“”Doesn’t he now occupy is father’s congressional seat?””

As I understand it, yes... When his dad ran for president, he didn’t run for reelection in the House when most politicians hang on, campaign for higher office and if they lose, go back to Congress. It should be the way his dad did it - not the way it’s done by the yahoos today.

And one of my big pet peeves is they still draw a salary from the House while campaigning and not on the job. There is a regulation regarding that and their pay is supposed to be docked but that never happens. I have an old report where Kerry/Edwards - you name them - owed thousands of $$$ to the Treasury for salary received when they didn’t show up for congressional business. AS IF I need anything else to fret about!

I am not a big fan of congressional seat inheritance. I don’t care how good the politician or offspring are!

He could have learned some “bad habits’ from Dad!
Different era now, deviance from the “straight & narrow” by a GOP’er and it could be career killing! Let’s hope this stuff is an exaggeration!
