Rep. Mike Flood (R-Neb.) is urging his caucus to vote together as chaos over the House Speakership continues, launching a unity pledge for lawmakers to commit to a single candidate.

New polling reveals just how vulnerable President Biden is roughly a year out from the 2024 election. Biden has persistently low approval ratings. There are widespread concerns about his age. And, in head-to-head polls against four-times-indicted former President Trump, Biden is in a dead-heat at best. Now, polls in battleground states are flashing warning signs as well. |

The Persian Gulf nation of Qatar was where it preferred to be: a bit out of the picture but very much in the mix. |
