Giuliani won’t be on Trump impeachment team

Trump was impeached by the House for a second time last week.

President Donald Trump is slated to hand over control of the White House to President-elect Joe Biden in three days.

The House of Representatives voted to impeach Trump last Wednesday on an article for "incitement of insurrection" for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol -- making him the only president to be impeached twice.

Sanders calls Biden's COVID plan a 'very strong 1st installment'

Sen. Bernie Sanders issued a statement in support of Biden's COVID Rescue Plan, calling it a "very strong first installment," hinting that he believes more should be done in the future. It could serve as an indication of how the plan will be received by the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.

"President-Elect Biden has put forth a very strong first installment of an emergency relief plan that will begin to provide desperately needed assistance to tens of millions of working families facing economic hardship during the pandemic," Sanders said Thursday in the statement.

"The president-elect's COVID-relief plan includes many initiatives that the American people want and need, including increasing the $600 direct payments to $2,000, and raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour," he added. "As the incoming Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, I look forward to working with the president-elect and my colleagues in Congress to provide bold emergency relief to the American people as soon as possible."

The ambitious $1.9 trillion proposal focuses on stimulus amid the ongoing pandemic.

Biden's plan would dedicate more than $1 trillion of the $1.9 trillion price tag for direct stimulus, officials said, while $400 billion would go toward COVID-related projects, including the nationwide vaccination program, and $440 billion toward relief for communities and businesses.

The plan includes direct payments of up to $1,400 to families in need, that when combined with the recent $600 stimulus payment would deliver on Biden's pledge to pass $2,000 of direct payments, along with a $400 weekly unemployment insurance benefit through September and a child tax credit.

Biden announces former Senate candidate as DNC chair

Biden on Thursday announced his slate for new leadership at the Democratic National Committee, including former South Carolina U.S. Senate candidate Jaime Harrison to be the next chair of the DNC.

Harrison, who lost the 2020 race to GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham last year, despite breaking numerous fundraising records, will officially become DNC chair after the full committee votes on Jan. 21, the day after Biden's inauguration.

Graham congratulated Harrison on the news in a tweet earlier Thursday.

In addition to Harrison, Biden also announced the names of four DNC vice chairs, all of whom were prominent backers of his presidential campaign, including Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who served as a campaign co-chair.

Whitmer is joined by Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth and Texas Rep. Filemon Vela as new DNC vice chairs.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called Harrison an "inspiring, energizing and influential" in a press release.

"As former Chair of the South Carolina Democratic Party and senatorial candidate, Jaime brings an outstanding track record of success -- from galvanizing the grassroots, mobilizing millions and shattering fundraising records -- that will be critical during this pivotal moment for our Party and Country," she added.
