Five stories to know for June 15, 2021:
1. U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said that President Joe Biden would not get a Supreme Court nominee confirmed in 2024 if Republicans regain control of the chamber and a vacancy arises during that presidential election year. McConnell’s comments come as some liberal activists urge Justice Stephen Breyer, the court's oldest member at 82, to retire.
2. Israel’s new prime minister Naftali Bennett gets down to business despite former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu shying away from a handover ceremony.
3. Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene publicly apologized for her remarks last month comparing COVID-19 mask requirements and vaccinations to the Nazi Holocaust that killed 6 million Jews.
4. NATO leaders warned that China presents “systemic challenges.” Biden urged world leaders at the summit to stand up to China's authoritarianism and military power.
5. Ahead of the U.S.-Russia Summit in Geneva, President Joe Biden says he will make it clear to Vladimir Putin that areas exist where cooperation between the two nations is possible. The Kremlin said Biden-Putin talks will be useful, but are not likely to yield deals.
