Joe Biden

Financial Times columnist Edward Luce on Wednesday took stock of former President Donald Trump's third White House run — and found that much of its shock value had worn off.

However, Luce cautioned that Trump has not gotten any less shocking than he was eight years ago, and he noted that over the last week Trump made inflammatory statements and took several alarming actions that, for any other candidate, would be on the front page of every major American newspaper.

Attorneys for Hunter Biden said that their client will not appear at a public hearing on the impeachment of his father, President Joe Biden.

In a letter to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), attorney Abbe Lowell said there was a scheduling conflict with a criminal case.

Politico's Playbook reported on Wednesday that House Republicans are seeking an "off-ramp" for their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, and a separate report from Punchbowl News adds more color to the GOP's floundering impeachment efforts.

Like Politico, Punchbowl News reports that many Republicans have concluded that there is simply not enough evidence to impeach Biden at this time.

Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) caught Republican leadership off guard when he announced he would leave Congress next week.

The Colorado Republican had already announced his intention to retire after nine years in office, but Politico politics bureau chief Jonathan Martin told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" his departure came as a complete surprise to House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).

House Republicans' impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden has so far failed to turn up concrete evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors, and Politico's Playbook is reporting that the GOP is now looking for an "off-ramp."

According to the publications sources, "Republicans of all ideological persuasions are increasingly admitting that they pulled the trigger on Biden’s impeachment too soon and that the effort has been hobbled by embarrassing setbacks."

U.S. President Joe Biden proposed a major tax increase on the fuel used for private jets on Monday in his latest budget request.

"The budget would gradually raise the tax on fuel used by private jets from about 22 cents per gallon now to $1.06 per gallon in five years," The Associated Press reports. "The Transportation Department says the increase would help stabilize funding for [the Federal Aviation Administration's] management of the national airspace, which is mostly paid by airline passengers."

Less than a month after Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel's resignation, The Guardian reported Monday, March 11 that ex-President Donald Trump's "new leadership team at the Republican National Committee started the process of ousting scores of staffers on Monday night, clearing out its ranks as they prepare to bring the Committee under the wing of the Trump 2024 presidential campaign, sources familiar with the matter said."

This move came immediately after Trump ally Michael Whatley and Lara Trump — the MAGA hopeful's daughter-in-law were selected to replace McDaniel to lead the committee.

Former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social late Tuesday night to claim that a video montage of his gaffes that aired at a congressional hearing was manipulated by artificial intelligence.

The montage — which features clips from news outlets that include PBS, MSNBC, Fox News, Newsmax — appeared in rebuttal to special counsel Robert Hur's suggestion in his 345-page report that President Joe Biden had memory loss problems.

Former President Donald Trump's decision to autograph a photograph of the slain student Laken Riley, then pose for a photo with a smile on his face, spurred harsh scorn from his critics on Tuesday.

Trump met with the family and friends of Riley, a 22-year-old Augusta University nursing student killed while jogging in the earlier hours of Feb. 22, then shared a press release Monday with a parade of images from the visit.

Georgia's primary election Tuesday secured for President Joe Biden enough delegates to win the Democratic nomination but showed signs of trouble ahead for former President Donald Trump, experts said.

Trump easily secured the state with 84.3 of the vote as of 10 p.m. but he was barely above 50 percent in the Atlanta-area Fulton and DeKalb counties, according to New York Times projections.

Donald Trump is losing the money race against President Joe Biden and it could cost him the 2024 presidential election, according to the former President's onetime Communications director.

Alyssa Farah Griffin, Trump's former White House communications director, took to the air waves Tuesday as Biden secured the Democratic nomination. She argued the 45th president has political momentum ahead of the Nov. 5 election but is trailing far behind Biden when it comes to fattening up his coffers.

President Joe Biden has secured the delegates needed to win the Democratic nomination, according to multiple projections.

He crossed the threshold by winning Georgia, according to projections from the New York Times and CNN.
