Former vice president Mike Pence has refused to endorse Donald Trump. This schism started days before rioters roamed the halls of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, threatening to “hang Mike Pence.”

The GOP presidential nominee is facing accusations from his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, that he is advocating for Ukraine to surrender.

Vermont Sen. Peter Welch called on Biden to withdraw, becoming the first Senate Democrat to do so.

House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi stopped short of saying President Biden should continue his reelection campaign.

Lawmakers are returning to Washington and confronting a choice: whether to work to revive the president’s reelection campaign or try to edge him out.

Jeffries and the House Democratic leadership team decided this week they would help Speaker Mike Johnson stay on the job rather than be ousted by far-right Republicans led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

The decision to support Ukraine at all has angered conservatives in the House and given energy to a threat to remove Mike Johnson from the speaker’s office.

As Donald Trump campaigns to return to the White House, the House Administration subcommittee on oversight held the first of what is expected to be regular public hearings revisiting the official account.

In a remarkable turnaround, the Senate Republican leader said Donald Trump “has earned the requisite support of Republican voters to be our nominee for president.”

Focused on border security, Republicans in the House argue that Mayorkas has “refused to comply” with immigration laws resulting in the record surge of immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.

A surprise effort by hard-right House Republicans to impeach President Biden has been sidelined for now. But the ability of Rep. Lauren Boebert to force the issue demonstrates the challenge Speaker Kevin McCarthy faces in controlling his own majority.

The investigation appears to be far reaching, seeking to determine “whether Representative George Santos may have engaged in unlawful activity with respect to his 2022 congressional campaign” among other actions, the committee said in a statement.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was able to solidify party support against the Somali-born Muslim woman in the new Congress although some GOP lawmakers had expressed reservations.

Republican leaders have refused to take action against Santos, whose election helped give them a slim hold on the House majority.

Kevin McCarthy became the first House speaker nominee in 100 years to fail to win the gavel from his fellow party members on the initial vote.
