Biden said Trump is driven by "vengeance and vindictiveness" and accused Republicans of being complicit with their silence. [HuffPost]
SUNDAY GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN ALMOST CERTAIN A group of hard-line Republicans are reportedly plotting to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) as early as next week, and are exploring replacements. Meanwhile, a government shutdown on Sunday appears unavoidable as efforts to pass spending legislation have stalled. [HuffPost]
SECOND GOP DEBATE RATINGS ARE OUT AND THEY AREN'T PRETTY Just under 10 million people tuned in for the second Republican primary debate of the 2024 election cycle, reportedly the lowest viewership figure for such an event since 2015. Trump, the front-runner who has skipped both debates, is now calling on the Republican National Committee to cancel any further ones. [HuffPost]
EVEN REPUBLICANS' OWN WITNESSES SAY THERE'S NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO IMPEACH BIDEN Republicans held their first formal hearing in their impeachment inquiry against Biden, revisiting a dubious claim he corrupted the vice presidency to enrich his family almost a decade ago. But two of the three expert witnesses they called said there's not enough evidence so far to actually impeach the president. [HuffPost] | | | | | | TRUMP ABANDONS EFFORT TO MOVE GEORGIA CASE TO FEDERAL COURT After indicating earlier this month that he might try to have his Georgia election interference trial moved to federal court, Trump's lawyers notified the state court that he won't pursue that relocation after all. Meanwhile, an appeals court rejected Trump's effort to delay the start of his civil fraud trial in New York. The trial could now begin as soon as Monday. [HuffPost]
THE MEDIA COMPLETELY FELL FOR ONE OF TRUMP'S LIES Trump did not speak to a roomful of striking Detroit autoworkers Wednesday. He didn't speak in Detroit, even. And he definitely didn't speak at a unionized automaker. Reading news coverage of the event, though, might tell you otherwise, HuffPost's Matt Shuham explains. [HuffPost]
AOC ACCUSES GOP OF FABRICATING IMAGE AT IMPEACHMENT HEARING Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) accused a Republican House member of displaying a "fabricated" screenshot of a text message to Hunter Biden to change its meaning during the first official hearing of the impeachment inquiry into the president. [HuffPost]
FETTERMAN SAYS HE'D 'ABSOLUTELY' TRY TO EXPEL GOLD BAR BOB FROM THE SENATE Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) said he would "absolutely" put forward a resolution to expel Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) from the Senate if there was a chance it would work. "I'm not interested in some kind of explanation on why he has gold bars in his mattress," Fetterman added. [HuffPost]
ELON MUSK FIRES ELECTION INTEGRITY TEAM AFTER PLEDGING TO GROW IT Less than a month after pledging to expand the safety and elections teams at X, Elon Musk has instead slashed the workforce. The layoffs likely surprised CEO Linda Yaccarino, who recently said the company was expanding the team. Still, Yaccarino has defended her role at the company, saying she and Musk "talk about everything."
