The Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to boot Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 presidential primary ballot could create a fundraising goldmine for him and increase his standing with fellow Republicans, a top GOP advisor said. “It serves to energize the Trump supporters and to give the former president a chance to raise more money from people who are suddenly going to be angry about what’s going on,” Karl Rove, the former senior advisor during George W. Bush’s administration, told Fox News’ “The Story” on Saturday. “This does not look fair, does not look appropriate. And the response is going to...

McDaniel responded by saying that because the RNC is a federal committee, it couldn't be expected to participate in state races. Given all races ultimately happen at...

At the end of the second quarter, DeSantis had $6.6 million in primary funds available, according to an NBC News analysis of his last campaign finance...
