Marjorie Taylor Greene rallies support for Trump ally Steve Bannon outside his cushy prison as he is set to begin four-month sentence today: Follow along for U.S. politics live updates

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is outside the Danbury federal prison where Steve Bannon is set to report for his four-month prison sentence this morning.

Bannon was sentenced in October 2022 after he was found guilty of contempt of Congress for defying a congressional subpoena.

‘This is a DISGRACE to our country, and an affront to the principles of justice it was founded upon,” Greene wrote on X about Bannon’s sentence. ‘Republican voters need to fight harder than ever: this election is not over.’

House Republicans have promised to file a legal brief to help Bannon avoid jail time.

Some Democratic donors are waiting for the post-debate polling before deciding whether to press for President Biden’s removal as the party nominee.

In private, donors were texting each other and calling each other frantically over Biden’s stumbling debate performance, according to Axios.

So far, they have not been publicly calling for Biden to step aside.

The Biden campaign revealed over the weekend it raised $33 million since Thursday’s debate including $26 million in grassroots donations.

Party leaders are publicly backing the president, but should he step aside multiple names have surfaced as possible replacements. They include:

• Vice President Kamala Harris
• California Governor Gavin Newsom
• Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer
• Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro
• Illinois Governor JB Pritzker
• Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock
• North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper

When former Trump White House advisor Steve Bannon reports to prison on Monday after a legal battle, he will step inside a low security federal lockup with a satellite camp and a bakery.

Although Bannon fought mightily to stay out of prison – bringing an appeal to the Supreme Court – the facility where he will begin his four-month sentence is considered desirable for inmates facing federal lockup.

Sometimes termed ‘Club Fed,’ the prison was partly the inspiration for the Litchfield Prison depicted in the Netflix series ‘Orange is the New Black.’

Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance has seen him switch positions with Donald Trump when it comes to basic questions of competence, according to an exclusive poll for DailyMail.com.

It found that more independent voters would prefer convicted felon Trump to babysit their children than the 81-year-old president, who cultivates an image of the twinkle-eyed grandfather.

Need to put up a shelf, plan a road trip or just hang out with someone?

The J.L. Partners poll of 805 independent voters who watched the debate found that Trump was the choice in each case.

It marks a stunning setback for Biden, whose aides hoped would be able to use the debate to remind viewers of the chaos and anxiety of Trump’s years in power.

More and more Americans are growing concerned that President Joe Biden no longer has the cognitive faculties to serve as president after his car crash performance against former President Donald Trump .

The number of registered voters who believe Biden, 81, isn’t fit for the title of commander-in-chief grew by seven percent from earlier this month.

Before the debate in a June 9 poll, 65 percent said Biden doesn’t have the mental fitness to serve another four years – but after the debate, that grew to 72 percent, according to the CBS News/YouGov survey .

And nearly half (46 percent) of Biden’s own party don’t think he should run for president in 2024.

Jill Biden graced the cover of Vogue as she’s accused of ‘elder abuse’ by allowing Joe to continue his 2024 reelection campaign despite his disastrous debate.

The first lady covers the August issue of the fashion magazine in a $7,000 outfit, including a white power suit. The photo portrays an image of authority at a time Democrats say she is the only one who can talk Joe Biden off the presidential ticket and reigniting charges from conservatives that the first lady is a real power in the White House.

The glowing piece – which includes a short interview with Biden – was done before the president’s disastrous June 27th debate performance. It focuses on her work as first lady – including her fight for women’s health – and notes her commitment to another term in the White House.

Vogue affixed an editors’ note atop the online story to acknowledge current events. It notes the first lady called in from Camp David over the weekend – where the Biden family was gathered – to double down on her support for the president, brushing off Joe Biden’s fumbles in Thursday night’s debate.

The Supreme Court’s biggest blockbuster decision is set to come down at 10 a.m. ET today.

It comes during the last day of the court’s session before the justices depart on summer recess.

The ex-president’s team argued that Trump, and any president, must have absolute immunity from prosecution over actions taken while in office or it could impair important decision-making.

The decision will impact whether Trump will go back to trial over his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election before November.

Focus much of this weekend post-debate has been on the Biden family, who gathered at Camp David to discuss their patriarch’s political future.

The family has offered its unequivocal support to the president and even wondered how they can get further involved, with troubled son Hunter insisting his father fight back into the race.

Democratic Party leaders desperately pleaded with rank and file committee members to not abandon President Joe Biden despite his train wreck debate performance.

During a secret call after the CNN debate in Atlanta on Thursday, DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison and Biden’s campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez tried to quell concerns over the President’s viability as their 2024 candidate.

But those on the call claim leaders are gaslighting them and asking them to ignore obvious signs of mental decline. They believe that Biden, 81, might not be the best one for the job anymore.

With just a month-and-a-half until the Democratic Convention, many Party members, strategists and donors are wondering if they should seek a replacement.

Joe Salazar, an elected DNC member from Colorado who was on the call, said:

I was hoping for more of a substantive conversation instead of, ‘Hey, let’s go out there and just be cheerleaders,’ without actually addressing a very serious issue that unfolded on American television for millions of people to see.

There were a number of things that could have been said in addressing the situation. But we didn’t get that. We were being gaslit.

Joe Biden is ‘humiliated’ and ‘painfully aware’ of his image following his calamitous debate performance, as he is set to discuss the future of his re-election campaign.

The president has retreated to Camp David with is wife, children and grandchildren to take a break from the campaign trial and weigh his options, NBC News first reported.

Insiders described Biden’s mood as ‘humiliated and devoid of confidence’ following his face off with Donald Trump that saw him stumbling over his words and losing his train of thought multiple times.
