Last night's Republican debate saw some harsh jabs from Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. Here is the round up of the most outrageous.
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio announces his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination from the Freedom Tower in Miami. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
Donald Trump Jr. had considered running for an open Senate seat in Wyoming last year--but decided against it. Instead, Business Insider reports the eldest son of President Donald Trump and girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle are looking at real estate in Florida. The eldest son of President Donald Trump has sparred with Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) over his father's foreign policy agenda in the past. But while Wyoming strongly leans Republican, he lacked roots in the Western state, which is also the least populated state in the US. White House advisor Ivanka Trump is thought of as a potential Republican challenger to GOP Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida in 2022. Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner are also house-hunting in Florida, where her father and stepmother plan to relocate shortly.
Marco Rubio of Florida urged President-elect Joe Biden to put $2,000 stimulus payments at the top of his agenda. The Florida senator supported the Caring for Americans with Supplemental Help Act that passed in the House on Dec. 28. Rubio begged Biden work past partisan motives to get $2,000 payments to Americans. According to Business Insider, Biden previously expressed support for $2,000 stimulus checks. They are expected to be included in his economic relief package releasing on Thursday.
On Wednesday, Vice President Mike Pence wrote a letter to Congress. In the letter he does not have the "unilateral authority" to throw out states' electoral votes. The statement came minutes before Congress convened to officially certify President-elect Joe Biden's 2020 election victory. Pres. Trump has insisted that Pence has the power to "decertify" states' electoral votes and throw the election to him.
