Inside the Beltway | No presidential ‘staycation’ as Biden heads back to Delaware
There’s never been much talk of a summertime “staycation” for the U.S. president, or Congress for that matter.
“Members of Congress break for August with no clear path to avoiding a shutdown this fall,” noted the Associated Press. “Congress leaves for August recess with little movement on appropriations bills,” advised ABC News. “House to leave for August recess without resolving key spending fight, as government shutdown threat looms in fall,” said CNN.The congressional vacation also attracted the attention of someone who has witnessed many lawmakers come and go.
He also asked the crowd whether he should attend the first Republican presidential debate on Aug. 23. The big crowd responded with a collective roar of “no.”Mr. Trump predicted Sunday he’ll win a “crushing victory on Nov. 5, 2024,” which is Election Day, of course. “Ramaswamy didn’t attract all that much attention when he launched his presidential bid in February. A 37-year-old multimillionaire who made his fortune working at a hedge fund and then as a biotechnology entrepreneur, Ramaswamy had never served in government and was new to politics. He began making a name for himself as an ‘anti-woke’ crusader, but it wasn’t a name that most Republican voters had heard about,” noted NBC News in a new analysis of the 2024 playing field released Sunday.
