Happy Independence Day.
We defeated one king. We can stop another.
Joe is always busy.
Biden to give extended interview to ABC News' George Stephanopoulos on Friday.
President Joe Biden will give an interview to ABC's George Stephanopoulos later this week, his first since the president's much-criticized performance during last week's debate.
Portions of the interview will air on ABC's “World News Tonight” on Friday [6:30 PM Eastern time] with the extended interview first airing on the network's “This Week” Sunday morning program, the network said Tuesday. [The program airs live at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time although many stations air the program at a later slot.]
There has been private discussion among Biden's campaign about what it can do to counteract last Thursday's debate, where the raspy-voiced president gave some convoluted and incomplete answers. It has given rise to some questions about whether the 81-year-old president should continue his campaign.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also said Tuesday that Biden plans to hold a press conference during the NATO summit next week in Washington.
Throughout Biden's presidency, there had been frequent complaints from the Washington press corps that he has seldom made himself available for extended interviews or news conferences, occasions for the public to see him tested to think on his feet.
Stephanopoulos works as “Good Morning America” and “This Week” host. He joined ABC News in 1997 after working for the Clinton administration in Washington. (ABC News)

Your Daily Reminder
Trump is a convicted felon.
On May 30th, he was found guilty on 34 felony counts by the unanimous vote of 12 ordinary citizens.
The Convicted Felon Donald J. Trump was scheduled to be sentenced on July 11. He will now be sentenced on September 18.
In honor of the 4th of July, do something to stop a Convicted Felon to occupy the White House.
Plan your election activities, Vote on the 1st Day you can. Tell everyone you voted.
Make calls. Write postcards. Get out the vote. Volunteer for a campaign. Take voters to the polls. Donate.
To repeat. As lawyer and legal commentator Joyce Vance said, “We each have the opportunity to join Justice Sotomayor in dissenting when we vote in November.”
Worry less. Do more.
