Maloney to Biden: 'I apologize. I want you to run. I happen to think you won't be running.'
Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) offered an apology to President Biden on Thursday after she declined to say if he should run for reelection in 2024 earlier this week, adding that she wants him to run. “Mr. President, I apologize. I want you to run. I happen to think you won't be running, but when you run or if you run, I will be there 100 percent,” Maloney said while looking into the camera on CNN’s “New Day." “You have deserved it. You are a great president. And thank you for everything you've done for m

Record-high inflation has wreaked havoc on an economy already struggling to recover from COVID-19. The Federal Reserve is aggressively hiking interest rates, but it’s too little, too late.

Europe is my territory for Human Rights Watch and I rarely take note of political events thousands of miles away in Texas. But the news that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas this week was chilling to me — and should be to anyone who cares about basic human rights.

Capitol Hill remained the center of attention on Wednesday, as Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) described her demands for the reconciliation report that could win her support, and Rep. Jackie Walorski (R), 58, died in an auto accident in her home state of Indiana. The future of the Democrats’ $739 billion budget package remains cloudy, in large part because Sinema wants changes after more than a year of negotiations. According to multiple reports, the Arizona senator’s ask includes dropping a provision in the bill that would roll back
