House republicans with broad jurisdiction over national elections have hired at least two Donald Trump campaign officials involved in the 2020 fake electors scheme.Beyonce will appear and perform with Vice President Kamala Harris in Houston on Friday evening. Harris said that she believes Trump “is a fascist” after his longest-serving chief of staff said the former president praised Adolf Hitler while in office and put personal loyalty above the Constitution. On the other hand, Trump said on Thursday that if he were reelected he would in “two seconds” fire special counsel Jack Smith, who has brought two federal indictments against him in the past 18 months. Harris also announced record lending from the federal government to small business owners in a statement to ABC.
