Looks like Rep. Jared Golden has also added his name to the McGovern discharge petition.

Scoop: The DNC paid for Biden’s legal bills for the Hur probe, per 2 ppl familiar and FEC records.

Even 30 years later upon his death, a big racial split on O.J.'s guilt.

White Americans say he did it, 70-8.

Black Americans about evenly split, 30-26.

Johnson may have the worst of both worlds: Trump is not the president, so he doesn't have a shared interest in the speaker’s legislative success, but at this stage of the campaign, he is attuned enough to potentially complicate anything he tries to do.
