Former President Donald Trump formally accepted the nomination for president in a speech Thursday night at the Republican National Convention, as President Joe Biden faced increasing public calls to step aside as his partys nominee.
It was Trumps first public speech since his assassination attempt last weekend. He described the shooting in detail, saying youll never hear it from me a second time, because its too painful to tell, and thanking Secret Service agents for helping him in the immediate aftermath.
Meanwhile, more Democrats are, both publicly and privately, expressing concern about Bidens nomination. Biden, who is isolating in Delaware after testing positive for COVID-19, has had private conversations with several congressional leaders who have urged him to exit the presidential race, citing polls showing him trailing Trump.

new report from Semafor alleges donors for the Biden campaign are beginning to rethink their support.
Biden met with Hollywood executive and top Democratic donor Jeffrey Katezenberg in Las Vegas on Wednesday to discuss strategy, according to the report. Katezenberg allegedly told Biden that donors patience is getting thin and that the cash flow could stop.
Biden has faced renewed criticism following his poorly received debate against Trump. And after helping Biden rake in a record-breaking amount of money for his campaign, actor George Clooney has now called for the president to drop out of the race.
Biden backed out of a planned speech in Vegas later Wednesday because he tested positive for COVID-19.","source":"","title":"Megadonor Jeffrey Katzenberg Reportedly Warns Biden: Donor Cash Is Drying Up","type":"image","summary":"","badge":"","cta":[],"meta":null,"credit":"","creditUrl":"","authorship":{"author":{"id":"5570a69fe4b0a9eb44eb99ce","userId":"5570a69fe4b0a9eb44eb99cf","fullName":"Sebastian Murdock","bio":{"text":"Senior Reporter, HuffPost","microText":"Senior Reporter, HuffPost"},"urls":{"twitter":"sebastianmurdoc"},"urlName":{"text":"sebastian-murdock","transliterated":"sebastian-murdock"},"profileUrl":{"name":"5c112f412400006b0499f7ff","ops":"","ext":"jpg"},"carmotMetadata":{"editionCode":"us","uuid":"d7cbf6ba-1924-3f33-a395-a13dbdbc2350","alias":"hp-us-sebastian-murdock","linkedAuthorUuidMap":{"au":"9ebd18b5-5389-350e-bd1e-05da9824d729","br":"e207944c-6c7a-3cd1-b1f1-8bfe062e81ef","ca":"bd5146ef-7dfb-3dca-a2b8-65758663888e","es":"fb4e3ebc-0c1e-3baa-ace6-53763666c257","in":"bfc1610f-3eb6-3846-ae04-f6c20741cc47","it":"6a96f4e7-0d7c-38b5-9eba-13918661ac42","jp":"29968985-b308-3f6f-9308-3b92a46762c5","kr":"797fc6fe-8110-34c8-bf00-b0833083be10","qc":"02c9a1f5-11c6-3a82-a627-bd8d23681a5c","uk":"c12dfd86-ebd6-3fdb-a7d8-3aa3642f0129"}}},"firstPublishedAt":"2024-07-17T22:53:54.056Z","lastPublishedAt":"2024-07-18T02:32:39.807Z","formattedFirstPublishedAt":"Jul 17, 2024, 6:53 PM EDT"},"social":{"image":{"name":"66984b73240000ad0054793e","ops":"","ext":"jpg"}},"orientation":"horizontal","thumbnail":{"url":{"fileName":"default-entry.jpg","type":"hectorUrl"},"credit":"","ops":""},"textWrap":"wrapped","imagePositionInUnit":null,"imagePositionInSubUnit":null,"authors":[{"authorData":{"id":"5570a69fe4b0a9eb44eb99ce","fullName":"Sebastian Murdock","slug":"sebastian-murdock","headshot":{"type":"hector","url":"https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/5c112f412400006b0499f7ff.jpg","queryParams":{},"width":400,"height":400,"credit":"","ops":""},"socialAccounts":{},"title":"","links":{"permalink":"https://action.news/author/sebastian-murdock"}}}],"isLiveblogSlide":true},"provider":null}],"settings":{"type":"liveblog","eventName":"2024 Election Live Updates","eventType":"event","coverageStartTime":"2024-07-17T12:30:00Z","coverageEndTime":"2024-07-23T12:30:00Z","physicalLocation":{"name":"Republican National Convention","address":{"streetAddress":"1111 N Vel R.

Megadonor Jeffrey Katzenberg Reportedly Warns Biden: Donor Cash Is Drying Up
A new report from Semafor alleges donors for the Biden campaign are beginning to rethink their support.
Biden met with Hollywood executive and top Democratic donor Jeffrey Katezenberg in Las Vegas on Wednesday to discuss strategy, according to the report. Katezenberg allegedly told Biden that donors patience is getting thin and that the cash flow could stop.
Biden has faced renewed criticism following his poorly received debate against Trump. And after helping Biden rake in a record-breaking amount of money for his campaign, actor George Clooney has now called for the president to drop out of the race.
