The Update- July 22nd

The Update with Brandon Julien

Swice up your life. “Swicy” — a mashup of sweet and spicy — is this summer’s blazing new food trend, with brands scrambling to make their way into the movement, perhaps a surprising one for hot-weather days. In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Monday, there's only one big story to talk about. President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race for the White House on Sunday, ending his bid for reelection after a disastrous debate with Donald Trump that raised doubts about the incumbent’s fitness for office. The unprecedented announcement, delivered less than four months before the election, immediately upended a campaign that both political parties view as the most consequential in generations. Businesses from airlines to hospitals have been grappling with a faulty software update that caused technological havoc worldwide on Friday, and its repercussions continued through the weekend. The breadth of the outages highlighted the fragility of a digitized world dependent on a few providers for key computing services. And in Dallas, the leader of an historic church in downtown Dallas nearly destroyed by a fire told congregants on Sunday that they will rebuild the iconic structure.
