Rep. Raul Grijalva has withdrawn from the race for the top Democratic position on the Natural Resources Committee, potentially avoiding a leadership conflict. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden's pardon of his son Hunter has sparked controversy, with Republicans criticizing it as hypocritical. Congress faces a December 20 deadline to fund the government, and President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet nominations are under scrutiny.
