In an appearance on NBC News's Meet the Press, Schiff was asked if he agreed with Rep. Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) assessment that President Joe Biden bore some blame for the loss due to staying in the race so long. When pressed, Schiff shifted blame away from Biden, instead distributing blame across his entire party. "Look, I think the entire Democratic party bears the responsibility, myself included, and the former president ... mounted an effective campaign, and you have to give them credit for that," he said. "But the challenge that we have is we need to put forward a bold vision for how we're going to move the economy forward, make the economy work for every American," Schiff continued. "To me, the existential question is: if you're working hard in America, can you still earn a good living? And too many people doubt that that's possible."

President Biden has submitted a proposal to Congress to forgive half of Ukraine's debt related to economic assistance, amounting to approximately $4.65 billion, said State Department spokesman Matthew Miller. In the spring, Congress approved the Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, which allocated about $61 billion for Ukraine's security in April 2024. The legislation specifies that economic aid - around $10 billion - was provided to Ukraine as a conditional loan, not a grant. However, the document submitted by Biden grants him the authority to forgive 50% of this loan. The document also notes that the remaining 50% could be forgiven by the next US president after January 1, 2026. "We have taken the step that was outlined in the law to cancel those loans," Miller said. He noted that after the White House informs Congress about this decision, lawmakers may pass a resolution of disapproval. However, in his opinion, this will not happen.
