The November elections are less than 10 weeks away, and President Joe Biden plans to use a prime-time speech Thursday night at Independence Hall in Philadelphia to frame them as part of an ongoing battle for what he's calling the “soul of the nation.”

President Joe Biden on Tuesday forcefully defended the FBI as the agency and its employees have come under withering criticism and threats of violence since executing a search warrant at former President Donald Trump’s Florida residence earlier this month.

President Joe Biden on Wednesday is set to announce his long-delayed move to forgive up to $10,000 in federal student loans for many Americans and extend a pause on payments to January, according to three people familiar with the plan.
