'Blunder of the world'
A roundup of the headlines from the US front pages

President Joe Biden has vowed to "stay in the race" and "beat" Donald Trump, The Wall Street Journal says on Friday's front page. But even at his "high-stakes" news conference yesterday, Biden "made some flubs". The president's "make-or-break Q&A" was the "Blunder of the World", says the New York Post.
Biden isn't the only one feeling the heat, amid record-high temperature that are "stunning even forecasters", says The New York Times, as Las Vegas "hits 118". But in Vermont, a year after floods devastated the region, there is a "painful deja vu" for locals, says The Boston Globe, after tributaries of the Winooski River "burst their banks again" amid "heavy storms".
There was some good news for the nation though. As inflation eases, rates cuts "may not be far behind", says The Washington Post, giving "long-awaited relief" to households and businesses.
