A new Biden campaign ad focused on the economy and infrastructure included a subtle claim about the president's mental fitness, calling him "sharp as a knife."

The Thursday ad, titled "Sharp," centered on Pennsylvania steelworker Jojo Burgess, who spent most of the 30-second video praising Biden over his handling of the economy and infrastructure, but briefly appeared to reference the president's mental acuity by using the same descriptor repeated by the administration and Democrats to defend his cognitive ability earlier this year.

"I've been a...

“We have our jury,” said the judge at 4:35 p.m.

The House is set to vote this weekend on a foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan that has been stalled for months.

Similar legislation passed the Senate in February with bipartisan support, but, in order to steer around opposition from members of his own party, Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, is using a convoluted plan: It breaks that package down into three pieces, adds a fourth bill to sweeten the deal and then melds them back together again.

The strategy is designed to capitalize on the distinct bases of political...

A group of lawmakers that included Reps. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., and others could be seen huddled with Johnson on the House floor after morning votes.

Some lawmakers in Washington, D.C., who pushed for the impeachment of former President Donald Trump sang a different tune as they threw out articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday.

Both articles of impeachment against President Biden's Homeland Security secretary were deemed unconstitutional by the Senate on Wednesday in two party-line votes.

The first article alleged Mayorkas engaged in the "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" regarding the southern border in his...
