President Biden is confronting doubts from within the Democratic Party about whether he should continue to run for reelection following his faltering performance in the first presidential debate. Nearly two dozen congressional Democrats have publicly called for him to exit the race, including Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), a close ally of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and one of the highest-ranking members so far to say Biden should step aside. The Washington Post is tracking which congressional Democrats call on Biden to drop out as the party weighs whether he belongs at the top of the ticket.

Emmy season is upon us once again. If it feels too soon for another night of celebrating the small screen, that’s because the 2023 Emmys were postponed due to the actors and writers strikes and didn’t take place until January. “The Morning Show” is a sleeper hit among the categories.

Donald Trump is trying to present a more worker-friendly vision of the Republican Party at this week’s convention, but he has continued to make clear in private that he views himself as the best choice for billionaires and big business, according to donors who have attended fundraising events. Even as Trump leans into populist themes that make some Republicans wary, he has told corporate leaders and major donors that he is the only bulwark against Democratic plans to raise taxes. The convention has also showcased voices friendly to the nation’s business elite. The two conflicting versions of the GOP’s future leave unsettled exactly how the former president would try to balance his party’s factions if he wins in November.

About 70 people gathered Saturday morning at a community center in the Hillside neighborhood of Colorado Springs. They greeted one another, sipped tea and found a seat in the airy, white room — then everyone lay down and closed their eyes. It was a giant community nap. Some drifted into a light doze. Others simply meditated. The luckiest settled into a deep slumber. But it seemed like everyone left the community nap feeling rested and rejuvenated, Amy Miller told The Washington Post.

Delta Air Lines apologized Thursday for a now-deleted post on its X account that appeared to sympathize with a social media user who complained about flight attendants wearing Palestinian flag pins on their uniforms. An X user posted two pictures Tuesday of Delta flight attendants donning the pins and called the accessories “Hamas badges.” The next day, Delta replied to the post. “I hear you as I’d be terrified as well, personally,” the airline wrote, according to screenshots on social media of the deleted response. “Our employees reflect our culture and we do not take it lightly when our policy is not being followed.” A Delta spokesperson said in a statement to The Washington Post on Thursday that the airline’s social media post “was not in line with our values and our mission.”
