President Biden should do a Town Hall with CNN or MSNBC, where they pick the audience and moderate but all the questions come from the audience. Let the public ask for themselves. Forget the pundits, and the donors—let the public speak.

I hope you enjoy your 4th of July, celebrating our democracy - while we still have it. We are the longest living democracy on the planet, and the world is watching to see if we are going to let that slip away.

Looking forward to the debate. Expecting a surprisingly energetic Biden, hopped up on cocaine like Trump has suggested. A break is scheduled so Biden will be able to “use the bathroom.” I suggest he check himself in the mirror before he goes out for the second half. https://t.co/03AkzzzeoH
Tonight will be the first of two rematches for Biden and Trump. I know I’ll be watching. Here are a few ideas I jotted down if I were advising President Biden's debate team: 🧵

Got to celebrate the "culmination" of elementary school with my oldest grandson, Joe. He will be moving on to middle school in the fall where we know he will continue to make us proud.
My great friend, Howard Fineman, died last night after a two-year battle with pancreatic cancer. You might know Howard for his brilliant writing about politics in Newsweek cover stories and for his insightful commentary on TV. I knew Howard as a loyal friend with a ready laugh and a deep understanding of our nation’s history. And as a husband and father who was proud of his kids, Meredith and Nick, and loved his wife Amy. May his memory be a blessing for all of us who knew and loved him.
