US President Biden (81) gave a speech at the annual dinner hosted by the White House Correspondents' Association on the 27th, and excited the audience with a sarcastic joke about former President Trump (77), who is expected to face him again in the November presidential election.
U.S. presidential election upcoming schedule
At dinner parties, it is standard for the president to give a speech that includes jokes. Mr. Biden, whose age is a concern in the presidential election, self-deprecatingly brought up the subject of his age, saying, ``Yes, age is an issue. I'm a grown man, and I'm competing with a 6-year-old.'' I was treated like a child.
He emphasized that with Mr. Trump, ``age is the only thing we have in common.'' Considering that Mike Pence, who was vice president in the Trump administration, has expressed his disapproval, he emphasized the difference, saying, ``My vice president supports it.''

On the 28th, former Republican President Donald Trump (77), who is aiming for a comeback in the US presidential election in November, met in the southern state of Florida with Governor Ron DeSantis (45), who was vying for the party's nomination. This was reported by the American newspaper The Washington Post. This is the first meeting between the two men since DeSantis withdrew from the campaign in January. They agreed to cooperate in fundraising and other efforts in preparation for a showdown with Democratic President Joe Biden (81).
Mr. Trump is lagging behind Mr. Biden in fundraising, and is burdened by legal fees to survive four criminal trials. During the election campaign, he harshly criticized DeSantis, a leading opponent, as a "hypocrite," but he is asking for his help in raising funds. Meanwhile, Mr. DeSantis is also believed to have been trying to mend his relationship with Mr. Trump, who has overwhelming influence within the party, with an eye on re-challenging the presidential election in 2028.

(Bloomberg) -- Former U.S. President Donald Trump is in full swing choosing his running mate for the November presidential election, and plans to have him compete for the spot at an event with wealthy donors this weekend.
When Trump appeared on the reality show "The Apprentice," he pitted contestants against each other to impress him. The event, held at the Four Seasons in Palm Beach, will likely have a similar feel.
Vice presidential candidates include Sen. J.D. Vance (Ohio), North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Sen. Marco Rubio (Florida), and Sen. Tim Scott (South Carolina). It is listed. This was revealed by multiple people with knowledge of the situation.

The US news site Axios reported on the 11th that former Republican President Donald Trump's (77) campaign is considering appointing former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley (52) as his running mate in the November presidential election. It was reported. Mr. Trump immediately denied the matter on his social media, saying that it was "not under consideration," but given their shared political interests, future developments will be closely watched.
In the race for the party's nomination, Haley gained support from party moderates who were anti-Trump, and won the primaries in Washington, D.C., and the eastern state of Vermont. Even after he withdrew from the campaign in March, he has continued to receive around 20% of the "anti-Trump vote" in primary elections in various states. He has not expressed support for Trump, and has taken the position that whether he supports him or not is "up to Trump."
Mr. Trump has the advantage of appointing Ms. Haley, a woman of Indian descent, in order to expand his support among party moderates, women, the highly educated, and racial minorities, which is an issue for Mr. Trump. The financial power of Haley's major donors is also attractive.
