Breathing room for Biden
President Joe Biden and his allies are hoping that big recent wins on climate, health care and more will at least temporarily quell questions among top Democrats about whether he will run for re-election. That optimism may be short-lived, at risk if and when former President Donald Trump announces a new campaign for the White House. But for now, the “Will he or not he” game in Washington appears to be on hold.

Republican candidate clarifies after calling for Merrick Garland’s execution
A New York Republican congressional candidate, Carl Paladino, clarified after saying that US Attorney General Merrick Garland “should be executed” for authorizing the Mar-a-Lago raid. The Buffalo area businessman has made it clear that he was “big” and Mr. Garland should be removed for his incompetence. “I’m just aggressive. The man should be removed from office,” Mr. Paladino said. “It shows his incompetence. He wants to put his face in front of the world and show that he has some attitude, but his choice of subjects and choice of methodology is very sad.” Mr. Paladino made the comment in an interview with Breitbart News, criticizing the Democratic party and Joe Biden’s leadership. “So we have some unelected people running our government, in a government of people like Garland, who should not only be impeached, but probably executed,” Paladino said. “The guy just disappeared. He is a lost soul. He’s trying to get an image, and his image, his methodology is just terrible. Raiding a former president’s house is fair — people scratch their heads and say, “What’s wrong with this guy?” Shweta Sharma19 August 2022 04:27 1660876207
