We are finally about to hear from President Biden. The lead starts right now.

President Biden hours away from something of a swan song ready to share the information as to why

he dropped his re-election bid as the newly minted Kamala Harris campaign

takes hold and outlines what it sees as a quote expanded universe in a path to victory.

Plus, major moments on Capitol Hill inside an address to Congress from the Israeli

Prime Minister, dozens of Democrats boycotting the speech and protests erupting outside,

the parents of a hostage still being held by Hamas, who were inside the chamber for the speech,

will join us ahead. Plus shocking new details

from the FBI director about the would-be assassin who targeted Donald Trump, the

drone that the shooter flew over the rally area just hours before pulling the trigger.

Plus troubling JFK assassination details, he tried to Google. Welcome to the lead, I'm Jake Tapper. This is a huge day of news here in Washington,

D.C. Today Vice President Harris is in the Midwest addressing a

key group of voters as her campaign here in DC explains why she has more

Washington DC will deliver a speech from the Oval Office about his decision to drop out of

the presidential race under immense pressure scrutiny and questions about his wherewithal.

Former President Donald Trump for his part is about to hold his first rally since Biden dropped out Sunday.

And Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is also in DC,

highlighting the Israel-Hamas War,

which has played a notable role

in the presidential campaign here in the United States

so far.
