Pollster Nate Silver said President Biden should resign in a post on the social platform X on Wednesday. "Is there any particular reason to assume Biden is competent to be president right now? It's a very difficult job," Silver wrote in his post. "It's a dangerous world. Extremely high-stakes decisions in Ukraine. He should resign and let Harris serve out the last 2 months." Silver's post also featured a screenshot of a report from The Washington Post, and a link to the article. The Post reporting centered on Biden's relationship with the press as he prepares to exit the White House. Biden, according to the Post, did not spend much of his time talking publicly during his recent visit to South America. read more

However, that is not the case," Michael McCord, the Department of Defense Under Secretary of Defense and Chief Financial Officer, told reporters today. "I believe the department has turned a corner in its understanding of the challenges, and more importantly, in addressing those challenges, momentum is on our side." The annual audit is conducted by the DoD's Office of Inspector General along with an independent public accounting firm that examined $4.1 trillion in assets and $4.3 trillion in liabilities. read more
