Joe Biden

Joe Biden clashed with rival Donald Trump over health care and social benefits on Monday as the US president visited another battleground state in November's election.

Republican former president Trump, who is seeking a historic comeback to the White House, said in an interview on Monday that he would back cuts to social spending.

Donald Trump gave himself a nickname that's reminiscent of a used car salesman to challenge president Joe Biden to a debate.

The former president refused to debate any of his Republican opponents, but he repeated his challenge to debate Biden "anytime, anywhere, anyplace" in an overnight Truth Social post that took glancing shots at vanquished presidential primary rivals.

Jon Stewart found the one moment in Sen. Katie Britt's repeatedly ridiculed rebuttal to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address he felt had not been ridiculed enough.

"Who smiles," asked Stewart on the Daily Show Monday, "when they say the line 'steeped in the blood of patriots'?"

A conservative YouTuber challenging Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) — whom he accuses of being insufficiently far right — could soon face serious backlash from the MAGA base over newly surfaced insults he levied against former President Donald Trump's teenage son.

The Daily Beast reported Monday night that GOP challenger Brandon Herrera last month relentlessly mocked Trump's 17-year-old son Barron.

The MAGA firebrand who presents himself as a crusader against the federal government's "reckless spending" leads his peers in the House of Representatives when it comes to office expenses, according to a new analysis.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) was reimbursed for nearly $43,800 in office expenses in 2023, according to a Legistorm report filed Tuesday.

Special counsel Robert Hur, who oversaw the investigation into President Joe Biden's retention of classified information, timed his resignation from the Justice Department with the help of Trump-aligned lawmakers ahead of his testimony to Congress, reported the Independent on Monday.

"According to multiple sources familiar with Mr Hur’s plans, the special counsel, who is appearing before the Judiciary Committee at the request of the Republican majority led by Ohio Representative Jim Jordan, has arranged his departure from the Department of Justice to be official as of Monday 11 March, one day before he is scheduled to appear on Capitol Hill," wrote Andrew Feinberg. "Instead of appearing as a DOJ employee who is bound by the ethical guidelines which govern the behaviour of federal prosecutors, he will appear as a private citizen with no constraints on his testimony."

The Justice department could significantly slash its special counsel budget for the next fiscal year, according to a new report.

The projection, which appears in President Joe Biden's budget delivered to Congress Monday, estimates the department will spend $4 million compared with the $29 million budgeted to the previous fiscal year, according to Politico.

A professor at NYU’s Stern School of Business says if Donald Trump wins back the White House, the impact on global growth, inflation, and fiscal deficits will be devastating.

In an op-ed in Market Watch, Nouriel Roubini warned that Trump's proposed economic policies are "now the greatest threat to economies and markets around the world."

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) argued against "effectively" governing and said the Senate should never pass another piece of legislation.

During a Monday interview on Real America's Voice, Johnson was asked about a bill that temporarily funded the government.

Republican political analyst and strategist Susan Del Percio told MSNBC on Monday that Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama killed her shot at being vice president.

In a broader conversation about GOP opposition to new mothers in Congress being allowed to vote remotely for six weeks after giving birth, an MSNBC panel turned to the Republican senator's response to President Joe Biden's State of the Union Address, presented from her kitchen Thursday.

Donald Trump supporters are trying force a recall election of Wisconsin's top elected Republican, assembly speaker Robin Vos, because he refused to impeach the state's head elections official.

Vos infuriated the former president and his supporters by refusing to decertify President Joe Biden's election win, and he angered them even more when he refused to go along with a plan to impeach top election official Meagan Wolfe, reported ABC News.

Former President Donald Trump has often attacked President Joe Biden as "Sleepy Joe," but after Biden's passionate and aggressive State of the Union address, Trump used a different line of attack in response — and mocked Biden's speech impediment.

The Atlantic’s John Hendrickson lamented that Trump has crossed yet another line — one that speaks volumes about his character, or lack thereof.
