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.
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…
Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of the accompanying video from professor Peter St. Onge. The media’s beloved strong Biden economy is a lie, and Reagan adviser David Stockman has the receipts. In recent videos I’ve talked about how the blockbuster economic statistics we’re being spoon-fed is manipulated to irrelevance: In a recent…
Republican governors clean up President Joe Biden’s mess in both disaster recovery and the longshoremen’s port strike; the world still doesn’t care what the unelected wife of the president thinks; and scammers are just as annoying as ever. On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we give you the tools you need to…
On Monday, nearly 50,000 workers at 36 ports with the International Longshoremen’s Association began striking, the latest failure of Biden-Harris economic policies. The workers are demanding higher pay, a backlash against the record 20% cumulative inflation under the failed leadership of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. This strike could have major inflationary…
Kamala Harris traveled to Arizona to visit the southern border on a campaign trip on Friday—a trip House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green described as “little more than the arsonist returning to the scene of the fire.” “This issue [immigration] cannot be reduced to a political issue,” Vice President Harris declared in 2021…
In the wake of a catastrophic disaster, effective leadership and a rapid, coordinated response are critical to mitigating the impacts and restoring public confidence. That’s not what is happening. The aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which made landfall as a Category 4 storm and caused catastrophic flooding in North Carolina, has revealed significant gaps in the…
The Biden-Harris Justice Department is suing Alabama for removing more than 3,000 noncitizens from voter rolls just weeks after a coalition of left-leaning groups—including the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center—filed a similar lawsuit. Alabama is far from a battleground state, but the Justice Department’s move could have national consequences by setting a legal precedent for…
The U.S. Department of Education had millions of phone calls from families to its call center go unanswered and had technical glitches plague its student-aid application processing. Nearly 75% of calls seeking help went unanswered more than five months, and understaffed call-center representatives told families to “try again later” in what was part of a…
FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have repeatedly supported "gender-affirming care" for "transgender" minors, but the National Institutes of Health has approved multiple research grants acknowledging there is "scant evidence" to support the idea that experimental medical interventions improve the lives of children who identify as the opposite sex….
