Mnuchin Weighed Invoking 25th Amendment

· Leave a Comment

After the January 6 insurrection, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin spoke with other Cabinet members about attempting to remove Donald Trump from office through the 25th Amendment, MSNBC reports.

But the idea was “quickly jettisoned” once Mnuchin recognized how difficult the path would be, especially since Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao were resigning.

Same Election. Different Stories.

Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.

That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
