Biden literally said that there is nothing he could do and all opposition to Israel being "behind closed doors he doesn't like Netanyahu and expresses disapproval, despite his public support" and Kamala repeatedly saying that she would do nothing different than Biden. What did Biden actually do to pursue ceasefire? The ceasefire came because Trump wanted it after his inauguration as one of his immediate accomplishments, so the Trump White House called Israel's Foreign Minister to make it happen, and when Netanyahu tried to deflect by saying that it was Shabbat, so he couldn't get to it until Monday, the Trump White House threatened them and said "I don't care that it is Shabbat, this is happening. Sign the ceasefire". Israel absolutely cannot continue without US support and bombs.
That is an insane misrepresentation of what happened.
Yeah ok

Lol this article supports that Biden was part of the negotiations that Trump then just continued. I didn't know Biden also paused military aid at one point. So thank you for further weakening your claims I suppose.
This is a Trump administration classic. Always trying to take credit for the works of others. This recent Minnesota corruption scandal started back in Biden's DOJ. So it was already an ongoing investigation.
Even before that the local authorities were investigating. The Trump administration tries to make it out like it is some revelation they came up with.
Of course this administration needs some kind of anti-corruption win because they have never delivered their promise about reducing corruption. Instead, they have torn apart every agency that uncovers corruption.
