Sarah Palin has come out and fully endorsed Donald Trump before the Iowa caucases. Trump is happy to have her by his side as both have rogue tendencies. Is this a match made in the GOP heaven?
On Saturday, Pennsylvania GOP Sen. Pat Toomey chastised Pres. Donald Trump. Business Insider reports that Toomey said Trump has "committed impeachable offenses." The remarks came during an interview with Fox News. Toomey said that he was unsure if the Senate would move on any articles of impeachment. Pres. Donald Trump's term ends in less than 2-weeks. "I don't know what's going to land on the Senate floor if anything." Toomey is retiring after the 2022 midterms elections. Toomey serves as one of the senior Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee.
The Washington Post reports the Trump administration has prevented Joe Biden's transition team from meeting with US intelligence leaders. Biden's team has reportedly not yet been able to meet with officials at agencies including the NSA and the Defense Intelligence Agency. Both those agencies are controlled by the Pentagon. Business Insider reports that the Pentagon has denied any efforts to stifle the team's smooth transition period. The Pentagon said that requested meetings could take place as early as next week.
World leaders met on Saturday to discuss preparation efforts to contain and alleviate the coronavirus pandemic in the next few months. Leaders from Germany, France, South Korea, and Argentina were scheduled to participate in the side event to the annual G20 gathering. According to Business Insider, the US has more than 11.9 million cases and 255,000 deaths from the highly contagious novel coronavirus. And despite making up the largest share of confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths in the world, noticeably absent was President Donald Trump. He went golfing, instead.
Democrat Sarah McBride has won the race for her state’s first Senate district. This means she will become the first openly transgender state senator in US history. McBride earned herself something of a national profile when she addressed the DNC in 2016. In her speech, she celebrated the chance to elect LGBT+ candidates across the country. McBride’s district is a solidly Democratic one, while Delaware at large is a reliably Democratic state. She joins several other trans leaders at a federal, national, and state level.
