Rep. Jamie Raskin links Pence's 'I'm not getting in the car' to the 'coup'
Washington PostJUL 2022
Rep. Jamie Raskin has earned his role as the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee. With his impressive resume as manager of former Pres. Donald Trump's impeachment trial and his role in investigating Jan. 6, Raskin has proved his worth in the Democratic party and his resolute leadership abilities — essential qualities to take on the incoming investigations.
After largely escaping accountability in 2022, the Biden admin. is overdue for a change in pace, and the new House majority is ready to lead this. Regardless of who sits as Democratic ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, the White House will still have to answer for its questionable decisions that have led to rampant inflation, excessive government spending, and a botched COVID response.
