Has Joe got to go?

[View Online]( ) Has Joe got to go? Ever since a less-than-stellar debate night against Donald Trump at the end of June, there have been growing concerns about Joe Biden's age in running for a second term as President, with many very public calls for him to drop out of the race entirely. This theme has received a lot of interest from both the media and the public, with more than 24,000 articles written on the topic, and more than a million engagements with those articles. It's clearly not something that is going away, either, as the media has been consistently writing these stories for almost two weeks now, with Monday seeing the highest number since the day after the debate. This extends significantly beyond your average two-day or three-day news cycle, and positions the problem as a central one for the Democrats' electoral prospects. Interestingly, there is a small twist to the tale. While the vast majority of the articles are not positive for Biden, the most engaged individual article was actually a [Philadelphia Inquirer piece]( that held a mirror to the [New York Times piece that called on Biden to drop out](. The Inquirer piece called on Trump to withdraw from the race after his debate performance, and had 69k engagements compared to the NYT piece's 23k. The women-focused partnerships shaping the Paris Olympics This one's for the girls. Well, the Olympics is inclusive of all, but according to the World Economic Forum, Paris 2024 is set to make history by having equal numbers of women and men competing for the first time. It's no surprise then that we're seeing more partnerships and brand collaborations cater to women, with NBC most recently tapping 'Call Her Daddy' host Alex Cooper to cover the games on Peacock. With Cooper's three million [Instagram]( followers and five million weekly podcast listeners, NBC's hope is that her presence will convert young women into Olympic fans. There have been a dozen articles written about the partnership, but reporting from the Washington Post, specifically on the [publisher's Instagram](, has received the most attention, with over 16.6k engagements. Glossier and Skims are also making a splash with their Olympic partnerships. Amid the soaring popularity that US women's basketball has seen in the last year, Glossier has made a deal to become Team USA's [first ever beauty partner](, which it announced in an Instagram post last week that has since seen nearly 20k engagements. And while Skims is on its third Olympic collaboration with Team USA following Tokyo 2020 and Beijing 2022, the brand continues to stay on top of the trends by having an [impressive roster of athletes]( model this year's collection, with the women's campaign earning the most attention.
