Hunger is rising in the United States with 12.8 percent of Americans claiming they struggled to afford food in 2022 - a 2.6 percent increase from the year prior. Information from the U.S. Department of Agriculture released October 2023 reveals that there were 17 million households who had trouble putting food on the table in 2022.

He has frequently invoked how he was the victim of a 2022 FBI home raid where dozens of armed agents stormed his home with guns drawn at him and his family. Houck was later arrested by agents in front of his family. His crime, according to the FBI, was shoving a Planned Parenthood worker the year prior as he and his family were praying outside of the clinic. Houck, who claimed he was defending his young son at the time, was later acquitted of all wrong doing.

Biden was set to unveil the grants in Virginia on Monday, part of the annual Earth Day celebrations. They will help some 900,000 low- and middle-income households install solar arrays on homes and community gardens.

'We all have an issue with memories as we get older, we forget names. He's overcome a stutter in his life and sometimes he might [stutter], but let's just say his entire cabinet including his vice-president would be more than happy to work with him again in the next term. 'I cannot say that about the other candidate running because nobody in his in his cabinet for 2016 wants to be involved with him.' Zakaria further pushed Douglas, asking whether Biden would be able to run the country four years from now, when he is well into his 80s. 'I think he'll be fine, thank you very much,' the actor repeated,
