At a North Carolina event not 24 hours after he left the post-debate Waffle House appearance where he looked far more energetic than what he had shown on the stage, Biden admitted he wasn\u2019t as good at debating as he had been in his youth. <\/p>\n<p>White House press secretary <strong>Karine Jean-Pierre <\/strong>reminded reporters several times in the last week the president had a cold, hampering his ability to speak forcefully and bringing down his energy level. <\/p>\n<p>With the president showing no signs of offering to step aside in favor of Vice President<strong> Kamala Harris<\/strong> or anyone else, there is little anyone can do to force a change at the top of the ticket \u2014 but that hasn\u2019t stopped some of Biden\u2019s former challengers from piling on the criticism. <\/p>\n<p>Presidential candidate and author <strong>Marianne Williamson<\/strong> talked with White House Reporter <strong>Naomi Lim<\/strong> about the disaster she saw \u201cblow up\u201d in the Democratic National Committee\u2019s face after they boosted Biden. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was the wrong thing to do to suppress other candidates,\u201d Williamson told Naomi of the DNC. \u201cHow can a party saying we\u2019re working to save democracy say, except in this case, where we believe that even if democracy is so important that we need to suppress democracy?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact that this sort of blew up in their face, I think it almost was going to blow up in somebody\u2019s face regardless of what the specific detail was because it was simply wrong,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was not in alignment with the highest integrity. It wasn\u2019t in alignment with democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What started as backroom whispers and anonymous quotes from representatives and senators questioning Biden\u2019s ability to win in November has started to turn into a torrent of doubt. <\/p>\n<p>Rep. <strong>Lloyd Doggett <\/strong>(R-TX) was the first elected Democrat to go on the record with a demand for Biden to step aside earlier this week. <\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, reports filtered out that Biden told a group of Democratic governors who made their way to the White House to be reassured by the president that he has admitted he needs to get more sleep and to stop scheduling events for after 8 p.m. <\/p>\n<p><em>Click <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3070553\/williamson-slams-dnc-decision-to-boost-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><em>here<\/em><\/a><em>  to read more about Williamson\u2019s and Democrats\u2019 frustrations with the DNC.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Golden State\u2019s debt dilemma<\/h2>\n<p>California is struggling to balance its budget after Gov. <strong>Gavin Newsom<\/strong> (D-CA) oversaw the state\u2019s coffers go from having a $100 billion surplus to a $45 million deficit in the course of two years. <\/p>\n<p>And rising debt is a problem for more than just the elected officials in Sacramento, according to Trending News Editor <strong>Heather Hamilton<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeveral <a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/california\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>California<\/a> cities are leading the United States with residents facing a rise in <a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/credit-cards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>credit card<\/a> delinquencies,\u201d Heather writes. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cA new <a href=\"https:\/\/wallethub.com\/edu\/cities-where-credit-card-delinquency-is-increasing-most\/136688\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>report<\/a> from WalletHub found that Chula Vista, a suburb of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/san-diego\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>San Diego<\/a>, has seen the greatest increase in residents struggling to pay their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/debt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dc-pastor-allegedly-used-coronavirus-relief-funds-to-buy-39-cars-and-a-house\/\" title=\"DC Pastor Allegedly Used Coronavirus Relief Funds To Buy 39 Cars And A House\">credit card bills<\/a><\/a>, with an 85% rise in credit card delinquencies in the first quarter of 2024 when compared to the same time period one year ago.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The cost of living is pushing people to turn to credit cards more often.
