On MSNBC, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said it's up to the president to decide if he should stay in the race, rather than her saying he should stay in. "We're all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short." The president insists he will not step aside. "What's going on this week is really a family matter." Just weeks after hosting a glitzy Biden campaign fundraiser, actor George Clooney says it's time to end the campaign. He writes in a New York Times op-ed, the Joe Biden he saw last month was not the Biden of 2020, but rather the same man we all witnessed at the debate. With another House lawmaker calling on him to step aside, the president will face another public test tomorrow at a news conference wrapping up the NATO summit. The final communique from that summit declares Ukraine as on an irreversible path to NATO membership, albeit after its war with Russia ends. Meantime Secretary of State Antony Blinken says Ukraine's Air Force is getting a boost. "The transfer of F-16 jets is underway, coming from Denmark, coming from the Netherlands, and those jets, those jets will be flying in the skies of Ukraine this summer." Israel has urged all Palestinians to leave Gaza City spokesman David Mancer. "We have no interest in harming civilians in Gaza City or anywhere else. We're trying to get to the terrorists, where the terrorists attack from, or where they have set up base." Las Vegas has hit 115 degrees for a record fifth consecutive day.
