All eyes on Biden EL PAÍS USA EDITION

Dear readers,  ‌ All eyes are on Joe Biden after his disastrous performance at last Thursday's presidential debate against Donald Trump. Pressure is mounting on the U.S. president to step aside, and the next few days will be crucial in determining the future of his campaign. Vice President Kamala Harris is currently the front-runner to replace Biden if he decides to pull out of the race.  ‌ In other U.S. news, the Supreme Court ruled that the official acts of presidents are immune from criminal prosecution, in what marks another legal victory for Trump. The liberal justices who voted against the decision warned the ruling would allow presidents to assassinate political rivals, accept bribes and order coups with impunity.  ‌ EL PAÍS also traveled to Estonia to see how the country is preparing for a possible Russian attack, spoke to economist Joseph Stiglitz about the dangers of a second Trump mandate, and looked back at the romcom classic Four Weddings and a Funeral, which was a box office hit despite the cast's reservations.  ‌ We hope you enjoy this selection of stories from EL PAÍS USA Edition.
