Without mentioning any presidential candidates by name -- Democrat or Republican -- Obama attacked economic myths peddled by the GOP, saying any assessment shows the country better off now then when he took office. He listed every major economic achievement of his presidency, from expanding overtime rules to tightening regulations on big banks. "Less oversight on Wall Street would only make another crisis more likely," he warned.

In new evidence of Bernie Sanders’ willingness to fight to the end, he is again challenging the legitimacy of superdelegates. Speaking to a crowd in Santa Cruz, California, the Vermont Senator said that the media would not be “factually correct” if it tried to declare Clinton the winner of the Democratic primary after the June 7 votes, because she will not have the number of pledged delegates to win the nomination.

A number of top Republican officials will be skipping this year’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland. Some made it clearly about Trump. Indiana delegate Josh Claybourn explained: “I could not in good conscience attend a coronation and celebration of Donald Trump.” Others were more measured in their excuses: “I can watch it on TV,” as Lindsey Graham put it.

Florida Senator Marco Rubio told CNN that he apologized to Donald Trump over his remarks about the Republican nominee’s small hands. Speaking to Jake Tapper, Rubio elaborated on what he told Trump backstage at one of the debates: “I’m sorry that I said that. It’s not who I am, and I shouldn’t have done it. I didn’t say it in front of the cameras, I didn’t want any political benefit.”
