KEARNEYSVILLE, West Virginia — With less than two weeks until the West Virginia Senate primary, Rep. Alex Mooney (R-WV) is downplaying recent polling showing his opponent, Gov. Jim Justice (R-WV), leads consistently by double digits, saying they don’t reflect the reality in the state.
“A lot of people are in denial here. A lot of people just think the establishment is going to win, but this primary is actually about who is a true conservative,” Mooney said in an interview with the Washington Examiner ahead of a campaign stop on Thursday.

Republicans are sensing a new opening to attack the Biden administration for its nearly $160 billion in student loan debt cancelation, as pro-Palestinian protests on elite college campuses across the country spawn images of chaos and, in some cases, destruction.
The protests have spread nationwide since an encampment at Columbia University sprouted two weeks ago. Most of the protests have broken school policy with occupations of parts of campus, and some have been characterized by protesters who block students from going to class, intimidate classmates, and some who have even engaged in “mob warfare” at the University of California, Los Angeles, according to Jonathan Butcher, senior research fellow in education policy for the Heritage Foundation.

The change comes two years after President Joe Biden first called for a review of federal marijuana laws.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called on President Joe Biden on Wednesday to take a “no-spoiler pledge” in mid-October, in which both candidates would agree to fund a 50-state poll and the weakest candidate in a head-to-head matchup against former President Donald Trump vows to drop out of the race ahead of the election.
“Ultimately, I think what we all want in this election is that Americans not have to feel like they have to vote out of fear, that they feel they can vote out of hope,” Kennedy said, speaking to a crowd in New York City. “That is only going to happen if there is a two-way race between me and President Trump or me and President Biden.”

Vice President Kamala Harris heartily attacked former President Donald Trump on Wednesday for paving the way to the state’s new abortion ban.
Trump has vacillated on abortion in recent months, both taking credit for the Supreme Court‘s 2022 decision that rolled back the federal abortion protections included in Roe v. Wade and rankling anti-abortion Republicans by saying he would not sign a national abortion ban into law during a second term.

The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady Wednesday following several months of higher-than-expected inflation, with investors now not expecting a rate cut until months from now.
After a two-day meeting of its Federal Open Market Committee in Washington, D.C., the Fed announced it will keep its rate target at 5.25% to 5.50%. The move was widely telegraphed.

DOJ is under pressure to produce audio of Biden’s interview with Robert Hur. Judicial Watch, the Heritage Foundation and CNN, have filed legal complaints to enforce Freedom of Information Act requests for the recordings. Audio recordings of the interview could shed additional light on the president’s mental fitness as Hur claimed Biden comes off as an elderly man with a poor memory.”
Ilhan Omar could face censure call after saying Jewish students are ‘pro-genocide.’ “I think it is really unfortunate that people don’t care about the fact that all Jewish kids should be kept safe. We should not have to tolerate antisemitism or bigotry for all Jewish students, whether they’re pro-genocide or anti-genocide.” Omar’s comments came as she was visiting student encampments at Columbia University, at which her daugh...

The Biden administration is taking concrete steps to reclassify marijuana, which is labeled as a Schedule I drug, alongside heroin and LSD.
On Tuesday, the Drug Enforcement Administration announced it intends to change the drug’s classification to be a Schedule III drug, on par with ketamine and some anabolic steroids. The change comes two years after President Joe Biden first called for a review of federal marijuana laws. Meanwhile, 38 states have legalized medical marijuana use, and 24 have legalized its recreational use.

President Joe Biden is taking a more aggressive approach in his campaign ads in his race this time around against presumptive Republican nominee former President Donald Trump.
While this year’s general election may have the same candidates as in 2020, Biden’s campaign ads this year are more aggressive in their anti-Trump sentiment than in 2020. Four years ago, Biden tried to put himself above political squabbling, but now he’s attacked Trump on some personal matters.

A Floridian may not be the easiest choice for vice president for former President Donald Trump, but that’s not stopping him from considering Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) to be his right-hand man.
Trump has a long list of people he is rumored to be considering for the vice presidency, including Rubio, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), and Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND). However, the 12th Amendment may complicate his pick if he moves forward with Rubio.
