After several very confusing days, Joe Biden finally emerged on Wednesday after dropping out of the presidential race over the weekend. Appearing very frail, the president addressed the nation from the Oval Office in what was billed as an explanation of why he abruptly stepped aside as the Democratic Party nominee.

In fact, his clearly deteriorating condition combined with the things he said only served to deepen the scandal around him and Kamala Harris. Who is actually the president? Why is he remaining in office if he can't run...

On “CNN News Central,” Murray said, “House Republicans are launching this impeachment inquiry and they’re trying to make the argument that essentially there was no daylight between what Hunter...
