Biden, 81, to address the nation on his decision to end 2024 bid as polls show Kamala Harris and Trump locked in a tight battle

The Secret Service has asked Donald Trump to hold his future rallies indoors after the assassination attempt.

The embattled agency still dealing with the fallout of the shooting shared their ‘concerns’ with the campaign about holding events in outdoor spaces, The Washington Post reported.

Trump and his team are said to have agreed and are now looking for larger indoor arenas that provide more cover in the build-up to the general election.

He is back on the campaign trail Wednesday afternoon with an appearance at the Bojangles Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The news sparked a frustrated response from Republicans.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said it would be ‘shame’ if the former president was restricted to indoor spaces.

On Tuesday, the Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle finally resigned over the massive security failures that led to Trump dodging a bullet.

The Vice President has taken the nationwide lead over her Republican rival after securing enough delegates to be named the Democratic candidate at the party’s convention in Chicago next month.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Harris leading Trump by 2 percent in a head-to-head general election matchup as she hits the campaign in place of the ailing 81-year-old Biden.

It follows a slew of other polls taken in the aftermath of Biden putting a stop to his campaign.

Trump was leading Harris by tight margins in polls taken when speculation swirled that Biden wouldn’t be on the ticket.

‘Speaker Pelosi will not be attending today’s Joint Meeting of Congress. This morning, she will join a Members meeting with Israeli citizens whose families have suffered in the wake of the October 7th Hamas terror attack and kidnappings,’ a Pelosi spokesperson told DailyMail.com.

At least 40 House representatives and nine senators have said they will skip out on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress today, including one Republican – Rep. Thomas Massie.

Tens of thousands of pro-Gaza protesters are expected to descend on DC for the address today.

For Democrats who had been fearing a wipeout this fall with Trump coasting to victory as President Biden struggled, the shake-up on the ticket and party quickly rallying behind Vice President Kamala Harris is a welcomed change.

Democrats at Harris’ first campaign event as presumptive presidential nominee in Wisconsin on Tuesday breathed a sigh of relief and said they’re confident the vice president has what it takes to beat Donald Trump in November.

Several voters told DailyMail.com that despite their deep respect for Biden, they were finally feeling enthusiastic and hopeful this campaign season with Harris at the top of the ticket.

‘Honestly this is so exciting. I’m honored to be here,’ gushed Maria Olig from Milwaukee who showed up for Harris’ rally. ‘We need change. Kamala’s going to bring it.’

She said she came to the event after finally being able to ‘wake up in the morning and be optimistic.’

New York Attorney General Letitia James says getting Kamala Harris elected president is her ‘singular focus’, despite plenty of cases on her hands.

Trump, who was also banned from doing business in New York for three years, is appealing the verdict as the fine accrues interest, and James will try to seize his assets if he fails to pay up.

Vice President Harris is the presumptive Democratic nominee after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race against Trump on Sunday.

James quickly endorsed Harris and continued her support when appearing on MSNBC on Tuesday night.

Democratic presidential nominee-in-waiting Kamala Harris is being celebrated in her ancestral home in south east India with prayers.

Harris’ grandfather hails from the village of Painganadu-Thulasendrapuram in the province of Tamil Nadu. On Monday, residents of the area held a special prayer service at the Dharma Sastha Temple.

Those services will continue until November 5, election day. ‘We are very happy that the granddaughter of P V Gopalan, Kamala Harris, is likely to be the US Presidential nominee,’ a local resident told The Deccan Herald.

‘We organized special poojas to pray that she is able to get the nomination and eventually triumph against Donald Trump,’ they added. A pooja is a Hindu worship ritual.

None of her relatives remain in the area, the priest of the temple told The Hindu, confirming that the last of her family left ‘several decades ago.’

Members of Congress are expected to demand answers from FBI Director Chris Wray about former President Donald Trump’s assassination attempt.

It comes days after the former Director of Secret Service Kimberly Cheatle was forced to resign after evading answering rounds of questioning by punting to the FBI in another congressional hearing earlier this week.

Now it’s Wray’s turn in the hot seat, and it’s unlikely to go smoothly.

The Judiciary Committee hearing is expected to focus on both the shooting at the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally and the ‘ongoing politicization’ of the FBI.

The 81-year-old has not showed his face since his bombshell announcement he was dropping out of the race on Sunday and sparked wild conspiracy theories with his absence.

The last time he made an appearance was last Wednesday – when he slowly exited Air Force One in Dover to go into isolation after being diagnosed with COVID. Only his voice was heard on a call into his old campaign office on Monday.

On Tuesday he emerged from his SUV with a mask, turned to the press and said he is ‘well’ and then slowly headed to the stairs of Air Force One to make the trip back to Washington D.C. for the first time since ending his 2024 bid.

‘Watch and listen. Why don’t you wait and hear what I say,’ he said when asked what his message during his Wednesday night speech will be.

But when asked why he dropped out of the presidential race, Biden just laughed and walked away. He slipped on his aviator sunglasses and got into the Beast.

Air Force One was flying so fast that I was shaking in my seat.

Now we were joining him on a mad rush back from Las Vegas to the Bidens’ Rehoboth Beach getaway in Delaware.

Moments after fastening my seatbelt, the massive engines of the presidential Boeing 747 roared to life.

The flight attendants, in their custom blue uniforms, stumbled in the aisles as the jet’s nose pointed skyward.

Tray tables shook. Reporters held up their water glasses so they wouldn’t spill.

Most concerning, though, was that we had no idea what was going on.

For security reasons, there is no Wi-Fi on Air Force One, so we were cut off from the outside world.
