Biden Goes to Minnesota Amid Phillips's Primary Challenge; Rep. Buck Won't Seek Reelection Citing GOP Identity Crisis; VP Harris Announces Measures Against AI Risks; Trump's Classified Documents Trial May be Delayed

Biden announces $1.7 Billion commitment for climate-smart farming amid Minnesota visit, Rep. Ken Buck leaves post citing GOP's 'election denialism', VP Harris declares AI poses 'existential' harm, and Trump's classified documents mishandling trial possible delay due to logistical complexities.

President Joe Biden visited Minnesota to promote his economic agenda and announced a $1.7 billion commitment to help American farmers adopt climate-smart agricultural practices. His visit coincided with a primary challenge from Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips.
Representative Ken Buck announced he will not seek re-election, describing the Republican Party as facing an 'identity crisis'. Buck criticized his party's 'election denialism' related to the 2020 election and the reluctance to condemn the Capitol attack on January 6, 2021.
Vice President Kamala Harris outlined measures to manage the risks of Artificial Intelligence (AI), classifying it as causing 'existential' harm. She declared new draft policies, overseen by newly appointed chief AI officers, and an additional $200 million in philanthropic funding to support administration's objectives.
Former President Donald Trump's trial over mishandling classified documents is likely to be delayed due to logistical complexities. Trump's lawyers argued that they needed more time to prepare for the trial, which was initially scheduled for May 2024.
Despite the primary challenge from Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips, the Biden administration maintained that their focus remains on the economic agenda and mobilizing a wining coalition for the 2024 reelection. Phillips has positioned his campaign around the need for younger Democratic leadership.
