Biden White House cheers ‘red ripple’ as Republicans underperform midterm forecasts

Biden White House cheers ‘red ripple’ as Republicans underperform midterm forecasts

WORLD
TREVOR HUNNICUTT and JEFF MASON U.S. President Joe Biden, who declared optimism about the midterm elections this week despite opinion polls predicting Republican wins, had reason to feel vindicated morning even though his Democrats could still lose control of Congress. Republicans may eke out a narrow majority in the House of Representatives and the Senate was still up for grabs with key races in Arizona, Georgia and Nevada undecided.

Trump’s coming impeachment trial aggravates rift among Republicans

Trump’s coming impeachment trial aggravates rift among Republicans

WORLD
SUSAN CORNWELL THE coming second impeachment trial of former U.S. President Donald Trump on a charge of inciting the deadly storming of the Capitol has aggravated a rift among his fellow Republicans that was on full display on Sunday. At least one Republican, Senator Mitt Romney, said he believed the trial, which could lead to a vote banning Trump from future office, was a necessary response to the former president's inflammatory call to his supporters to "fight" his election defeat before the Jan. 6 attack. Ten Republicans joined the House of Representatives in voting to impeach Trump on a charge…
