Deep dives
Republicans launch impeachment inquiry against Biden
Republicans have initiated an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden, arguing that it is likely to end in an impeachment. The party claims that corruption or abuse of power, similar to what Democrats alleged during the Trump administration, should be enough to pursue an impeachment. They cite evidence such as testimonies from Hunter Biden's business partners, texts from Hunter to his daughter, and financial transactions linked to foreign sources. However, Democrats and the media contend that there is no direct evidence of Joe Biden's involvement in corruption, calling the claims baseless.
Biden dismisses impeachment inquiry, portrays allegations as distractions
Joe Biden downplays the Republican impeachment inquiry, questioning their motives and suggesting that they are using it as a tactic to shut down the government. He asserts that he is focused on his job and everyday issues that affect American people. The White House reiterates that Biden has not interfered in the Hunter Biden case, while critics argue that the lack of cooperation in the investigation points to a cover-up. The president's strategy is to let the battle play out in the court of public opinion, confident that the majority of Americans believe in his innocence.
Unions threaten strike, posing challenges for Biden's clean energy plans
The United Auto Workers (UAW) is threatening a strike if their demands are not met as negotiations with automakers stall. UAW is pushing for a 36% pay increase over the next four years, along with the restoration of defined benefit pension plans. This poses a challenge for Biden, who advocates for a transition to clean energy and hopes to build a strong union base. The outcome of this battle will not only impact the auto industry but also test Biden's ability to mediate between unions and corporate interests within his clean energy vision.
Democrats avoid defending Hunter Biden's conduct
Democrats do not plan to defend Hunter Biden's conduct during his time on the board of the Ukrainian natural gas company, Burisma. Republicans argue that this arrangement allowed him to trade on his father's influence as vice president. Even Hunter himself admitted that his last name played a role in his appointment. Democrats, however, are keen to distance Joe Biden from any damaging information about his son, indicating a possible willingness to throw Hunter under the bus.
Trump's alleged involvement in the impeachment of Joe Biden
Former President Trump's dinner conversation with Marjorie Taylor Greene has been cited as evidence of his role in pushing House Republicans to impeach Joe Biden. However, this assertion has been met with skepticism. It is argued that Trump's participation on social media may have motivated activists to contact their Congress members. Nonetheless, many Republicans believe that Biden himself is involved in corrupt activities, unrelated to Trump's influence.
The media rush to Joe Biden’s defense as Republicans prepare an impeachment inquiry against him; inflation jumps again as the Biden administration tries to make “Bidenomics” popular; and Mitt Romney announces the end of his political career.
