House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) is siding with former President Donald Trump as House Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney (R-WY) continues to attack Trump over the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
In a Friday interview with Axios, Scalise was asked about Cheney’s sharp criticism of Trump, which has drawn rebukes from Republicans, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
“Trump is still a very active part of our party,” Scalise replied. “This idea that you just disregard President Trump is not where we are, and frankly, he has a lot to offer still.”

After more than three months in office, President Biden will address the American people Wednesday evening with an update on his administration s agenda on the eve of his 100th day in power.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the in-person audience will be sparse for Biden s joint session address. Rather than the usually packed-to-the-ceiling crowd of around 1,600 officials and their guests, the House chamber will only hold about 200 people to allow for social distancing at Wednesday night s event.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is in charge of planning for the address, and she has distributed the limited number of tickets to the GOP and Democrat caucuses in both chambers of Congress to dole out to their members.

The term refers to a person who is chosen to not attend the president s address before the joint session of Congress so that they are able to take over the government if catastrophe strikes.
