CNN —

 

''Sen. Chris Van Hollen announced Sunday that he suffered a “minor stroke” over the weekend and is hospitalized.''

 

The Maryland Democrat said in a statement that his doctors have told him “there are no long-term effects or damage as a result of this incident” but that he will remain in the hospital for observation in the coming days. He said in the statement that he plans to return to work later this week.

 

The lawmaker was admitted to George Washington University Hospital over the weekend after he had been “experiencing lightheadedness and acute neck pain” while delivering a speech in his home state, according to his statement. He said he sought medical help upon returning home at a doctor’s recommendation.

 

His announcement came as a reminder of Democrats’ perilously thin majority in the 50-50 Senate, where they cannot afford to lose any votes.

 

Democratic Sen. Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico returned to work in March after suffering a stroke earlier this year.

 

''The health news from Van Hollen, who is up for reelection this year, came the same day Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, the front-runner for the Democratic Senate nomination in his state on Tuesday, announced he’s recovering after a stroke.''

Biden in the News

Biden Rips Trump’s Agreement With Kim.

The Washington Times (6/12, Boyer) reports that former Vice President Joe Biden blasted President Trump’s “deal with North Korea on denuclearization Tuesday, saying Mr. Trump got taken to the cleaners by Kim Jong-un. ‘Talking to dictators is one thing; embracing them is another,’ Mr. Biden said” in a statement. He added, “So far, this is not a deal that advantages the United States or makes us safer.” Biden, “who hasn’t ruled out a bid for the presidency in 2020, said Mr. Trump’s deal has ‘reduced our leverage and signaled a weakening of our alliance in return for vague promises to begin nuclear negotiations – the same kind of promises that the North Korean regime has made to American presidents of both parties in the past – and broken repeatedly.’” The Los Angeles Times (6/12, Cloud) also reports Biden’s reaction – in a story headlined “Trump’s Decision To Halt Military Exercises With South Korea Leaves Pentagon And Allies Nervous” – and The Hill (6/12, Anapol) reported that Biden said Trump “gave Kim ‘many sought-after wins up front without getting anything in return.’” Biden “also argued that the deal between Trump and Kim shows an inappropriate embracing of a dictator, and that it does not make the US safer. ‘While we should never refuse to speak with our adversaries, neither can we ignore the horrendous human rights abuses North Korea’s leaders perpetrate against their own people,’ Biden said.”

 

Mediaite (6/12, Feldman) reported that Biden “is also troubled by the lack of prep Trump said he took in advance of the meeting: ‘By his own admission, the President did not prepare for the Singapore meeting – an inexcusable and irresponsible approach to a high-stakes negotiation. Going forward, I hope that the President and his team will focus on what’s necessary for our safety and security– – the complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. That is a goal we all share.’” On CNN’s NewsroomImage removed by sender. Video (6/12), host Brooke Baldwin read Biden’s statement.

Subject:BREAKING NEWS: Trump's military parade delayed until 2019From:"POLITICO" email@politicoemail.comTo:Hbiden@rosemontseneca.comDate:2018-08-16 21:36

The controversial military parade ordered by President Donald Trump originally scheduled for Veterans Day will be delayed until 2019, the Pentagon announced Thursday night.

 

The Defense Department, which first planned the parade for November to coincide with Veterans Day weekend and the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, did not give a reason for abrupt change of plan, simply issuing a statement that said it has "agreed to explore opportunities in 2019."

 

The announcement came only hours after a report by CNBC that the estimated cost of the parade is now as much as $92 million — far more than previous estimates of between $12 million and $30 million.

 

Trump originally asked for the military to organize such an event after seeing similar demonstrations on Bastille Day in France, but lawmakers on both sides of the aisle criticized the pomp and circumstance as reminiscent of authoritarian regimes.

 

The parade is expected to include marching troops from different branches as well as a "heavy air component" of modern and historic war planes, the Pentagon said in March. But it will not include some of the heaviest military hardware like tanks to avoid damaging roads between the White House and the Capitol like the last one in 1991 after the Persian Gulf War.

 

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
