President Joe Biden is still dealing with the political fallout of his weak performance at the 2024 presidential debate, while former President Donald Trump is celebrating a big win after the Supreme Courts ruling in his immunity case.

The two presumptive presidential nominees met face-to-face for the first time in the 2024 election cycle at a debate hosted by CNN last Thursday. Bidens unsteady performance there has dominated the headlines since, leading some Democrats to privately question if he should step aside as the Democratic nominee.

On Monday, the Supreme Court handed Trump a victory when it released its opinion on Trump v. U.S., which declares that Trump has complete legal immunity for actions during his presidency that were official in nature, although not for those that were unofficial.

The ruling makes it highly unlikely that Trumps trial on charges related to inciting the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, will take place before the November election. It also complicates his other ongoing legal proceedings, including his recent hush money conviction .

Follow along below for live updates on the presidential race:


Findings from a CNN poll conducted by SSRS after the debate show voters favor Trump over Biden by six points the same as it found over the past several months. It would be a much tighter race between Harris and Trump, the poll found, with 45% for the vice president vs. 47% for the presumptive GOP nominee. Thats due in part to Harris having stronger support from women.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, two people that have been floated as possible Biden replacements, perform similarly against Trump as Biden, the poll found.

An OpenLabs poll leaked to Puck spelled more bad news for Bidens campaign. The poll, conducted 72 hours after the debate, found that Harris, Buttigieg, Newsom and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer all outperformed Biden against Trump in every battleground state.

The OpenLabs poll also found that 40% of Biden voters surveyed think he should end his campaign. Thats up from around 25% who expressed that view in May.","source":"","title":"Post-Debate Polls Spell Bad News For Joe Biden","type":"image","summary":"","badge":"","cta":[],"meta":null,"credit":"Andrew Harnik/Getty Images","creditUrl":"","authorship":{"author":{"id":"557703b8e4b09499c4202dd9","userId":"557703b8e4b09499c4202dd8","fullName":"Lydia O'Connor","bio":{"text":"Lydia is a HuffPost senior reporter in her hometown of San Francisco and a graduate of the University of Southern California's Annenberg School of Journalism.

Post-Debate Polls Spell Bad News For Joe Biden

New polling shows other Democrats may have equal or better odds than Biden at beating Trump in November.

Findings from a CNN poll conducted by SSRS after the debate show voters favor Trump over Biden by six points the same as it found over the past several months. It would be a much tighter race between Harris and Trump, the poll found, with 45% for the vice president vs. 47% for the presumptive GOP nominee. Thats due in part to Harris having stronger support from women.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, two people that have been floated as possible Biden replacements, perform similarly against Trump as Biden, the poll found.

An OpenLabs poll leaked to Puck spelled more bad news for Bidens campaign. The poll, conducted 72 hours after the debate, found that Harris, Buttigieg, Newsom and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer all outperformed Biden against Trump in every battleground state.

The OpenLabs poll also found that 40% of Biden voters surveyed think he should end his campaign. Thats up from around 25% who expressed that view in May.
