Grijalva Withdraws from Natural Resources Panel Race

Rep. Raul Grijalva has withdrawn from the race for the top Democratic position on the Natural Resources Committee, potentially avoiding a leadership conflict. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden's pardon of his son Hunter has sparked controversy, with Republicans criticizing it as hypocritical. Congress faces a December 20 deadline to fund the government, and President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet nominations are under scrutiny. Speaker Mike Johnson criticized Biden's pardon as an abuse of the justice system, while Trump suggested it could justify future pardons for January 6 participants.
