COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Vice President JD Vance is hitting his home state on Monday to continue promoting the GOP’s sweeping tax-and-border bill.

U.S. senators from both major parties plan to introduce bills this week targeting China over its treatment of minority groups, dissidents and Taiwan, emphasizing security and human rights as President Donald Trump focuses on trade with Beijing.

A Republican strategist involved in Senate races said, “It’s not only the threat of impeachment; it’s the idea that the administration won’t be able to get anything done for the American people because all the Democrats will be focused on is impeachment.”

Democrats’ only real opportunity to set up a roadblock in front of President Donald Trump during his remaining years in office comes with next year’s midterm elections. They’ll need to pick up just a few seats to take control of the House.

Some top Republicans are regretting that they inserted a tax hike on gamblers into President Donald Trump’s megabill.

Rep. Barry Loudermilk, who’s leading the latest select subcommittee probe into the 2021 Capitol riot, told CNN that the president summoned him in early June to question the lack of any progress after the Capitol riot do-over was first announced in January.

Democratic Gov. Josh Stein's veto stamp will be tested this week at the General Assembly, with GOP plans for overrides.
