[1/11] The sun rises over the U.S. Capitol, as control of Congress remained unclear following the 2022 U.S. midterm elections in Washington, U.S., November 9, 2022. "Women in America made their voices heard, man," President Joe Biden said at a political event in Washington. At the political event, Biden noted that many so-called "election deniers" had accepted their own losses. A White House official said Biden spoke by phone with Republican House leader Kevin McCarthy, who announced on Wednesday his intention to run for speaker of the House if Republicans control the chamber. Republicans are expected to demand spending cuts in exchange for raising the nation's borrowing limit next year, a showdown that could spook financial markets.

While control of the next Congress still remains unknown, Republicans in Washington on Thursday began ramping up plans to take over the House of Representatives.

☆ U.S. Senate up for grabs as Republicans move toward House majority
  + stars: | 2022-11-10 | by ( Joseph Ax | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
(Live election results from around the country are here.) But Democrats were able to avoid the major defeat that Republicans had anticipated and were holding on in the close Senate battles in Nevada and Arizona. Even a slim House majority would allow Republicans to shape the rest of Biden's term, blocking priorities such as abortion rights and launching investigations into his administration and family. A White House official said Biden spoke by phone with Republican House leader Kevin McCarthy, who announced earlier in the day his intention to run for speaker of the House if Republicans control the chamber. Control of the Senate, meanwhile, would give Republicans the power to block Biden's nominees for judicial and administrative posts.
☆ While some of Trump's picks lost or underperformed, Gov. Ron DeSantis dominated in Florida — heating up talks about who the GOP nominee should be in 2024
  + stars: | 2022-11-10 | by ( Kelsey Vlamis | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
After the GOP underperformed, some Republicans are saying it's time to move on from Trump. Ron DeSantis handily won reelection in a state that has long been considered a swing state, defeating Democrat Charlie Crist with a roughly 20-point lead as of Wednesday. The drastic difference has already led Republicans to turn to DeSantis for 2024 hopes, a prospect that now seems all the more likely. But one of the biggest blows to the GOP, and Trump, came in Pennsylvania, where Lt. Gov. Some were already propping up DeSantis as the best choice for the 2024 Republican presidential nominee.
☆ Republicans close in on U.S. House majority, Senate still up for grabs
  + stars: | 2022-11-10 | by ( Joseph Ax | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
A split would mean the Senate majority would come down to a runoff election in Georgia for the second time in two years. Even a slim House majority would allow Republicans to shape the rest of Biden's term, blocking priorities such as abortion rights and launching investigations into his administration and family. A White House official said Biden spoke by phone with Republican House leader Kevin McCarthy, who announced earlier in the day his intention to run for speaker of the House if Republicans control the chamber. Control of the Senate, meanwhile, would give Republicans the power to block Biden's nominees for judicial and administrative posts. MIXED RESULTSThe party in power historically suffers heavy casualties in a president's first midterm election, and Biden has struggled with low approval ratings.

☆ Biden laughs off question about House Republicans' plans to investigate his son Hunter: 'Lots of luck in your senior year'
  + stars: | 2022-11-09 | by ( Brent D. Griffiths | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
A segment of House Republicans has talked about probing Hunter Biden for months. "Lots of luck in your senior year, as my coach used to say," Biden said when asked what his message would be to those Republicans. For months, a section of House Republicans has vowed to investigate Biden's family if they retake control of the lower chamber. As he has said repeatedly, Biden also expressed optimism that he could continue to work with some Republicans. The president also sounded upbeat about being able to find areas of agreement with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
☆ Election Day is Nov. 8, but the legal challenges have already begun
  + stars: | 2022-10-27 | by ( Associated Press | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +8 min
The suits, largely by Republicans, target rules over mail-in voting, early voting, voter access, voting machines, voting registration, the counting of mismarked absentee ballots and access for partisan poll watchers. But their legal effort ahead of the election focuses on making voting easier and helping those denied a chance to vote, through legal hotlines and volunteers. But the bulk of this litigation generally occurs after the votes have been cast, not before Election Day. Trump’s own leadership found the election was fair, and state election officials nationwide saw no widespread evidence of fraud. There’s growing concern among election officials and law enforcement about overly aggressive poll watchers or people pretending to be poll watchers intimidating voters.
☆ Fetterman, Oz face off on crime, inflation in Pennsylvania Senate debate
  + stars: | 2022-10-26 | by ( Jarrett Renshaw | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
HARRISBURG, Penn., Oct 25 (Reuters) - U.S. Senate candidates Democrat John Fetterman and Republican Mehmet Oz traded attacks on issues from crime to inflation in the lone debate of a Pennsylvania race that will help decide whether Democrats retain control of the Senate. The debate hall included two closed-caption monitors posted above the moderators that relayed dialogue to Fetterman. Oz and Republicans have sought to tie Democrats' big-spending bills combating issues including COVID-19 and climate change to rising consumer prices. He called inflation a tax on working families, saying, "Dr. Oz can't possibly understand what that is like." Oz went on the offensive in recent weeks, flooding the airwaves with ads painting Fetterman as a far-left liberal who is indifferent to rising crime.

The debate offers the Democrat's biggest opportunity yet to prove his detractors wrong in front of a statewide audience. A Fetterman campaign official told Reuters that the campaign has realistic expectations of the debate. The Oz campaign did not respond to requests for comment. Oz argues that Fetterman’s record of seeking lenIency for criminals as head of the state’s Board of Pardons shows he will make Pennsylvania less safe. "The Oz campaign has been strategically smart," said Chris Borick, a pollster at Pennsylvania's Muhlenberg College.
☆ Trump's Chinese restaurant rant is an 'attack on the National Archives' says the former US Archivist who served under George H.W. Bush
  + stars: | 2022-10-16 | by ( Hannah Getahun | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Trump last week said Bush stored presidential records in a former Chinese restaurant/bowling alley. Bush Presidential Library and Museum is located — that it leased from the General Services Administration, which is responsible for securing buildings for government operations. He was the first archivist responsible for transferring presidential documents under the Presidential Records Act of 1978. Trump's attacks on the NARA process of preserving presidential records, Wilson said, was a "great danger" to democracy. Bush Presidential Library and Museum did not respond to Insider's request for comment.
