Biden intensifies his campaign in several key states to silence criticism

In the midst of criticism for his mediocre performance in the first debate of the race to the White House, President Joe Biden will travel over the next few days to the states of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, key to guaranteeing his victory against Donald Trump (2017-2021) in the November elections.

Meanwhile, his campaign team announced this Friday through a statement the launch of an “aggressive and specific” campaign to reach the voters of “disputed states that will decide this election.”

This weekend, Biden will travel to Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, which are part of the so-called ‘blue wall’ of the United States – which also includes Michigan -, states that since 1992, except for the exception of 2016, have voted Democrats.

According to the campaign, the Democratic Party has broken a record collection of 127 million dollars in June, an advantage that they will take advantage of for “new efforts in the field of organization and mobilization of critics, new strategic efforts in the paid media and an aggressive travel schedule led by President Biden.”

Among other things, a paid media campaign worth 50 million dollars will be held aimed at “key and high-impact moments that will attract a wide and diverse audience,” such as the Olympic Games.

In addition, at the Republican National Convention, where Trump is expected to accept the nomination and which will be held in two weeks in Milwaukee (Wisconsin), Democrats will also go to the city to face “the hatred and extremism of MAGA.”

Biden will also continue to do interviews, the campaign said, including one that will be broadcast tonight with journalist George Stephanopoulos and that will be broadcast on the ABC channel.

After this weekend’s trip to Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, President Biden will return to Washington for the NATO summit to be held next week.

He is scheduled to give an opening speech and participate in a press conference. As soon as the summit ends, he will return to the electoral campaign with a tour of the southwest focused on involving black and Latino voters.

During the Independence Day celebrations of July 4 that took place yesterday, Biden responded to those who ask him to continue in the electoral contest with a resounding “I’m not going anywhere.”

The president held a barbecue in the gardens of the White House to celebrate Independence Day and when he was spat by sympathizers with a “continues in the fight. We need you,” he replied: “Trust me. I’m not going anywhere.”

The president has been answering questions privately and in public for several days about whether he will be able to face a second term at the age of 81 and whether he is in a position to defeat Trump.

His bad performance in last week’s debate against Trump triggered speculation about whether he should be replaced before the August Democratic convention.

Biden confessed in a meeting this Wednesday with Democratic governors in the White House that he has to sleep more and will avoid organizing events after 8:00 p.m., according to several U.S. media.

Senator Van Hollen Meets with Deported MS-13 Member in El Salvador; Trump and Bukele React

U.S. Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen, representing the state of Maryland, held a meeting in El Salvador with deported MS-13 gang member Kilmar Ábrego García, a member of the criminal group classified by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization.

“Kilmar Ábrego García, miraculously resurrected from the ‘extermination camps’ and ‘torture chambers,’ now sipping margaritas with Senator Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!” wrote President Nayib Bukeleon X (formerly Twitter), sharing photos of Van Hollen, Ábrego García, and a lawyer sitting together at a Salvadoran hotel.

The deported gang member is seen wearing a plaid shirt and a flat-brimmed cap, seated at a table with glasses and coffee cups. The senator also shared images of the meeting on his own social media accounts.

Bukele reaffirmed that Ábrego will remain in El Salvador and will not be returned to the United States.

“Now that his health has been confirmed, he has earned the honor of remaining under the custody of El Salvador,” Bukele added.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump criticized the senator’s meeting with Ábrego on Truth Social, calling Van Hollen “a fool” for advocating for Ábrego’s return to the U.S.

Pope Francis Appears for Easter Blessing, Calls for Peace and Religious Freedom

Pope Francis, still recovering from pneumonia, appeared on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican on Easter Sunday and, with a faint voice, wished a “Happy Easter” to the thousands of faithful gathered to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ.

A month after being discharged from a lengthy hospital stay, the presence of the 88-year-old pontiff had remained uncertain, with the Vatican not confirming his attendance ahead of time.

Eventually, the pope made a brief appearance in a wheelchair shortly after 12:00 p.m. (10:00 GMT) to deliver his traditional “Urbi et Orbi” blessing (“to the city and to the world”).

Although no longer wearing an oxygen cannula, the Argentine Jesuit relied on a close aide to read his Easter message, which touched on major global conflicts.

Francis condemned the “dramatic and unworthy humanitarian crisis” in Gaza and called for a ceasefire, while also expressing concern over the “growing climate of antisemitism spreading across the globe.”

He further emphasized the importance of religious freedom and freedom of thought, stating that without mutual respect, “peace is not possible.”

Thousands rally nationwide against Trump’s threat to U.S. democracy

Thousands of protesters gathered on Saturday (April 19, 2025) in major cities like New York and Washington, as well as in small communities across the United States, in a second wave of demonstrations against President Donald Trump. The crowds denounced what they view as growing threats to the country’s democratic ideals.

In New York City, demonstrators of all ages rallied in front of the Public Library near Trump Tower, holding signs accusing the president of undermining democratic institutions and judicial independence.

Many protesters also criticized Trump’s hardline immigration policies, including mass deportations and raids targeting undocumented migrants.

“Democracy is in grave danger,” said Kathy Valyi, 73, the daughter of Holocaust survivors. She told AFP that the stories her parents shared about Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in 1930s Germany “are happening here now.”

In Washington, demonstrators voiced concern over what they see as Trump’s disregard for long-standing constitutional norms, such as the right to due process.
