Trump is 2020's most admired man: Gallup. President Donald Trump is the most admired man in America this year, according to a new survey.
Eighteen percent of respondents to an annual Gallup poll named Trump as the most admired man of 2020, a year after he tied former President Barack Obama for the honor.
Obama was previously chosen as the most admired man for 12 years in a row, including the tie. Obama was named by 15 percent of respondents in this year’s survey, followed by former Vice President Joe Biden at 6 percent.
The survey was conducted over the phone from Dec. 1 to Dec. 17. The results were based on a random sample of 1,018 respondents, all adults 18 or older, living in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 4 percentage points.

House overrides Trump and allows Section 230. The House voted late Monday to override President Donald Trump’s veto of a defense spending bill for 2021.
The override measure, passed by a 322-87 vote, is now headed to the Senate for consideration, where Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has indicated that his chamber would vote on Tuesday to override Trump’s veto. The override would need a two-thirds majority to succeed.
“In the event that the president has vetoed the bill, and the House has voted to override the veto, the Senate would have the opportunity to process a veto override at that time,” McConnell previously said on Dec. 22.

Cruz and other GOP senators oppose 6K page spending bill.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is one of six GOP senators who voted against the nearly 6,000-page coronavirus relief and government spending bill passed by both the House and Senate on Monday, calling it a “legislative monstrosity” with $1.4 trillion in a “wasteful end-of-year spending bill and countless pet projects” advancing the interests of the “radical left” and “swamp lobbyists.”
Cruz released a comprehensive statement on Monday, criticizing the fact that lawmakers attached $900 billion in coronavirus relief to a $1.4 trillion “legislative monstrosity,” which he concluded will “escape close scrutiny because three times, congressional Democrats rejected good faith efforts to pass targeted relief.”
