Business Insider reports that five House Republicans support impeaching President Donald Trump over the Capitol siege. Most Republicans are pushing against it. They are arguing that it would further divide the country. "This will only bring up the hate and fire more than ever before," one House Republican said on Wednesday. But multiple polls show a majority of Americans support the House impeaching Trump and the Senate removing him from office.
Republican former President George W. Bush called out the rioters who stormed the US Capitol building on Wednesday. Thousands of Trump supporters violently forced their way onto the Capitol grounds and into the Capitol building. The insurrection forced a shutdown of the House and Senate chambers of the US Capitol on Wednesday. Former President Bush called the scene "sickening and heartbreaking" in a pointed statement. He went on to say "I am appalled by the reckless behavior of some political leaders since the election".
Georgia's Republican top election official Brad Raffensperger says he believes President Trump's attacks on mail voting suppressed his own base. In fact, Raffensperger says Trump's baseless claims that mail voting is untrustworthy and fraudulent cost him the state. According to Business Insider, 24,000 Republicans who voted by mail in the state's June 9 primary elections did not vote at all in the general election. While Trump outperformed the polls in many states, he lost the key battleground states of Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, in addition to Georgia. What's more, an even higher number of Georgia Democrats who voted in the primaries stayed home for the general. Trump was the first Republican presidential nominee to lose Georgia since George H.W. Bush in 1992.
Immigrants seeking to become US citizens must now be prepared to answer more questions on a revamped US Citizenship and Immigration Services citizenship test. It replaces a President George W. Bush-era test that's been used by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services for the last 12 years. Business Insider reports the USCIS's new 12-question civics exam is lengthier than the previous version. It also has some updated terminology that may be more difficult for test-takers to understand. Passing the test is the last step before America's immigrants receive their decision from the USCIS and participate in a naturalization ceremony.
On Sunday, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden held an online campaign event. During the event he very-clearly mixes up President Donald Trump and former President George Bush. At the event Biden warned against "four more years of George" when telling people why they should vote for him. It's not clear which former president Biden was referring to. Business Insider reports that Biden's wife Jill had to gently remind the former VP that he was running against Donald Trump.
