Rising gas prices become a political liability for Trump as Democrats frame affordability as a defining midterm issue and argue his Iran policy helped trigger the cost spike; the pump price serves as a clear, tangible signal voters use to judge the economy, intensifying the political scrutiny surrounding Trump heading into elections.
At Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr.’s memorial service in Chicago, his son Jesse Jackson Jr. took aim at Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Joe Biden for not truly knowing his father, even as Obama, Clinton and Biden delivered tributes. Obama’s remarks included a pointed jab at the Trump era, while Harris also spoke and Trump did not attend. The Jackson family had asked attendees not to bring politics; Jackson Sr., who founded the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, died February 17, 2026. Jackson Jr. previously served as Illinois’ congressman from 1995 to 2012.
Florida felon Oscar Freemond Fowler, whose federal sentence was commuted by President Biden, was released in February 2026 and rearrested within a week on Florida state charges for firearm by a convicted felon and drug possession with intent to distribute—for the same underlying conduct. Legal experts say presidential pardons cover only federal offenses and do not erase state convictions, and the dual‑sovereignty doctrine allows separate state and federal prosecutions, a principle upheld by Gamble v. United States. The case, likened to Steve Bannon’s, fuels debate over whether re-charging someone after a commutation is fair or necessary and how Florida’s double jeopardy rules apply.
At Rev. Jesse Jackson's Chicago memorial, Joe Biden quipped that he's 'a lot smarter than most of you,' tying the remark to his childhood stutter; the moment drew online reaction as mourners and prominent Democrats celebrated Jackson's civil rights legacy.
Pakistani businessman Asif Merchant testified in Brooklyn that an Iran-aligned handler tried to hire hitmen to kill a U.S. politician, naming Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and Nikki Haley as potential targets.

In a roughly 20-minute speech in Columbia, Biden went on the offensive against Trump, accusing him of fixating on Obama and trying to undermine elections, while contrasting his own record (lower insulin costs, job growth) with Trump’s. He criticized Trump’s immigration stance and his handling of a Minnesota violence incident tied to immigration enforcement, and noted a NBC News poll showing disapproval of Trump’s border policy. Biden also leaned on South Carolina’s history in nominating presidents as he framed the 2028 race as a continuation of Democratic governance.
Former President Joe Biden flew commercially from Reagan National to South Carolina but was slowed by an hourlong ground stop caused by fog, traveling with his security detail and engaging with fellow passengers, showing that presidential travel can resemble ordinary air travel.
Former President Joe Biden flew commercially from Reagan National Airport to South Carolina, joining everyday travelers on the flight; an AP photographer accompanied him, and Biden was later greeted by passengers in Columbia, with delays reflecting typical travel hassles.
Census data show manufacturing construction spending surged under Biden—with CHIPS Act megaprojects driving growth and spending peaking in 2024—before easing in 2025; Trump’s repeated claim of a 41% rise uses a different comparison window and is not supported by the broader data, while tariffs and policy headwinds have affected costs and jobs.
The fatal Minneapolis shooting of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by federal agents has intensified anti-government backlash and threatens a key DHS funding package, fracturing Senate Democrats over immigration and enforcement while Republicans push back; reports of ICE abuses, protester data collection, and international criticism complicate the White House’s response, as lawmakers consider accountability measures and impeachment maneuvers amid broader national-security disputes.

The Federal Reserve’s actions will be crucial in balancing growth and inflation.
