Klain noted Biden's lack of awareness about his campaign and concerns over his performance.

The debate over the amendment has resurfaced, with historical context showing that both parties have fluctuated in their support for term limits based on political advantage. Ultimately, while the 22nd Amendment may remain intact, the discussions reveal a deeper hypocrisy in how both parties view term limits depending on their political needs.

Breitbart: NFL to Use 'Hawk-Eye' Technology to Measure First Downs in 2025, Replacing Chain-Gang
The NFL has adopted Sony's Hawk-Eye technology to measure the line to gain, aiming to improve accuracy in officiating. This decision follows a controversial ruling in the AFC Championship Game that raised concerns about the reliability of human judgment in critical moments.
