Jon Stewart, after skewering both Biden and Trump, responds to the debate: “this cannot be real life! It just can’t! FUCK! We’re America. God.”

DeSantis, asked how to pronounce his name by Paul Steinhauser, says "it’s ridiculous. These stupid things. Listen, the way to pronounce my last name – winner." My report w/ Sophia Cai this am

Trump says “motherfucker” at a GOP event

👀👀 Pod Save America’s Tommy Vietor: “So I’ve been reading Jake Tapper’s book about the Biden administration and the steps taken to kind of hide his decline. I can’t get into the details, it’s still embargoed, but it is enraging.” Buy. The. Book. (Plz?)

After the Hur report was released but before we had the transcripts, Biden slammed Hur for asking about when Beau died. But the audio shows that was not true.

Some personal news: I’m joining the amazing team at CNN as a contributor. Thx to Manu Raju for the shout out this AM. (Will still be writing and reporting w/ Axios, you’re just gonna find it harder to avoid me now).

Bill Maher talks about “Original Sin” and presses Tapper: you say Joe Biden was old, what’s your proof!?

Biden aides told Jake Tapper 🦅 and me that they had seen him act that way before and after. Those moments became more difficult to predict and conceal. And Jill joined Biden for several campaign events after the debate including a rally the next day.

Jill Biden responds to Kamala Harris saying Biden running for re-election was “recklessness.” She tells Craig Melvin: “That is her point of view and if she felt that way she should have said it”

Dems are worried about Platner stories because it's another crack in a well-crafted brand of a working-class oyster farmer but: he went to Hotchkiss his income is from disability &amp; he makes little from oysters said the VA helped him w/ his house, but was a 200k loan from his Dad

A lot of Democrats including several former Biden aides I talked to just simply don't believe Jill Biden. Given how she behaved post-debate, several Biden aides said that if she really believed he was having a stroke, that's not how she would act. Talking w/ Brianna Keilar

.Craig Melvin presses Jill Biden on her claim that debate night was a one-off. He notes that Robert Hur and George Clooney said they saw debate Biden. Jill: “we all saw him aging, there were the words he would forget, but we were all aging.”

.Craig Melvin asks Jill Biden if she regrets not pushing Joe not to run again. She’s says: “I couldn’t say ‘Joe do this’ or ‘Joe do that.’ It was his decision to run in the first place, only his.”

Exclusive: Axios obtained the audio of Robert Hur's 2023 interviews of Biden which show repeated mental lapses as he struggles to remember words &amp; dates amid long, uncomfortable pauses. Biden WH didn't release it last year. Listen below. w/ Marc Caputo

Jill Biden on Kamala, Doug, and Joe: “I thought we were a great team. We chose Kamala or Joe chose Kamala to be VP”

Colbert asks: "Under a Harris administration, what would the major changes be and what would stay the same?" Harris: "Sure. Well, I mean, I'm obviously not Joe Biden. So that would be one change. But also I think it's important to say with 28 days to go, I'm not Donald Trump."

Notable answer not included in the 60 minutes broadcast last night (was in Overtime) Asked which foreign country she considers to be the US’s “greatest adversary,” Harris says: “I think there’s an obvious one in mind which is Iran. Iran has American blood on their hands.”

Scoop w/ Holly Otterbein Josh Shapiro secretly helped the Republican state treasurer's 2024 bid after their Dem opponent criticized Shapiro as a potential VP pick, close Shapiro ally Bob Brooks said. Brooks said he misspoke. We have the audio:

Harris on Mamdani: "As far as I'm concerned, he's the Democratic nominee and he should be supported." Maddow: Do you endorse his candidacy? Harris: "I support the Democrat in the race. Sure. But let me just say this. He's not the only star [in the party]"

There’s a 4 minute Affleck cut of the Dunkin commercial It’s glorious. Oscar-bait.

Top Biden adviser Mike Donilon on the post-debate fallout last year: “lots of people have terrible debates…usually, the party doesn’t lose its mind and that’s what happened here. It melted down.” Adds that he thought pushing Biden out was “insane”

On Biden’s stage 4 cancer diagnosis, Jill Biden tells CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 it was “shocking.” “I do feel we had amazing care in the White House but somehow that was missed.”

.Michael Strahan asks Walz why Harris hasn’t implemented her proposed policies the past 3 years.

Harris dodges if she voted for CA’s prop 36–a measure to up crime/drug penalties. "I am not gonna talk about the vote on that because, honestly, it's the Sunday before the election and I don’t intend to create an endorsement one way or the other”

Mark Kelly, who notes that Charlie Kirk was a constituent of his, says that it was a "political assassination" and says that "political rhetoric too from both sides often gets out of hand." Urges ppl "take a step back and think about our words and the consequences of them."

NEW: Axios w/ a first look at RNC’s video response to Biden It is also the committee’s first video that is 100% generated by AI software meant to create images that look and feel real (in this case an imagined dystopia look at the future of Biden wins)

Trump is now cutting web videos w/ Matt Damon’s Air monologue as narration…
