@AVindman

This was an historical speech for @POTUS. Like Kennedyโ€™s Berlin Speech, this is the one Biden will be remembered for. Biden laid down a marker that the US will defend its allies & democracy. Iโ€™m proud of my POTUS & his powerful leadership during a climactic battle for democracy.

Biden approval rating falls to record low in NBC News poll

President Biden's approval rating has reached a new low, according to an NBC News poll released Sunday.

Biden's overall approval rating declined to40 percentin the survey, which found that 55 percent of respondents did not approve of how he is doing as president.

 

In a January NBC News poll, Biden's job approval stood at 43 percent while 54 percent did not approve of his performance.

Seven out of 10 Americans questioned in the new poll expressed low confidence in Biden's ability to handle the ongoing conflict between Russia, Ukraine and other western nations, the poll found, and eight in 10 worry the tensions will result in higher gas prices for Americans and lead to nuclear war.

 

The same survey found Republicans held a 2-point advantage when asked which party should control Congress following this fall's November midterm elections.

Rep. Fortenberry to step down following conviction for lying to FBI

 

Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R-Neb.) said Saturday he will resign from office after he was found guilty Thursday of three felonies for lying to the FBI about an illegal contribution made to his 2016 campaign.

 

Fortenberry said his last day in Congress will be on March 31, according to a letter he sent to his House colleagues that was obtained by The Hill.

 

"Due to the difficulties of my current circumstances, I can no longer serve you effectively," Fortenberry wrote in an email with the letter attached to it. "Please know that it has been the honor of my life to serve you. Goodbye my friends."

 

Fortenberry was found guilty on one count of falsifying and concealing material facts and two counts of making false statements.

 

The congressman faces up to five years in prison and fines for each of the three counts he was found guilty of.

 

He was convicted of lying to the FBI when it interviewed Fortenberry about a $30,200 donation authorities say was made to his campaign by a Nigerian businessman at a 2016 California fundraising event.

 

Federal law prohibits contributions and donations from foreign nationals to any local, state or federally elected official.

 

Following his conviction, Fortenberry faced calls to step down from both House minority leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

 

"He had his day in court," McCarthy said at a press conference in Florida on Friday. " I think if he wants to appeal, he can go do that as a private citizen."

 

Fortenberry has said he plans to appeal and denied the charges against him.

 

"Do you think he would put his reputation on the line for $30,000 when he had $1.5 million?โ€ said his defense attorney, John Littrell, per The Associated Press.

 

The Nebraska congressman previously stepped down from committee assignments in October following his indictment. Fortenberry, a nine-term congressman, had been running for re-election in the upcoming midterms.
