Protestors have been apprehended by authorities after interrupting Benjamin Netanyahu 's joint address to Congress . The activists revealed bright yellow t-shirts emblazoned with 'SEAL THE DEAL NOW' that had previously been hidden behind zipped jackets and buttoned-up dress shirts. The protests were quiet, however, not halting the Israeli prime minister's speech. House Speaker Mike Johnson sent out a warning earlier this week instructing against outbursts during the address, saying those who do will be quickly apprehended and 'subject to arrest.' Immediately after the outburst, Capitol Police moved in to swiftly arrest the protestors and escorted them out of the chamber.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Tuesday said he was ready and willing to take on Kamala Harris in a debate after she was anointed as his new opponent. The next debate was due to be Trump against Joe Biden on Sept. 10, hosted by ABC. But that was in doubt after Biden dropped out and the former president expressed doubts about letting the network take charge.

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle plans to officially announce her resignation today, new reports reveal.

A fundraising boom and rise in Democrat enthusiasm after Vice President Kamala Harris took over Joe Biden's campaign still might not be enough to launch her to victory in November. Multiple polls taken after or in the days surrounding Biden ending his reelection bid on Sunday show Donald Trump ahead of Harris - and sometimes by even larger margins than he was beating Biden. The surveys reveal that the former president leads the vice president by up to 9 percent and by at least 2 percent as Harris became the Democratic Party's presumed nominee this week.

Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance made his first solo appearances on the campaign trail Monday in his home state of Ohio. He came fresh from his first rally appearance with Trump since becoming his running mate at the weekend. The race was upended on Sunday when President Joe Biden announced he was standing aside.

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle was accused of being 'full of s***' and giving less answers than a toddler as she was ripped to shreds by lawmakers during a grilling over Donald Trump's assassination attempt.

Kamala Harris lavished President Joe Biden with praise on Monday after he endorsed her to be the Democratic nominee for president and prepared to visit her new campaign office.  The vice president made her first public appearance since Biden exited the presidential race, hosting an event for National Collegiate Athletic Association championship teams from the 2023-2024 season on the South Lawn of the White House. Biden was supposed to headline the long-scheduled event but the duties passed to Harris when he tested positive for COVID.

Talk show host Montel Williams may have briefly dated Kamala Harris but that does not mean she can rely on his support. As news circulated that President Joe Biden was standing aside and endorsing his vice president, Williams weighed in on social media declaring that he was ready to campaign. But not for her necessarily. Instead he said he was ready to get behind Wes Moore, governor of Maryland and someone seen as a future presidential candidate or 2024 VP pick.

President Joe Biden is no longer running for reelection in 2024.  After a disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump in Atlanta on June 27 and multiple calls for him to drop out, Biden officially ended his presidential bid.  For months questions stirred behind the scenes about Biden's fitness for office, but after the debate Democratic party members, donors, strategists and even lawmakers started to say the quiet part out loud. 

Donald Trump slammed Joe Biden as the 'worst president' in history in the moments after his Democratic rival dropped out of the 2024 race. Trump told CNN that Biden 'is the worst president in the history of our country. He goes down as the single worst president by far in the history of our country."  He also Vice President Kamala Harris will be easier to defeat than Biden would have been. 

As Joe Biden, 81, recovers out-of-sight at home from COVID-19 , 78-year-old Trump walked out to a thunderous welcome, providing an extroardinary political split screen for the 2024 election.

Donald Trump's voice cracked with emotion on Thursday night as he described the way an assassin's bullet sliced through his ear. His family, aides and lawmakers say he is a changed man after surviving the attack last weekend. 'As you already know, the assassin's bullet came within a quarter of an inch of taking my life,' he said. 'So many people have asked me what happened, and therefore, I'll tell you what happened, and you'll never hear it from me a second time, because it's too painful to tell.'

Melania Trump, in a bright red skirt suit, made a dramatic entrance into the Republican National Convention on Thursday night, walking into the arena to cheers and the music from Beethoven's symphony no. 9. She was introduced as the future first lady. She walked into the Trump family box to take a seat by J.D. Vance, her husband's vice presidential nominee. But Donald Trump had already exited the box to prepare to address the delegates.

Donald Trump touted the chart that 'saved my life' by causing him to turn his head at the moment would-be assassin reigned down bullets at his Pennsylvania rally on Saturday. Speaking at the conclusion of the Republican Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Thursday, the former president was able to crack a joke about the assassination attempt after getting emotional earlier in his remarks when recounting the attack. Trump gave a moment-by-moment retelling of the events he experienced at his last rally and said he would never talk about it again because it's 'too painful.'

President Joe Biden arrived back in Delaware Wednesday night after testing positive for COVID-19 while on the campaign trail in Las Vegas. The maskless 81-year-old - whose political future is in jeopardy due to age-related concerns - walked very slowly off of Air Force One, pausing multiple times, before putting a mask on inside the black SUV that is carting him off to Rehoboth.

Wednesday is Veep day and the moment when J.D. Vance is launched into primetime as Donald Trump's running mate with the keynote speech at the Republican Convention. He was unveiled as the former president's pick on Monday but most of the country knows little about the former Marine-turned-bestselling author who could be the next vice president.

Kai Trump made her debut campaign trail speech on the massive national stage of the Republican Convention on Wednesday where she hinted at a future in politics. Donald Trump Jr. gave up his microphone time to allow his 17-year-old daughter to take over for a few minutes, claiming she called Monday to ask him to speak after the assassination attempt on her grandfather's life. Former President Donald Trump's eldest grandchild made her first foray into the campaign trail with her remarks in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where she 'shared a side of my grandpa that people don't often see.'

Usha Vance is stepping into the spotlight. The stunning woman is the wife of JD Vance , the Republican Ohio senator tapped to be Donald Trump 's 2024 running mate.But Vance is an extremely accomplished woman in her own right.

The 81-year-old president was forced to cancel a speech in Las Vegas during a campaign trip after a taking a test when he started getting a runny nose and coughing. As he slowly boarded Air Force One maskless for the flight back to the East Coast to begin isolation, he gave a thumbs' up and said: 'I feel good'. The White House physician said Biden was feeling 'general malaise' and will now self-isolate in Delaware . The West Wing added that the president is vaccinated and boosted, and took a dose of Paxlovid on Wednesday afternoon. Earlier on Wednesday he was speaking to supporters at a restaurant while Democrats reignited calls for him to step down from the 2024 presidential race. In an interview this week he said he would only drop out if doctors told him to and he had a medical that made it necessary.

J.D. Vance slammed the 'dishonest' media  on Wednesday when he held his first campaign fundraising event since joining the Trump ticket. He demonstrated the attack credentials that impressed Donald Trump in front of about 200 supporters gathered at a science center on the shores of Lake Michigan. 'The media keeps on saying they want somebody to tone down the temperature,' he said. 'Well, Donald Trump got shot and he toned down the temperature. That's what a real leader does.'

The footage shot by a member of the crowd appears to show the 20-year-old gunman walking near the building he climbed on 60 minutes later to open fire at the former president in Butler, Pennsylvania. In the harrowing clip obtained  by WTAE , the shooter doesn't appear to be holding the AR-style rifle he later used to shoot Trump through the ear. The cameraman revealed he was trying to capture the huge crowd waiting to watch the Republican nominee speak, but quickly realized he had caught more terrifying detail. It follows a series of stunning developments that raise more questions about the massive security failure that led to the attempt on Trump's life.

Joe Biden revealed the one reason he would exit the presidential race as more and more Democrats call for him to step aside. He said it would take his doctor telling him directly that he had a medical condition that made that necessary.  'If I had some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, if doctors came to me and said, you got this problem and that problem,' Biden said in an interview with BET news.

If Monday was the resurrection, with talk of miracles and divine intervention when a bandaged Trump made his first public appearance after being shot, then Tuesday was the healing. At the second day of the Republican convention in Milwaukee, the former president was lauded by former opponents who months ago called him unhinged or rubbished his election prospects. 'America has an amazing ability to self-correct,' said Nikki Haley , Trump's last primary opponent. 'In this moment, we have a chance to put aside our differences and focus on what unites us and strengthens our country.'
