Bob Woodward speaks to NPR about the revelations in his new book, and recounts how key moments and meetings in recent years played out behind closed doors.
President Biden says Congress needs to shore up a small business disaster loans fund, and fast. Meanwhile, the response to Hurricane Helene has become a presidential election issue.
Vice President Kamala Harris has handed out meals, embraced a shaken family and surveyed Hurricane Helene's "extraordinary" path of destruction through Georgia. She left the campaign trail Wednesday to pledge ongoing federal help and personally take in scenes of toppled trees, damaged homes and lives upended.
President Biden and Vice President Harris traveled to Georgia and North Carolina to reassure people that help is on the way. Making good on that promise is a critical test in this election year.
President Biden talked about the sweeping changes he has seen during his long career, urged an end to wars in Ukraine, Gaza and Sudan, and said "some things are more important than staying in power."
