On March 7, 2024, before U.S. President Joe Biden had even begun his State of the Union address, he caught a glance of U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. But House Democrats expressed a different emotion than the mix of astonishment and disgust that came over Biden's face: scorn. The committee's website contains a brief overview of the regulations against using "official resources for campaign and political purposes." The House buildings, and House rooms and offices – including district offices – are supported with official funds and hence are considered official resources. Greene's decision to wear the hat in the House chamber during an election year could very well be viewed as a "campaign activity."
