Donald Trump’s decision not to participate in the GOP debate allows him to avoid potential personal attacks from other candidates. Instead, he chooses to do a pre-taped interview with Tucker Carlson, which generates significant attention on Twitter and undermines the importance of the debate. The Republican National Committee (RNC) director, Ron or Omni-Metaniel, allows Trump’s surrogates into the spin room to defend him, even though he is not participating. This highlights the influence and support Trump still holds within the party.
Hunter Biden’s lawyers are targeting Joe Biden, with the possibility of putting him on the stand in a criminal trial. The plea deal negotiations for Hunter Biden’s legal issues were overseen by Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ).

This raises questions about potential political influence and favoritism within the DOJ.
