BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

Donald Trump is gearing up for his first campaign rally on Saturday since surviving an assassination attempt, marking a stark contrast to President Joe Biden who remains isolated at home with COVID-19.

As Trump prepares to rally supporters in Michigan alongside his vice presidential running mate, JD Vance, Biden's team continues to defend the president despite growing pressure from within the Democratic Party for him to consider stepping aside.

Amon Biden's loyalists include Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow who has publicly supported the president, dismissing Trump and Vance's efforts as attempts to "rewrite history" and feign concern for working people.

Despite these endorsements, speculation about Biden's future is mounting, with some senior Democratic lawmakers and donors expressing concern that his candidacy could jeopardize not only the White House but also control of Congress.

Is VP Harris a potential successor?

As discussions about a potential Biden exit increase, Vice President Kamala Harris is seen as a leading potential successor.

In an interview with MSNBC, Senator Elizabeth Warren said that "Joe Biden is our nominee" and "he has a really big decision to make.

"But what gives me a lot of hope right now is that if President Biden decides to step back, we have Vice President Kamala Harris, who is ready to step up, to unite the party, to take on Donald Trump, and to win in November."

Powerful comeback

Trump, buoyed by recent favorable developments including court rulings and his ability to use the assassination attempt to energize his base, is expected to draw large crowds to his Michigan rally.

Supporters, including those who have already begun lining up outside the Van Andel Arena, view Trump's return as a testament to his resilience.

Trump himself has framed the event as a powerful comeback, stating, "I had God on my side," and portraying his survival as a sign of his strengthened position.

In the meantime, Biden's team insists that the president will resume campaigning as soon as it is feasible, though the situation remains fluid and closely watched by both parties.
