On May 17, President Joe Biden said that he
remains "confident" that the United States
will avoid defaulting on its debt.
ABC reports that his optimism
comes as debt ceiling negotiations
are getting down to the wire.
I'm confident that we'll get
the agreement on the budget
that America will not default, Joe Biden, United States President, via ABC.
We're going to come together
because there's no alternative, Joe Biden, United States President, via ABC.
Biden's comments came as he
embarked on a trip to Japan
for a meeting with G7 leaders.
According to ABC, the president canceled the second leg
of his trip, which would have included a visit to Papua New
Guinea and Australia, to tackle debt ceiling negotiations.
Biden has repeatedly said that
raising the debt ceiling is nonnegotiable.
.
Not about whether or not we are
going to, in fact, pay our debts.
All the leaders have agreed we will
not default.
Every leader has said that, Joe Biden, United States President, via ABC.
ABC reports that the U.S. is headed toward loan
default possibly as soon as June 1, unless
lawmakers raise or suspend the debt ceiling.
Given the impending June 1 deadline
and urgency of the moment, it is important
that all legislative options be pursued in
the event that no agreement is reached, Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader D-N.Y., via ABC

Trump Accepts Offer , to Debate Biden.
On May 15, President Biden revealed that he agreed to an offer from CNN to debate Donald Trump and then challenged his predecessor to do the same.
I’ve received and accepted an invitation
from @CNN for a debate on June 27th.
Over to you, Donald. As you said:
anywhere, any time, any place, President Joe Biden, via X.
Donald Trump lost two debates to
me in 2020. Since then he hasn’t shown
up for a debate. Now he’s acting like
he wants to debate me again, President Joe Biden, via video message.
Well, make my day, pal, I’ll even do it
twice. So let’s pick the dates, Donald –
I hear you’re free on Wednesdays, President Joe Biden, via video message.
Trump took to Truth Social to respond.
I am Ready and Willing to Debate
Crooked Joe at the two proposed
times in June and September, Donald Trump, via Truth Social.
Both candidates have expressed a preference to debate sooner than the fall dates initially proposed by the Commission on Presidential Debates.
Both candidates have expressed a preference to debate sooner than the fall dates initially proposed by the Commission on Presidential Debates.
According to Biden campaign chair
Jen O'Malley Dillion, those dates are
"out of step with changes in the structure of our elections and the interests of voters.".
Trump went on to say that he'd like
to debate Biden more than twice.
I would strongly recommend more
than two debates and, for excitement
purposes, a very large venue, although
Biden is supposedly afraid of crowds - , Donald Trump, via Truth Social.
That’s only because he doesn’t get
them. Just tell me when, I’ll be
there. 'Let’s get ready to Rumble!!!', Donald Trump, via Truth Social.

Ukrainian officials press Biden to lift the ban on using U.S. arms against Russia, citing hindrance in targeting Russian forces near Kharkiv. Russian incursion sees tens of thousands of troops moving in, outmatching stretched Ukrainian forces. Despite observing Russian buildup, Ukraine couldn't strike due to U.S. policy. Officials meet U.S. lawmakers to seek support.

‘New York Times’ Poll , Indicates Trouble for Biden.
Donald Trump was found to be "leading in
five out of six swing states," 'The Hill' reports. .
Wisconsin is the only swing
state where Biden is leading.
In 2020, Biden won all six swing states.
The May 13 poll also indicated that support for Biden is dwindling among young voters,
as well as Black and Hispanic voters.
What’s so impressive about this is
polls have historically underestimated
Trump’s support, not overestimated
Trump’s support, Ford O’Connell, a Republican strategist, via 'The Hill'.
And then if you couple this poll
with nearly 100,000 people
showing up in Arctic blue New
Jersey, this is a disaster for Biden, Ford O’Connell, a Republican strategist, via 'The Hill'.

Biden supporters, however, say that polling conducted this far away from election day should be taken with a grain of salt.
The only consistency in recent
public polls is inconsistency. , Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'.
These results need to be weighed against
the 30-plus polls that show Biden up and
gaining — which is exactly why drawing
broad conclusions about the race based
on results from one poll is a mistake. , Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'.
The reality is that many voters are not paying
close attention to the election and have not
started making up their minds — a dynamic
also reflected in today’s poll. , Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'.
These voters will decide this election,
and only the Biden campaign is doing
the work to win them over, Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'

Beloved 'Golden Bachelor' couple Gerry Turner and Teresa Nist are sadly calling it quits. Just three months after tying the knot in an ABC special in January, the couple, whose engagement was revealed in Nov, announced they are getting a divorce. They sat down with 'Good Morning America' to reveal their decision but offered little to an audience that will want to know what happened after witnessing their inspiring later-in-life love story unfold.

Ford Orders Recall , Over Potential SUV Gas Leak.
ABC reports that Ford has ordered
a recall for almost 43,000 small SUVs
due to a potential risk of fire. .
The recall impacts some Bronco
Sport SUVs from 2022 and 2023,
as well as 2022's Escape SUVs. .
According to Ford, gasoline can leak from
fuel injectors near or onto hot engine surfaces,
which increases the risk of starting fires.
The recall does not reportedly include repairing
any potential fuel leak, which the company
claims only impacts about 1% of their SUVs.
ABC reports that Michael Brooks, executive director
of the nonprofit Center for Auto Safety,
has called Ford's decision a "Band-aid type recall.".
Brooks claims that even a 1% failure
rate is high and places drivers
at potential risk for a crash.
The NHTSA said that it lacks legal
authority to pre-approve recall fixes. .
The agency added that it would, "closely track their performance using field data.".
However, Brooks suggests that Congress
needs to change laws so that the NHTSA can , "require something more than the rubber
stamp that NHTSA is currently deploying.”.
That is a post-remedy inquiry
that won't make the fixes better,
and further stretches out the process
and leaves consumers in limbo. , Michael Brooks, executive director of the
nonprofit Center for Auto Safety, via ABC

Phase One Investigative Maui Wildfire Report , to Be Released Next Month.
ABC reports that seven months after deadly
wildfires devastated Maui, an investigative
report will be released on April 17, 2024.
Hawaii Attorney General Anne Lopez commissioned the
Fire Safety Research Institute (FSRI) to conduct an
independent investigation alongside several local agencies.
The first phase of the investigation is meant
to analyze how the disaster unfolded during
the first 24 to 72 hours, as well as its aftermath. .
The report also includes
a comprehensive timeline of events. .
According to the AG's office, the FSRI research
team ran into unexpected delays while
gathering information critical to their review. .
In November of 2023, subpoenas were served to the
Maui Emergency Management Agency, the County
of Maui Department of Public Works and the
County of Maui Department of Water Supply.
Those subpoenas demanded materials relevant
to the investigation, including documents and photos, as well as video and audio recordings.
Being able to review all of the data,
which is extensive, has a tremendous
impact on the comprehensive analysis
of the fire incident and our
recommendations to make Hawaiʻi
a safer place to live, work and play, Steve Kerber, Ph.D., PE, vice president and executive director of FSRI, via ABC.
An analysis of this magnitude cannot be
rushed, and we must allow for the time
needed to make sure this investigation,
based on science, is done correctly, Anne Lopez, Hawaii Attorney General, via ABC.
I am confident that the Phase One
report will provide some answers
to the questions surrounding
the tragic wildfire incident, Anne Lopez, Hawaii Attorney General, via ABC

At least five people were killed and an estimated 1,000 homes destroyed when a magnitude 6.9 earthquake rocked flood-stricken northern Papua New Guinea, officials said Monday as disaster crews poured into the region. "So far, around 1,000 homes have been lost," said East Sepik Governor Allan Bird, adding that emergency crews were "still assessing the impact" from a tremor that "damaged most parts of the province".

Severe flooding, landslides, and relentless torrential rains have claimed the lives of at least 23 individuals in Papua New Guinea's Highlands region. The devastating impact of the natural calamity has left homes destroyed and roads completely washed away. Lusete Man, the Acting Director for the National Disaster Centre, sadly reported that among the casualties were a mother and child, highlighting the indiscriminate nature of the disaster's toll on communities. Additionally, coastal areas in the Gulf province, situated south of Chimbu, have also been submerged, compounding the widespread devastation caused by the inclement weather.
