An editorial published, without an individual’s signature, by the Washington Examiner is calling on Joe Biden to follow the law … for a change.
The problem cited by the Examiner is that Biden has been running a re-election committee in violation of federal law.
It notes that he’s already “shown complete disregard for the law” regarding student loans, the southern border and food stamps.
“So perhaps it’s no surprise that he is ignoring election law, too,” it said.

The issue is that while Biden actively has been pursuing a nomination for the White House in 2024, he’s refused to inform the Federal Elections Commission, as required by the law.
“If there were any remaining doubts about President Joe Biden’s intention to run for reelection, they should be gone now after his recent trips to Covington, Kentucky, and El Paso, Texas,” the Examiner said. “In Kentucky, Biden posed with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to burnish his bipartisan bona fides in spending money on infrastructure projects. In El Paso, the president made his first trip ever to the southern border, making it harder for Republicans to say he is ignoring the crisis of mass lawlessness and hardship he created there.”
Those are the trips, it said, “of a president gearing up for re-election.”
“The legal requirement to file with the Federal Election Commission for reelection doesn’t include making trips to Covington or El Paso. It does, however, include spending money on your election campaign and authorizing people to make statements indicating that you have decided to run. Biden has done both. His campaign, Biden for President, has spent more than $5 million since Jan. 20, 2021, including more than $1 million on outreach to voters through email and texts. The legal tripwire is $5,000, a thousandth of Biden’s outlays so far,” the Examiner reported.
