In an appearance on Fox News' Hannity, Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy proposed that former Vice President Joe Biden should suspend his 2020 presidential campaign during the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.

McCarthy said:


"Joe Biden should actually make a pledge not to campaign while impeachment is on, if he believes in fairness and that Nancy Pelosi didn't do this for him."

Watch below.

He later echoed the call on Twitter.

His reasoning?

The impeachment of Trump benefits Biden because his opponents who are Senators might be busy with the Senate trial. The fact that Biden faces several opponents who are not sitting Senators seems to have escaped the California Republican's grasp of the situation.

And while the Fox News faithful may agree with McCarthy, others had another suggestion for who should suspend their campaign.






Accurate statement:

And some had yet another suggestion: vote McCarthy out in 2020.

Neither Biden nor Trump have commented on recommendations that they suspend their presidential campaigns while Trump goes on trial in the Senate.

And while McCarthy is concerned about the presidential election, the Senate's actions may affect the reelection chances of the 18 Republican Senators facing challengers in 2020.

As of Tuesday, January 14, the 2020 election is 293 days away. Are you registered to vote?

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
