attack of conscience.”

JUDICIARY SQUARE

FULL COURT PRESS — Ethical questions may start swirling around a different conservative Supreme Court justice: Heidi Przybyla reports this morning that Greenberg Traurig chief executive BRIAN DUFFY bought a Colorado property co-owned by Justice NEIL GORSUCH nine days after he was confirmed to the high court. Gorsuch didn’t disclose who’d purchased it on his official forms — and the buyer turns out to be one of the most important lawyers in the country. Gorsuch has since ruled in a dozen recorded cases with Greenberg clients or filings, though Duffy says he’s never argued before (or even met) Gorsuch.

It’s another example of the justices operating in ways that most other government officials would have to disclose, since SCOTUS isn’t bound by an ethical code. “Supreme Court rules do not prevent justices from engaging in financial transactions with people with interest in court decisions, but Gorsuch’s dealings with Duffy expose the weakness of the court’s disclosure procedures,” Heidi writes. Gorsuch didn’t respond for comment.

Most attention has been trained lately on Justice CLARENCE THOMAS, of course, and Bloomberg’s Zoe Tillman reveals the most recent twist in that story. Thomas has said he thought he didn’t have to disclose major gifts from GOP megadonor HARLAN CROW because Crow didn’t have business before the court. But in fact, Trammell Crow Residential Co. did have a case before the Supreme Court in 2005 — and there are no indications Thomas recused himself. (Crow’s office responds that he and his company had no involvement in the case.)

In the latest response from congressional Dems, Senate Finance Chair RON WYDEN (D-Ore.) yesterday asked Crow to provide an inventory of the gifts he’s given Thomas and for more info on the properties he bought. More from WaPo

TWO BIG GETS FOR TRUMP — The endorsement momentum in the GOP presidential primary has clearly been on Trump’s side lately, and it kept rolling yesterday as he picked up the support of former Rep. LEE ZELDIN (R-N.Y.) and Sen. STEVE DAINES (R-Mont.).

Zeldin is notable both because of his closer-than-expected campaign for New York governor last year and because he and DeSantis have rallied together twice in recent months. Just this month, NBC reported that Zeldin was “expected to be a top official in the state once DeSantis’ campaign becomes more official.”

Daines, meanwhile, is the critically important NRSC chair and a leading fundraiser for the GOP, who could lend Trump’s campaign credibility with establishment donors. (Daines, of course, would also like Trump not to torch his preferred Senate primary candidates.) He made the announcement on DONALD TRUMP JR.’s podcast last night.

TRUMP CARDS

MARK YOUR CALENDARS — Fulton County, Ga., DA FANI WILLIS said yesterday that any announcement of charges from her probe into the effort to overturn the 2020 election will come between July 11 and Sept. 1, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Tamar Hallerman and Bill Rankin scooped. That sets up a potential blockbuster summer decision in one of the criminal investigations that most threatens Trump and several of his national and state allies.

Reading the tea leaves: The news came in letters from Willis to law enforcement agencies urging them to prepare to protect the public if charges come — which legal observers told the newspaper “suggest[s] that Willis will seek charges against the former president.”

CONGRESS

CROCODILE TEARS OR BUYER’S REMORSE? — Sen. JOE MANCHIN (D-W.Va.) on Twitter: “The Biden administration is breaking its word to the American public by ignoring the text of the #InflationReductionAct to pursue its radical climate agenda. Let me be clear: if this continues, I’ll do everything in my power to stop them — including voting to repeal the IRA.”

IN THE SPOTLIGHT — “Why is Jamaal Bowman so angry?” by Semafor’s Kadia Goba: Rep. JAMAALBOWMAN says he’s reminding Americans ‘Black men are not a monolith’ and that there’s more ways to get out their message than President [BARACK] OBAMA’s more placid approach.”

AMERICA AND THE WORLD

CRISIS IN SUDAN — The warring sides in Sudan have agreed to a 72-hour cease-fire, building off a proposal from the U.S., Secretary of State ANTONY BLINKEN announced yesterday evening, per Axios. The breather is intended to allow humanitarian channels for food, medical services and the evacuation of foreigners — if it holds. It could also potentially lay the groundwork for a more permanent solution.

With official U.S. personnel already gone, thousands of Americans left in Sudan are relying on remote help from the U.S., national security adviser JAKE SULLIVAN told reporters. More from the AP

At the Port of Sudan, the U.S. is working with regional allies to get fleeing Americans over the border. The Defense Department is also weighing whether to send troops there to assist. More from CBS
