JUST IN: @JoeBiden traveling to Philadelphia today to make remarks at approximately 2pm, his campaign says.
Campaign now advises that Biden’s Sunday afternoon remarks will be about the Supreme Court.
@JoeBiden Speaking in Philadelphia, @JoeBiden says: "If President Trump wants to put forward a name now, the Senate should not act until after the American people select their next president, their next Congress, their next Senate."
@JoeBiden Biden adds later that if he wins the White House, Pres. Trump's nominee should be withdrawn: "I should be the one who should nominate Justice Ginbsurg’s successor."
@JoeBiden "To jam this through the Senate is just an exercise in raw political power. And I don’t believe the American people will stand for it," @JoeBiden says in remarks at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.
@JoeBiden Biden makes clear his remarks are pointed more at the "few Senate Republicans" who could stand in the way of holding a vote this year on Ginsburg's successor. "Don't go there. Uphold your constitutional duty."
@JoeBiden Regarding a possible list of potential Supreme Court nominees, @JoeBiden suggests releasing one is a "game." "Putting a judge's name on a list like that could influence that person's decision making as a judge. And that would be wrong."
@JoeBiden Biden adds any potential nominee would face "unrelenting political attacks" and his nominee "would not be able to defend herself" against those attacks.
@JoeBiden Biden says he'd name a nominee "Only after consulting Democrats and Republicans in the United States Senate and seeking their advice and asking for their consent."
@JoeBiden Biden reiterates that he would be making history with his first nominee as he's vowed to pick a Black woman first for any vacancy. "It would be part of a process that restores our finest traditions."

Have you heard about “Bidenomics?” Not many have, and if they have, it’s not necessarily for reasons the White House would want: “Higher Inflation” “Tax Increases” lead infrastructure and job creation.

BIDEN APPROVAL: @POTUS slips to 40% overall, his worst from @CBSNewsPoll. On the economy, barely a third approve of his handling.

NEW FROM ⁦@CBSNewsPoll⁩: In a divided nation, Americans do agree on this: @POTUS Biden should talk about economy cbsnews.com/news/biden-eco…
What do Americans want to hear about? The economy and inflation. Lowering the latter is a high priority for so many. Immigration is especially important to Republicans who plan to watch, Democrats are more interested in hearing about addressing racism and climate change.
Democrats are far more likely to say they'll watch the #StateOfTheUnionAddress. Most who say they're very likely to watch already approve of his job performance.

NEW ARIZONA BATTLEGROUND TRACKER FROM @CBSNewsPoll: @SenMarkKelly leads @bgmasters in #AZSEN. Majority approval of Kelly’s job performance and he is the most personally liked of the four statewide candidates tested for Senate and Governor. cbsnews.com/news/mark-kell…
Kelly enjoys wide lead among voters who say abortion very important, but that advantage countered somewhat by voters who emphasize immigration. Immigration is 3rd “very important” issue. Among voters saying immigration very important, Masters leads big, helping keep race close.
In the wake of a judge reinstating a law that bans virtually all abortons in AZ, most voters would have abortion be legal in all or most cases; majorities would not criminalize it. 
 
Women, more so than men, say an illegal abortion should not result in a criminal penalty.
