Joe Biden

Fewer than three seconds of the State of the Union Address by President Joe Biden is getting a Republican senator in trouble.

KWTV reported Monday that Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford, the key architect of the conservative border policy that could have passed the House and Senate, appeared to agree with Biden about details in the plan.

Donald Trump just made clear he would like to cut Social Security and Medicare.

One year ago this month, Trump was attacking "potential GOP primary opponents" and "warning ... party leaders to stay away from the popular entitlement programs in their push to cut spending," causing a split in the GOP, Politico reported. "Lawmakers who once backed entitlement overhauls are now openly at odds with colleagues who’d prefer to soften their positions before they face voters in 2024. And a GOP presidential race that’s a referendum on Trump himself is now also becoming one on Medicare and Social Security."

Right-wing host Charlie Kirk blasted Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) for her response to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address.

On his Monday podcast, Kirk joined other Republicans who were unhappy with Britt's speech.

President Joe Biden's ambitious 2025 budget proposal, published Monday, is almost certain to be dead on arrival in the sharply divided U.S. Congress ahead of presidential elections later this year.

Instead, the 2025 budget serves as a blueprint of the administration's economic policy priorities, and highlights the sharp divisions between Democrats and Republicans ahead of Biden's likely rematch with former president Donald Trump in November.

The co-hosts of "The View" were shocked at how Alabama Republican Sen. Katie Britt misled the public in her State of the Union response speech last week.

Over the weekend, it was revealed that Britt changed facts when she blamed President Joe Biden for a shocking tale of a woman being sex-trafficked as a 12-year-old. The facts were revealed, Whoopi Goldberg said, showing the woman was trafficked in Mexico, "nowhere near the border," during George W. Bush's administration.

Larry Sabato, the founder and director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, was mystified by Sen. Katie Britt's (R-AL) response to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address.

Appearing on CNN Monday, Sabato mocked Britt not just for her widely criticized delivery, but also for her misleading story about a sex trafficking victim whom she wrongly implied suffered abuse during Biden's presidency, when in reality her ordeal came during former President George W. Bush's administration.

A Republican informed Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) that he was voting for President Joe Biden instead of Donald Trump because he was a Christian.

On Monday's edition of C-SPAN's Washington Journal program, a Republican from Connecticut named Nick told Biggs he was making his first call to the network.

Childhood friends of Republican Sen. Katie Britt think she did everything right for her political career in Alabama — until she became pro-Donald Trump.

Speaking to MSNBC on Monday, Republican strategist Rina Shah revealed that her husband grew up with Britt in Alabama.

Last week, Donald Trump angered vaccine-skeptics in his base with a post to his Truth Social platform where he touted his participation on rushing out Covid shots during his time as president while live-critiquing President Joe Biden's State of the Union Address.

Trump was angry over Biden's claim that the "pandemic no longer controls our lives," and that the vaccines that "saved us from Covid are now being used to help beat cancer."

The woman who is the sex-trafficking survivor in the story U.S. Senator Katie Britt spun Thursday night in the GOP response to the State of the Union has come forward to denounce the Alabama Republican's telling of events.

“I hardly ever cooperate with politicians, because it seems to me that they only want an image. They only want a photo — and that to me is not fair,” Karla Jacinto told CNN.

During an appearance on CNN on Monday morning, conservative writer Jonah Goldberg pointed to the substantial number of voters who are not pleased with either President Joe Biden or Donald Trump as their choices in the November presidential election who could swing the election either way.

According to Goldberg, Donald Trump is not doing himself any favors lately with his antics and is, in fact, chasing those voters away.

Speaking with host Kate Bolduan, the columnist pointed to what pollsters are calling "double haters" which reportedly make up 19 percent of the electorate.

Bolduan kicked off the conversation by asking about Trump's supposed outreach to moderates.

"There's, there's a weird irony here though, is that a big chunk of the Trump, existing Trump coalition, the one that turned out in primaries, were actually, particularly in southern states, former Democrats, right?" he told the CNN host. "He's won over that part of the FDR coalition that was the sort of working-class whites, you know, the sort of Dixiecratish whites. They're already part of the Trump coalition."

"So some of the people that he's talking to aren't the moderates, the middle, all that kind of stuff," he continued. "They're sort of the radicalized very online people that have been moving over anyway. I think this is all weird strategy at the end of the day. Every pollster you talk to who's honest about this stuff? This is going to boil down to what they're increasingly called the 'double haters,' people who dislike both of them."

"While Biden is not reassuring for a lot of people and a lot of people don't like him for legitimate reasons, when you compare Trump's approach, which is to make fun of Biden's stuttering, childhood stuttering and to be a jerk about it, that feels to me like it pushes more double-haters away than and I'm not sure it's going to be a winning strategy."

Multiple panelists on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" argued on Monday that Rep. Nancy Mace is "incapable of feeling shame," and they harshly criticized the South Carolina Republican over her attempt to turn the tables on interviewer George Stephanopoulos during an ABC News interview.

Speaking with Stephanopoulos on Sunday, Mace repeatedly accused the host of trying to shame her as a rape victim by asking why she is endorsing Donald Trump, who was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming journalist E. Jean Carroll last year.

Former President Donald Trump's campaign over the weekend paid tribute to the violent rioters who stormed Congress on January 6th, 2021, and it left Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi visibly disgusted.

Appearing on CNN Monday, Krishnamoorthi was shown a clip from a Trump rally where a recording of jailed Capitol rioters singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" was played over the loudspeaker.
