The potential funding issues for Biden's library are compounded by the perception of his presidency, with some insiders suggesting that expectations should be significantly lowered.

The Western Journal: Trump Won More Than Just the Election, He’s Crippled the Dem Power Structure
The 2024 election has resulted in a significant Republican victory, with the GOP potentially securing long-term control of the Senate. The absence of Democratic senators from reliably red states has shifted the balance, making it increasingly difficult for Democrats to regain a majority.
This political realignment suggests that future Democratic presidents will face challenges in enacting their agendas, as the Republican-controlled Senate can block initiatives and judicial nominations. The dynamics of the Senate may lead to a renewed appreciation for the filibuster among Democrats, as they recognize the likelihood of remaining in the minority.

German officials emphasize that the definition of genocide requires clear intent to eradicate an ethnic group, which they do not see in Israel's actions. The ongoing conflict, sparked by Hamas's attack on October 7, 2023, has led to significant casualties, with differing reports on the numbers of Palestinians killed.
