Welcome to DailyMail.com's live blog where it's another day of the Biden campaign scrambling to stay alive.

Exclusive:Oversight Chair James Comer demands Biden turn over data on how many taxpayer-funded employees are still teleworking
The House Oversight Committee wants to know how many tax-payer funded federal government employees are still working from home years after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many federal offices remain empty more than four years after the onset of the coronavirus crisis and there is nearly no structure for work schedules and no plans for the entire workforce to come back to the office.
Oversight Chairman James Comer told DailyMail.com:
Comer says the Biden administration is refusing to hand over figures on what percentages of the federal workforce are teleworking and who is coming to the office.
Nixon wouldn't have resigned if SCOTUS presidential immunity was in play during Watergate, claims ex-White House Counsel
By Katelyn Caralle, Senior U.S. Political Reporter
President Richard Nixon wouldn't have resigned if Monday's Supreme Court ruling were in place when Watergate happened, claims former White House Counsel John Dean.
The Supreme Court ruled along the 6-3, liberal-conservative lines that presidents have ‘absolute’ immunity for clearly official acts – although they did say there is no immunity for unofficial acts.
The case was brought up to the highest court by former President Donald Trump amid multiple cases against him, including his actions on January 6, 2021 when he was still president.
Dean told CNN that 'Nixon would have survived' Watergate had it happened now.
Biden's campaign says it raised $38 million in four days after debate
By Katelyn Caralle, Senior U.S. Political Reporter
President Joe Biden's reelection campaign claims it brought in $38 million in the four days following his car crash debate performance against Donald Trump.
In reporting its second quarter fundraising figures, the Biden-Harris campaign reports that it raised $264 million between April and June.
The haul, it says, includes the largest-yet fundraising month of the campaign with $127 million raised in June.
Biden campaign manager Juylie Chavez Rodriguez said:
Biden campaign reportedly tells donors funds would go to Kamala Harris if he drops out
According to reports, the Biden campaign has told donors that their stacks of cash would go to Kamala Harris if the president ends up dropping out of the race.
That would give a major boost to Kamala - who didn't clearly rise to the top of the pack to replace the president, despite being second in line.
She has struggled with low approval ratings for months and voters are not enthusiastic about her at the top of the ticket.
Exclusive: Key Democrat donors threaten to pull plug if Biden doesn't resign, as furious party insiders reveal 'worst fears' about ailing president have now been confirmed
Growing Democratic uproar over President Joe Biden's shockingly feeble debate performance on Thursday night appears to be turning into a full-blown party revolt.
'For Biden's own good and the good of the country, he should step aside immediately,' major Democratic donor and former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson told DailyMail.com. 'The fact that it has now been three days and Biden has done nothing to reassure us confirms my worst fears.'
Tilson has given the party more than $300,000 in recent years.
Days after the President struggled to hold his train of thought and tailed off mid-answer into incomprehensible gibberish during the CNN debate, left-wing benefactors are still up in arms.
