Trump White House Replaces Biden Portrait With Autopen

News summary

The Trump White House unveiled a new “Presidential Walk/Wall of Fame” along the West Wing colonnade and Rose Garden that replaces former president Joe Biden’s official portrait with a photo of an autopen. The administration posted the image via White House communications adviser Margo Martin and it quickly went viral. Republicans — including President Trump, Rep. James Comer and Sen. Ted Cruz — have used the display to renew allegations that Biden used an autopen to sign pardons and executive actions without his authorization, claims Biden and his defenders deny. Biden has maintained he personally approved clemencies and other actions, while critics note autopens have historical use and debate continues over potential legal or constitutional implications. House Republicans have opened probes into the autopen’s use, and observers say the installation is part of broader White House changes intended to mock and politically pressure Biden.
