On July 1, 2024, the US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that former President Trump is partially exempt in the 2020 Capitol riot case, with the key decision being whether his actions were in his capacity as president (enjoying immunity) or in a private capacity. This ruling sends the case back to a lower court, making the possibility of any trial before the November election unlikely. A top aide to Trump, Steve Bannon, was sentenced to 4 months in prison for contempt of Congress related to the January 6 Capitol attack. Meanwhile, President Biden's team expresses that the Supreme Court's exemption ruling does not change the fact that Trump incited violence that day. Additionally, despite Biden's poor debate performance, there is no current likelihood of him being replaced according to high-ranking Democrats, as his family, especially his wife and son, encourage him to continue running.
