Hi, good morning. It's Thursday, July 11, 2024.

Welcome to a brand new episode of First Thing with Kevin Manno.

Just a real quick look at all the top headlines across the board.

As you start today, and the show starts right now.

And it always starts with the top story. This one just seems to be getting the most

attention right now. The latest person to call on President Biden to step down is

George Clooney. He wrote an op-ed which was published in the New York Times

yesterday. He said that quote we're not going to win in November with this

president on top of that we won't win the house and we're going to win in November with this president. On top of that, we won't win the House,

and we're going to lose the Senate.

Until now, Clooney has been a supporter of Biden,

as well as a donor and a top fundraiser.

I guess he's lost his faith.

Clooney said that every senator who's talked to feels the same way,

although none have publicly called for President Biden to step down.

And again, President Biden has a press conference

that's going to air later today.

Some headlines I've seen say that his presidency could hinge on that press conference

that he has planned for this afternoon.

Pressed up.

All right, okay, moving on to sports.

First, I just want to mention again that the Espes are on tonight.
