Former Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) met with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Wednesday amid speculation that she could mount another bid against Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) next year. The meeting, first reported by CNN and confirmed to The Hill by a person familiar, comes after Loeffler in February said a 2022 bid against Warnock is “certainly on the table.” Loeffler was ousted from her Senate seat in January of this year after Warnock won a runoff race by a narrow two points. She served in the Senate for slightly more than a year, after replacing former Sen. Johnny...

Former Vice President Mike Pence during a speech Thursday in New Hampshire blasted the policies of President Joe Biden, observing the president had gone from campaigning “as a moderate” to becoming “the most liberal president since FDR.” Pence delivered his remarks during the Hillsborough County GOP’s annual Lincoln Reagan Dinner, and as he railed against Biden and spoke optimistically about the Republican Party’s future, the former vice president only further added to speculation that he himself could be considering a run for president in 2024. Although Pence did not give any indications of his plans during his comments, he conveyed...

I have been observing political maneuvering in California as relates to the recall of Governor Newsom and the candidates lining up to replace him. During appearances in conservative media, hosts have referred to the putative CA gubernatorial candidate as "Caitlyn Jenner" and used the pronoun "she." As Jenner continues campaigning, Conservative, Inc. is going to find itself in a position of pitiful intellectual inconsistency. For years, conservatives have rejected the concept of "trans" as simply impossible. Conservatives seek to understand and amplify objective reality over political narratives. Accepting the concept that Jenner is female is a direct assault on this...

Caitlyn Jenner may be ambivalent about Donald Trump, but is decisive when it comes to his successor. “Biden, I don’t think I’ve agreed with on anything.....since he’s been in there, he hasnt done anything for the American worker, maybe others. So, it is a 180-degree turn in our country, and it scares me.” Jenner endorsed Trump in 2016, but later disavowed her support after his ban on transgenders serving in the military.....in an op-ed in The Washington Post she accused Trump of showing “no regard for an already marginalized and struggling community.” “What I liked about Donald Trump is, he...

Simon and Schuster CEO Jonathan Karp says he will continue with plans to publish a book by former Vice President Mike Pence despite an attempt by some employees to cancel it. Karp was responding to an online petition of employees and petitions on social media demanding that Simon and Schuster refuse to publish a sure-fire bestseller. The woke Democratic partisans didn’t mince any words in their denunciations of Pence. An online petition accused the company of “complicity in perpetuating white supremacy by publishing Mike Pence. The former vice president was accused of promoting policies that were “racist, sexist and discriminatory...

Christie hasn’t spoken publicly about throwing his hat in the ring other than telling radio host Hugh Hewitt that he won’t rule out running against former President Donald Trump in a primary again, Axios reported on Wednesday.

In an urgent phone call to the acting defense secretary, he issued a startling demand. “Clear the Capitol,” Pence said. Elsewhere in the building, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi were making a similarly dire appeal to military leaders, asking the Army to deploy the National Guard. These new details about the deadly riot are contained in a previously undisclosed document prepared by the Pentagon for internal...

Lindsey Graham is trying to introduce Nikki Haley to big political donors and it’s not going well. The ambitious former ambassador the United Nations released a calculated break from President Trump the same day his defense begins in the sham impeachment trial. The problem: Haley is as unpopular among donors as she is among Republican voters. “Lindsey Graham is making this pitch for Nikki Haley and he’s calling around to people to ask if they will meet with her,” said Richard Baris, director of Big Data Poll. “These donors are angry and they do not want to sit down with...
