The Daily Signal reports on Joe Biden’s current political role, public statements, and party influence, with updates on investigations, policy advocacy, and his standing among Democrats.
President Joe Biden just tacitly acknowledged what conservatives have long suspected—that Hunter Biden may be guilty of far more than just lying on a gun-registration form and cheating on his taxes. On Sunday, Biden issued a “full and unconditional pardon” to his son for “those offenses against the United States which he has committed or…
DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—President Joe Biden and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on several occasions that Biden would not issue a pardon for his son, Hunter, prior to announcing that he had reversed his position on Sunday. Biden said in a statement released Sunday that he issued the pardon because Hunter had been “singled out” due to…
During the evening of Dec. 1, when the media had effectively closed shop for the night and everyone was engaged in some quotidian Sunday-night activity—preparing for the upcoming work week, watching the San Francisco 49ers play the Buffalo Bills, doing some online holiday shopping, or whatever—President Joe Biden was busily engaged in the exercise of…
President Joe Biden issued a pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, the White House announced Sunday evening. The president claimed that the charges against his son were brought selectively and unfairly. President-elect Donald Trump responded to the pardon later Sunday night. “Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter,” Biden said. “From the day…
DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—The Biden-Harris Department of Justice wants to place a gag order on the Texas surgeon indicted for blowing the whistle on a hospital performing sex changes on minors. The DOJ argued Wednesday that Dr. Eithan Haim’s discussion of his case on X created “a substantial likelihood of prejudicing the Government, further tainting the jury…
President Joe Biden met last week for the third time with Chinese President Xi Jinping—the leader of a regime Biden’s own administration has repeatedly declared is engaging in genocide. No White House statement about any of these three meetings has indicated that Biden specifically made this genocide an issue with Xi. The day before Biden…
THE DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Senate Democrats are pushing to confirm more than two dozen of President Joe Biden’s remaining judicial nominees during their final weeks in the majority, including several with controversial records. The Senate has already confirmed four judges during the lame duck session: Judge Mustafa Taher Kasubha to the District of Oregon, Judge Embry Kidd to the…
President Joe Biden has had a good run of successful judicial appointments. His total of 214 ranks third on the list of most appointments in a single presidential term. At 44, current judicial vacancies under Biden are below five of his six predecessors. But the American people just handed both parts of the appointment process—the…
The 1972 presidential election—which pitted incumbent President Richard Nixon against Sen. George McGovern of South Dakota—was an absolute wipeout. Nixon won 49 of the 50 states, losing only Massachusetts. In Delaware that year, Nixon took 59.6% of the popular vote and McGovern took only 39.2%. But the incumbent Republican senator running for reelection there that…
The Biden-Harris administration has seemingly hatched a plan to structurally alter the election so that Democrats maintain power. I sat down with Kyle Brosnan, chief counsel for The Oversight Project at The Heritage Foundation, for this week’s episode of “The Signal Sitdown” to discuss “Biden Bucks” and their potential impact on the outcome of the…
Biden-Harris administration officials seriously misled the American people during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a detailed and devastating report, the Republican majority of the House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations exposes “We Can Do This,” the administration’s two-year, $900 million public relations campaign during the pandemic. (The subcommittee is part of the House Energy and Commerce…
The Biden-Harris administration has proposed a rule implementing Obamacare’s controversial contraception mandate—again. Under the proposal announced Monday, certain health insurance plans would be required to cover over-the counter birth control. The text of the law creating Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act, doesn’t explicitly require that plans cover contraceptives, so how did we get here? What’s…
In the United States today, there are over 660,000 illegal aliens with pending criminal charges for crimes other than just crossing the border illegally. By all law and logic, they should be behind bars. Instead, they are allowed to roam free throughout the country, putting all the risk of their future misbehavior on American communities…
The Biden-Harris Justice Department is wrong in claiming that federal law bars Virginia and other states from removing aliens from their voter rolls. And if the law DOJ cites is misinterpreted by a court to agree with the agency’s erroneous claim, then the law likely would be unconstitutional. The Justice Department sued Virginia after it…
The Tennessee Star obtained a letter Monday sent by the U.S. Bureau of Prisons to attorneys representing Steve Bannon in which the federal agency acknowledged it is holding the former Trump White House chief strategist in violation of the First Step Act of 2018, as Bannon accrued 10 days of good time credit toward an early release. The…
DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—“The View” co-host Sara Haines gave Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz a chance Monday to clean up Vice President Kamala Harris’ answer on what she would do differently as president from the Biden-Harris administration. Harris received widespread criticism after she told “The View” co-hosts during an Oct. 8 appearance that “nothing comes to mind” on…
In 2006, Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine signed a bipartisan bill requiring the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles to provide a list of noncitizens’ names to the state’s Board of Elections for removal from the voter rolls. Now, less than a month before Election Day, the Biden-Harris administration’s Justice Department is suing in hopes of restoring…
Two hours before Hurricane Milton made landfall, President Joe Biden had only kind words for Ron DeSantis—even though his vice president, Kamala Harris, accused Florida’s Republican governor of being “utterly irresponsible.” At issue: a phone call. The day before, Biden even gave DeSantis his personal cellphone number, urging him “to contact me directly, if that’s necessary.” Harris,…
The Biden administration has turned to Japan repeatedly to bolster our national security, especially vis-a-vis China. But when it comes to allowing a Japanese company to acquire U.S. Steel, the administration seems to be conjuring up national security excuses to oppose it. In response to Chinese aggression, the U.S. and Japan announced in April enhanced…
Hurricane Helene’s wrath devastated the Asheville, North Carolina, region while wreaking havoc across the Southeastern United States two weeks ago. The Daily Signal traveled to Western North Carolina in the immediate aftermath of the storm. While the mainstream media’s coverage focuses exclusively on ravaged metropolitan areas, like the fabled River Arts District in Asheville, The…
