Biden campaign sees no significant change in odds he'll get Democratic nomination
CBSN
The Biden campaign sees no substantial change in the president's prospects of securing the Democratic nomination and eventually resuscitating his campaign after another day of rough headlines, one senior campaign official and one person close to Mr. Biden tell CBS News.
A series of news reports Wednesday detailed how top Democratic congressional leaders have conveyed concerns that Mr. Biden might lose and drag down the party's congressional and gubernatorial candidates nationwide.
But those two people say the campaign believes those reports are merely conveying what's already known: that the president is enduring a rough stretch of presidential politics - perhaps the toughest in the modern era.
President Biden on Monday signed into law a defense bill that authorizes significant pay raises for junior enlisted service members, aims to counter China's growing power and boosts overall military spending to $895 billion despite his objections to language stripping coverage of transgender medical treatments for children in military families.
It's Christmas Eve, and Santa Claus is suiting up for his annual voyage from the North Pole to households around the world. In keeping with decades of tradition, the North American Aerospace Command, or NORAD, will once again track Santa's journey to deliver gifts to children before Christmas 2024, using an official map that's updated consistently to show where he is right now.
An anti-money laundering law called the Corporate Transparency Act, or CTA, appears to have been given new life after an appeals court on Monday determined its rules can be enforced as the case proceeds. The law requires small business owners to register with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, by Jan. 1, or potentially pay fines of up to $10,000.
