Former President Donald Trump’s recent visit to Capitol Hill was met with a warm reception from Republican lawmakers, amid discussions of party unity and criticism of the current administration’s policies. Trump, who celebrated his birthday with a rendition of ‘Happy Birthday’ by congressmen at a private club, emphasized his vision of ‘making America great again’ and slammed the Department of Justice, calling it ‘dirty and bad’. He also hinted at a potential vice presidential running mate, likely to be announced during the Republican National Convention in July and expressed his support for former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan’s U.S. Senate bid while criticizing the current state of the country under President Joe Biden and promising to support all Republican politicians despite recent controversies and his conviction in New York which he claims to have raised $53 million in the first 24 hours after the verdict showing that people understand what is happening. On the other side, President Biden has made headlines by stating he will not pardon his son Hunter Biden, who faces up to 25 years in prison on federal gun charges. This firm stance by Biden, who expressed his pride in his son’s recovery from addiction and his decent nature, comes amid criticism of his handling of immigration issues and plans to close the US-Mexico border if migrant numbers exceed a certain threshold. Trump commented on Biden’s difficult situation, calling it ‘very tough’ for the family. The political landscape is heating up as both parties prepare for the November presidential race, with Trump’s influence over the Republican Party clearly intact and Biden’s administration grappling with its own set of challenges.
