    President Trump just made a stop at McLean Bible Church in Virginia after visiting his golf course. White House says he’s meeting with the pastor and praying for victims of the Virginia Beach shooting. POTUS did not make remarks while on stage.

    I asked Rudy Giuliani about his call for "trial by combat" during last week's rally that preceded the Capitol riots. He first explained the concept by referencing Game of Thrones, then rejected the idea that he was referencing physical violence or that it incited the crowd.

    Trump's church visit also coincided with Christian leaders calling for a "Special Day of Prayer" today dedicated to the president. thehill.com/homenews/admin… The pastor mentioned it with Trump on stage, but said prayer for the president should not be limited to one day.

    Biden campaign chair @jomalleydillon appears to shut down the idea of additional debates after Trump said he would attend one hosted by Fox in October: "President Biden made his terms clear for two one-on-one debates, and Donald Trump accepted those terms. No more games."
