This past week, President Biden ended the NATO three-day summit
with a solo press conference. Since the first presidential
debate, Americans have questioned his ability to fulfill another
term in the White House. Journalists brought up this issue again
to Biden during today’s press conference — did he smooth over
concerns?


The Republican National Committee’s party platform hones in most
on the “migrant invasion.” Trump’s slogan, “Make America Great
Again,” opens the 20-item agenda, which is an
attempt to distance the campaign from Project
2025. Noticeably less prevalent in the platform:
abortion. The panel looks at what’s currently in the platform and
whether the proposals will lead to policy.


In 2022, the state of Alabama voted to ban slavery — including
its use as punishment for a crime. This year, six incarcerated
people are suing Governor Kay Ivey and the Department of
Corrections for forced labor. The lawsuit is the first of its
kind to prohibit involuntary servitude and protect the prisoners
from retaliation. As part of Left, Right, and Center’s 50 states
series, the panel looks at the rights of people behind bars in
Alabama.
