  Rep.   Nancy Mace  (R-S.C.) on Sunday said Republicans will face pressure to impeach President Biden if they take the House majority in the midterms. “I believe there’s a lot of pressure on Republicans to have that vote, to put that legislation forward, and to have that vote,” Mace said of an impeachment vote when asked by NBC “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd.  “I think that is something that some folks are considering,” she continued. Mace declined to say how she would vote on a potential Biden impeachment, but noted that she did not vote to impeach former President  Trump  in 2021 because “due process was stripped away.” “I will not vote for impeachment of any president if I feel that due process has been stripped away for anyone, and I typically vote constitutionally regardless of who’s in power,” she told Todd. “I want to do the right thing for the long term because this isn’t just about today, tomorrow, this year’s election. This is about t...

Biden, in remarks at a Democratic National Committee event at the National Education Association (NEA), issued a point-by-point rebuttal to the agenda unveiled by McCarthy. “We didn’t hear a mention of the right to choose. We didn’t hear a mention of Medicare. We didn’t hear a mention of Social Security,” Biden told the crowd at NEA headquarters. Biden, pointing to a proposal from Sen.  Lindsey Graham  (R-S.C.) that would ban abortion after 15 weeks, warned the GOP would attempt to block access to the procedure if they hold the House majority. He pledged to veto any such legislation if it passed, arguing a stronger Democratic majority could help cod...

The Democratic governor touted  California’s achievements , which included outperforming other states in terms of GDP growth and a more than $100 billion-dollar operating surplus.  Host Preet Barara then asked the governor how he reconciled those statistics with the fact that thousands of people have left California in recent years.  Newsom conceded that the state had lost around 182,000 people in 2020. He said many factors contributed to this trend, but the number one was  former President Trump’s visa policies .  "Our formula for success is getting first-round draft choices from around the world.
