拜登在印度会见世界领导人
美国总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)与印度、巴西和南非领导人周六发表了一份联合声明，“重申我们对20国集团的共同承诺，即作为国际经济合作的首要论坛，为我们共同的世界提供解决方案。”
“作为二十国集团的现任和下三任主席国，我们将在印度担任二十国集团主席国期间取得的历史性进展的基础上，应对全球挑战。本着这一精神，我们与世界银行行长一道，欢迎G20承诺建立更好、更大、更有效的多边开发银行。这一承诺强调了我们可以通过G20共同努力，支持我们的人民走向更美好的未来，”声明说。
据白宫消息，拜登还在峰会间隙会见了印度尼西亚总统佐科·维多多，并宣布计划欢迎他于11月到白宫进行双边会晤。
周日，拜登将在越南举行单独的新闻发布会，他将在印度与20国集团领导人一起参观拉杰加特纪念馆后前往越南。
特朗普、德桑蒂斯踢政治足球
几名总统候选人周六聚集在爱荷华州，观看爱荷华州鹰眼队对阵爱荷华州旋风队，但围绕足球比赛的政治噱头有时会分散人们对主要活动的注意力。
比赛前几个小时，一条横幅上写着，“梅拉尼娅在哪里?”——似乎是指前第一夫人梅兰妮·特朗普——在衣阿华州艾姆斯市杰克·崔斯体育场上空的飞机上挥手致意。尽管特朗普明显缺席了竞选活动，但前总统唐纳德·特朗普周六晚上，在观看比赛之前，大都会歌剧院的支持者们在一个叫阿尔法·伽马·罗兄弟会的农家乐里见了面。
同时，佛罗里达州州长。罗恩·德桑蒂斯跟随两所学校的支持者，并宣布他将与爱荷华州州长金·雷诺兹(Kim Reynolds)一起参加活动。雷诺兹因决定不在共和党总统初选中支持特朗普而引起特朗普的愤怒。
“我为金·雷诺兹打开了州长的位置，当她落后时，我支持她，组织大型集会，&她赢了，”川普书写在他的真实社交平台上。“现在，她想保持‘中立’。”我不邀请她参加活动!"
北达科他州州长道格·伯格姆、前阿肯色州州长阿萨·哈钦森和企业家维韦克·拉马斯瓦米预计也将参加比赛。
弗吉尼亚州的扬金树桩
周六，在弗吉尼亚州众议院候选人的集会上发表讲话后，州长格伦·扬金告诉美国广播公司新闻，这次选举“关系到弗吉尼亚州的未来”。
“我认为，这是这个国家最重要的选举，”扬金告诉美国广播公司弗吉尼亚新闻。
但杨金提到共和党完全控制大会对全国的影响——鉴于今年11月预计将举行一系列势均力敌的竞选，这是一种可能性——他说，英联邦获胜的信息可能会引起全国选民的共鸣。
“当然，利害攸关的不仅仅是弗吉尼亚的未来或这个，”杨金说。“但是我认为这也表明了弗吉尼亚的问题是所有选民都关心的问题。我们经济和就业的未来。"
随着扬金今年将弗吉尼亚州的立法选举国有化，人们对他的政治前途也产生了疑问。他的州长任期有限，但并没有最终关闭2024年问鼎白宫的大门。
当7月份在美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)上被问及鉴于佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯(Ron DeSantis)在早期民调中落后，他是否认为自己可能成为特朗普的主要挑战者时，扬金说他“专注于2023年”。
Biden in India, Trump and DeSantis visit Iowa and other trail takeaways
PresidentJoe Bidengreeted world leaders at the G20 summit in India, presidential hopefuls converged on Iowa for a football game, and Gov. Glenn Youngkin stumped for Republicans in Virginia.
Here's what to know from the campaign trail on Saturday.
Biden meets world leaders in India
President Joe Biden and the leaders of India, Brazil and South Africa released a joint statement Saturday "to reaffirm our shared commitment to the G20 as the premier forum for international economic cooperation to deliver solutions for our shared world."
"As the G20's current and next three Presidencies, we will build on the historic progress of India's G20 Presidency to address global challenges. In this spirit, together with the World Bank President, we welcome the G20's commitment to build better, bigger, and more effective multilateral development banks. This commitment underscores what we can do, by working together through the G20, to support our people toward a better future," the statement said.
Biden also met with Indonesian President Joko Widodo on the sidelines of the summit and announced plans to welcome him to the White House in November for a bilateral meeting, per the White House.
On Sunday, Biden will hold a solo press conference in Vietnam, where he will travel to after visiting the Raj Ghat Memorial with G20 leaders in India.
Trump, DeSantis play political football
Several presidential candidates converged in Iowa on Saturday to watch the Iowa Hawkeyes take on the Iowa State Cyclones -- but the political stunts surrounding the football game at times drew attention away from the main event.
Hours before the game, a banner asking, "Where's Melania?" -- seemingly a reference to former first lady Melania Trump -- waved from a plane flying above Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa. While Trump has been noticeably absent from the campaign trail, former PresidentDonald Trumpthe met supporters at the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity, an agricultural house, before attending the game Saturday night.
Meanwhile, Florida Gov.Ron DeSantistailgated with supporters of both schools and announced that he'd be attending the event alongside Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds -- who has attracted Trump's ire for her decision not to make an endorsement in the Republican presidential primary.
"I opened up the Governor position for Kim Reynolds,& when she fell behind, I ENDORSED her, did big Rallies,& she won," Trumpwroteon his Truth Social platform in July. "Now, she wants to remain 'NEUTRAL.' I don't invite her to events!"
North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy were also expected to attend the game.
Youngkin stumps in Virginia
After speaking at a rally for a candidate for Virginia's House of Delegates on Saturday, Gov. Glenn Youngkin told ABC News that "Virginia's future is at stake" this election.
"These are, I think, the most important elections in the country," Youngkin told ABC News of the Virginia.
But alluding to the national impact that Republicans taking full control of the general assembly -- a possibility given the series of close races expected this November -- Youngkin said a winning message in the commonwealth could resonate with voters nationwide.
"What's at stake, of course, is not only Virginia's future or this," Younkin said. "But I think also demonstrating that the issues in Virginia are the issues that are on all voters' minds. [The] future of our economy and jobs."
With Youngkin nationalizing Virginia's legislative races this year, questions have also swirled about his political future. He is term-limited as governor but has not conclusively shut the door on a late-breaking bid for the White House in 2024.
When asked on CNN in July whether he thought he could be a primary challenger to Trump given that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is trailing in the early polls, Youngkin said that he's "focused on 2023."
