Senate

Some Republicans say Darline Graham is a fitting caretaker for her brother's seat but oppose Trump's push to elect her to a full term, arguing voters should choose.

Trump had said as recently as last week that the $1.8 b. "anti-weaponization" fund was dead.

"Virtually everyone, Republican or Democrat, liked Lindsey," added Trump. "Well, not everybody, but he sounds good. Not everybody. He was a tough cookie."

Many senators were eager for Clayton to take up the post because they are unhappy with interim director of national intelligence, Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte, a Trump loyalist.

Stanton, a former Phoenix Mayor who was first elected to Congress in 2018, will now face Republican challenger Zuhdi Jasser in November’s general election.

"It's clear that the Democratic Party has moved consequentially to the left, and that they are much more heavily influenced by people on the progressive flank," Diker told the Post.

Clayton said only that Biden had been "certified" as president, while also insisting, "I am not an election denier."

Democrats are concerned that authorizing a huge Pentagon budget would be seen as approval of the war on Iran that began with strikes by the US and Israel on February 28.

Now, as AIPAC has rapidly transformed into a radioactive bogeyman among Democrats and Bush’s fellow progressives have mounted an ascent across the party, Bush is out for revenge.

"As much as it frustrates me, this process takes time... And on the advice of my doctors, I won’t be able to return to the Senate floor to vote quite yet," said US Senator Mitch McConnell.
